>it is not difficult to find places to spend either of those currencies

There are literally no services I use or products I buy that take bitcoin.

From weekly groceries to my car insurance or, well, anything... none take bitcoin. The overlap between businesses that accept bitcoin and the things 99.9999% of people need to live their lives on a daily basis would not be distinguishable to the human eye on a venn diagram.

You appear to be arguing that a payment method is completely devoid of utility of any kind unless it works on absolute necessities for you and/or the lowest common denominator?

I don't think that is a useful definition of utility.
