Respect your thoughts in the space and would love to hear you opine on what seems to be a continuous debate on irrelevant points.

Well, currently you can use a BitPay or some other form of payment processor that lets you spend BTC, uses a PoS terminal to convert to USD, and output to receiver as USD. You hold BTC and spend BTC the whole time, but the other side accepts fiat. Not perfect, but not terrible.

Those are fragile trusted third parties, not things we can reliably expect to be around in bad legal or political environments.

Yep - not perfect. But for now, it is what is offered. The whole taxable event dilemma also throws a wrench in the mix (if you're in the US). Too many hoops to jump through currently. The space is young - it will evolve as it sees fit. Natural order of things.
