In switzerland both our national amazon alternative (relatively huge) and main food delivery network accept bitcoin and several other crypto currencies. Including weird stuff like Tron and Monero.
I spend more in crypto some months than other currencies.

Dogecoin is designed to have massive amounts of inflation and would never be seriously considered.
Bitcoin is being used for normal things. Want to buy a Tesla?
The worst financial hiccups happen in areas without regulation. There were no rules on selling subprime mortgages or shorting more stock than exists, but unlike in the cryptoverse if something blows up it can be patched with legislation and restitution to victims. If your crypto gets stolen or a coin gets pumped and dumped, there is no recourse. With no connection to the real world comes no trust and no mercy.
