In our country it's so easy to spend bitcoins and some altcoins like eth,xrp and bch because we have an exchange that we can convert automatically into our local money. But we can also use it directly to pay our bills. It's very convenience to use and hassle free.
We might be living in the same country because we can also spend bitcoin and other alts the similar way like what you've mention. Recently I ordered few items in an online shop and paid it through bitcoin, thats how I spend it nowadays because its not easy to go outside while there's still a virus that we didnt see so its better to stay this way for now.
