You have to hold it in an exchange. Massive risk of losing it. There are protections for other forms of payment.
Pay it off monthly and have 5 fraud incidents roughly and never lost a dime or paid interest on credit cards. Get paid in points as well, tax free. Depending on the year about $8-15k. Saving $2k on flights in roughly 10 days to NOLA for a family of 5. $55 which everyone pays anyway.
I never got why anyone thought it would be a currency as far as crypto. People have made good money and I don't begrudge that really, though I think it's stupid. I'm a buy the average SUV guy and not Ferrari. I don't mind if I grow wealth slowly and with a Ferrari there's a chance you'll wreak it, as in lose a lot of money in crypto.

OTOH I have never seen anyone use gold or silver as a currency either.
Bitcoin was about $300-400 in circa 2014.
It will go to zero eventually, but what an enormous BUBBLE.
