You are so wrong ( or at least so 2015 ) . Its a bit arrogant to assume your personal experience is the only one that is significant . Maybe you need to learn to use google . It is easier in other parts of the world than Australia, but even here there are plenty of services that allow you to pay for virtually anything using your Bitcoins ( and even some alt coins ) directly or indirectly ( with more to come e.g https://www.tenx.tech/ ) .

My brother had a barter card. His experience was that was pretty much the same as what you claim for bitcoin . Maybe there is more upside to CC than you seem to know about ?
