There are many services/merchants/shops accepting bitcoin right now, and the number is growing. The problem is that usually payment with bitcoin is not widely announced and are often hidden under debit/credit, paypal and bank transfer method of payment.
If you are a bitcoin enthusiast, you will learn to dig them out.
Eventually you`ll have to lol.
I mean yeah keep some for reserve, but if youre really trying to hedge money for profit, you`ll use bitcoin itself as a advantage since its not a "legit currency" to peoples eyes.
I use it all the time to buy and sell things that only accept bitcoin that end up being one way to cash out without worrying the value drop.
