Are you sure? I haven't experienced that.. When I have to purchase something I need to convert my bitcoin to cash and only few items are priced with bitcoin and mostly are digital goods... You are lucky if you could maximize the use of your bitcoin...
I don't what he is saying is true, as everyone is complaining that they cannot use bitcoins directly and I don't think that there are many countries where bitcoin is accepted so easily.
It is indeed true and that is very disappointing. But it also doesn't have a bad impact on our lives, because we can still Exchange bitcoin into fiat. For now I prefer to invest in the bitcoin: for this I guess more profitable
