I think that is a bit of an unfair comparison. If you are creative enough there are actually a lot of outlets to buy things with Bitcoin and it is possible to buy most physical goods with in these days. There is less accessibility for purchasing services (like covering a trip to the dentist) but even that can be solved in a sense with access to Bitcoin ATM machines. I'd say it has actually achieved a lot in the ten years it has existed so far, considering it is a brand new payment method - not like a new debit/credit card provider who might just piggy back off existing infrastructure and has everything laid out already. Every day we see new outlets for it and that seems like progress to me - good luck trading much for your collection of rocks.

Some outlets that allow purchases using bitcoin are aware of the use of bitcoins which can be useful as a profitable investment. but we also have to see where the transaction is done. in developing countries it is still not allowed to be used as a legal payment option, only as a commodity trade.

ATAM bitcoin is only as a means to get bitcoin more easily without KYC and is global. To make payments using bitcoin, anyone can actually do it, either individually or in a P2P system, without the need to give anyone permission. You have an item and I need bitcoins, set a price and make transactions between wallets. very simple.
