Kids can't use credit cards online, but they can use Bitcoins.

Third world folks with cellphones can't use credit cards (and likely don't have banks)... but they can use Bitcoins.

The uncredited can't use credit cards... you know the drill.

In some countries you can get prepaid credit cards to cover #1 and #3, though the additional fees probably make it costlier than by using Bitcoin.
