I don’t own any Bitcoins and I never have, but if I did, I could at least buy some goods with them. Not most of those, but I have in fact seen real life stores that accept Bitcoin as currency.

I have as well, but not many. Certainly not enough to call it a "hard currency" (of which the entire point is that it's widely, almost universally, accepted).

bitrefill.com is a decent start to bridge that gap.
