I personally use Bitcoin wherever I possibly can, and accept it directly without converting it to fiat immediately. I have been using Bitcoin daily for years. (Ever since Bitpay started improving its Bitcoin debit card product)
I as a crypto user who does not use crypto for daily activities. It can be said that I rarely use crypto for real world transactions, because in our country we only allow the use of fiat. I only use BTC for trading.
Maybe it would be very fun if in my country allow the use of Bitcoin for buying and selling transactions in the real world. At least in our country we still allow crypto trading activities, without special rules.
There are still countries that are not favor in bitcoin and that is why it is illegal to use for them but I live in a country that legalized bitcoin. Even the bitcoin is freely to use, there are still a lot of challenges that should be resolve like the awareness that progresses very slowly. I cannot still buy the things that I desire because of the businesses that are still not willing to accept the new payment system.
If there will be an increased in awareness, the adoption will grow and many businesses will see a new opportunity to have netter payment system. People are often using bitcoin in speculating and in trading. There are only few persons out there that spending their bitcoins in order to buy the things that they need and want.
