Many businesses accept Bitcoins as payment for physical things. The last Bitcoin meetup that I went to was at a bar/grill that accepts BTC as payment. Most of the attendees paid for their drinks with Bitcoin. You don't need to convert to cash in order to buy things with Bitcoin.

"Many businesses" is a very relative term. A more accurate term would be "almost no businesses."

"Many" as in? 0.0x%?

That bar/grill is a novelty -- and it probably only accepted BTC in the first place because there was a BTC EVENT held at it.
