I also use Bitcoin as a currency (via Coinbase). I love the reactions. It’s not commonly accepted in my area so I’m only using it for haircuts and holiday bonuses, but would gladly buy more with it. Excited about Etherium’s DApps but having trouble creating viable ones in my industry (insurance). BTC’s transaction cost is worrisome (who is spending $6 in transactions fees for small purchases). Monero has some serious advantages over BTC (privacy and transaction costs).

Encourage your current 'Bitcoin friendly vendors' to accept Lightning network payments. Your Bitcoin tx fees can then be fractions of cents.
