The one good thing about the falling bitcoin price is that it will encourage people to spend it. Previously when people were watching the price rocket upwards in a seemingly one way trend it was silly to spend bitcoins unless you absolutely had to.
As for spending bitcoins 'most everywhere', bitcoins represent 0% of my yearly discretionary spending. The local supermarkets, hardware stores, computer stores, sports stores, etc do not take bitcoin and it's not possible to buy gift cards using bitcoins for those stores either. Most people live outside the USA.
Many businesses support Bitcoin payments, They pricing are based on Bitcoin price instead of Bitcoin.

Don't be silly. Most places DON'T accept bitcoin. OP is assuming everyone here on the forum lives in the U.S. In other parts of the world, things you can buy with bitcoin is still very limited. Does your local supermarket accepts bitcoin?
Exactly right.
Being most people's basic expenses are shelter, fuel, and food - who's landlord or mortgagee accepts bitcoin?
Can you buy gasoline with bitcoin yet? Don't think so.
Interesting that you mention gasoline. I have on many occasions touted gasoline as the ULTIMATE use case for bitcoin.
Typically, store owners pay huge fees on those transactions. Like, their fees can easily equal their profit margins. Bitcoin could, theoretically, dominate gasoline purchases because of the FAR lower transaction costs.

For meantime still being few companies that accept BTC as a part of payment, will be difficult to ask people the conversion because the one who didn't do say the main problem is shops don't get the coin. But if you're consider yourself a Bitcoin supporter, excuses no more. Lead by doing it.
Each to their own... I guess

To complain about the price and not be moving your spending to bitcoin simply means you have bought into something that you yourself do not understand or support.
