You can't pay your rent in yen either, but that doesn't make it a failed currency.

I'd be pretty surprised in you could even get that cup of coffee for yen.

But Bitcoin is supposed to be a currency without boarders. If it can't make it in a country with the level of tech-adoption like the USA for the above simple tasks, please help me understand the use case.
