How can I use it to buy a car? Or a house? Or pay my kids tuition? Or get gas? Or groceries?
The currency is only a few years old.
It's gaining traction.
Some subway stores accept bitcoin, people have been starting to buy property with bitcoin.
There was a guy in Calgary that was accepting bitcoin to buy his house.
shopify.com is accepting bitcoin, they're sorta like amazon.
So ya, the market is working hard to spread the uses. give it a few years.
