though it would be nice if we had some more shops that would accept bitcoin payments as its really easy to use
The most people did not do this because right now its not possible at the most places I've been honestly.
If you want to spend them in real life there need some stores accepting it in your local area if this is not the case, you cannot do this and that is also the thing at the most people right now, they want to spend them in real life but its still not possible.
You are right without any doubts because in fact the most people want it but they cannot do this due to the point there are no stores.
I only did it ones when I was in Arnhem, in a Arnhem there are a lot of stores that are accepting the bitcoin, I think its one of the biggest cities with bitcoin accepted stores, they have around the 100 stores right now.
I even think there will come more in that area, you can look up the website from them (http://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/)
