>Bitcoin's utility is being a global currency.

But it's hard to get and hard to use. It's useful for a pseudo-anonymous transfer for value.

Unless I'm doing something illegal, Visa is a better option.

That's very true, Bitcoin doesn't solve many problems for people with access to credit banking. However, billions of people don't have access to Visa or a bank account. They only need a phone to send payments internationally.
Those people don't have access to bitcoin either.
I use both. I use also MasterCard. And dollars and pesos and euros.

There's always one situation where one currency is more convenient than the others.

Is this attitude a remnant of the religious wars in Europe?

There can be only one?
