It's tough to use Bitcoin seriously on a day to day basis when the value fluctuates so much. Yes, there are security advantages and there's less transactional friction. But that friction has a value, and it's way overshadowed by the volatility of the currency (today).

This is why many merchants opt to immediately convert to fiat. Bitpay does this.
