Talk about Bitcoin with any newbie, most of the time they will ask you this: what can I actually buy with Bitcoin?
And the answer for now is: very few things, unless you are in a country such as Japan. .. so for me this is the major issue with crypto currencies (in general) nowadays. Very few adoption for using it in daily life. But we will get there.
In Shoreditch , in London you can pay for your coffee and beer in quite some pubs with Bitcoin. Also you can buy BMW with Bitcoin and so on. Also in Canada you can buy jewelry and diamond with Bitcoin and so on. Obviously we need more adoption and more wide usage and this is especially true for other altcoins and new ecosystems such as Ethereum Classic and Yggdrash and so on.

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.
