It doesn't solve it at all, I am talking about real money you can spend in a store, not tokens that need to be converted through an exchange into cash each time.

The reason why you can't spend it at the store is because the store doesn't accept it. The reason why the store doesn't accept it is because of the aforementioned scaling and complexity issues.
