Indeed, in some countries Bitcoin is usable to buy stuff. My point was that it is far from being the case in many countries.
I can only talk for myself, being from a Western country of Europe, where Bitcoin is not usable to buy anything, most of my friends or relatives always ask me the same question, what can you buy? And from my personal experience, I only used Bitcoin to play poker or bet on sports, that's the only service I bought with Bitcoin.
But I would love to be able to buy flight tickets with Bitcoin in the future, or cars, real estate, etc. Still a long way, hope we will get there eventually.
Where do you live then?

but let's say I live in a Western country of Europe
not the most crypto friendly country, BUT I have double residence and live most of the year in an Asian country where I can feel the difference. Asia is what keeps me interested into cryptocurrencies, also what made me buy some XRP a week ago.
Do you live in North America?
