It really helps especially when our local exchanges offers more services that we have avail with bitcoins, by paying our bills in the internet is already major improvement that would give us comfort that we will not personally go anymore to the office to pay the bills, I hope more to come so we can enjoy more and we can utilize our time properly.
Yes, bitcoins as far as good source of income also it is useful for us to services, and we utilize it in anywhere. When i started bitcoins so left my credit cards because it is really helpful to me like paying the bills and also i am doing the online shopping. But i have a problem that in my country i can't use it in any shops and also out way. But i can use it easily in online shopping but limited. So i can say that i am using the coins in my real life.
No problem with real life though because even if in your area there are only limited shops that you can use your bitcoins you can always do cash out anytime you need, actually I don't see my earnings online as bitcoin only as I automatically consider it as fiat especially when I am in need of money.
