I&#x27;m sorry, but you&#x27;re looking at Bitcoin from a narrow viewpoint. There are in fact people who actually need Bitcoin in their day-to-day.<p>My home country Tunisia for example has very strict currency controls in place, which means that it is <i>impossible</i> to purchase any goods from outside the country or even transfer money overseas.<p>The government now provides rechargeable card with a 1000 TND (~500 USD) limit that can be used for online purchases. However, these are only issued to software developers and entrepreneurs to allow them to subscribe to online services, such as hosting, domain names, etc.<p>Bitcoin provides a quick and easy way to circumvent that: convert your TND to BTC, and use that to purchase online goods or to transfer money outside the country.<p>I&#x27;m actually thinking of setting up a MVP to test out this idea, but I&#x27;m struggling to come up with a solution that is completely transparent for the end-user. In other words, I don&#x27;t want the user to have to <i>understand</i> Bitcoin or buy&#x2F;sell it manually. I&#x27;d prefer instead for the system to use BTC under the hood.<p>Another example I read about recently is Argentina. People are using Bitcoin there for daily transactions and for their savings due to high fluctuations in the local currency.
