I won't be using bitcoin until I can walk down the street and use it to pay for a cup of coffee. Electronic goods and programs are luxuries. Food it not. I can't eat a bitcoin, and I can't trust it to be accepted by grocery stores. I can trust a dollar to be accepted by a store, and worst case scenario, I can use the dollar as a mildly expensive wallpaper.
