It does plenty already. I live almost exclusively on Bitcoin. I only get income in Bitcoin, I pay with Bitcoin whenever possible, and I have a Bitcoin-funded debit card for when that's not possible.

Why? At the moment this seems like hassle, and possibly more expensive due to txn fees.

I do understand... maybe I wasn't clear enough: it will do more in the future! but it's not Facebook scale yet. Coinbase has 10M users, not 100M, not 1B.

I do bet on BTC to change the world... so I pay in BTC when I can too!

Does the company that you work for receive their income in Bitcoin too?

I work for myself. My customers pay in Bitcoin.
