I can walk into a currency exchange store and get any currency I want within minutes, Rubles or Kroner or whatever. I can go to a bank and get money in several currencies.

I cannot do this with Bitcoin. It is a lot harder.

It'll always be harder. I can walk into an exchange place with cash, walk out with cash. I do not need identification, I do not need a computer, an account, anything other than cash in hand.

Unless you can convert Bitcoin into a physical item, it will always be harder.
