I mean i have been using bitcoin for the past 6 years to send money to people outside the country with little issue.

I know it’s hard to imagine for the west but places exist where working around the local financial system is a huge benefit.

And lots of people pay for lots of things with bitcoin, today. It works fine, even if the confirmation takes 15-20 minutes and it costs five bucks. For some things where you prefer discretion, it's fine.

For privacy, just use a coinjoining wallet. It's a solved problem for a long time.

Commenters here are sour over bitcoin, for a variety of reasons, and ignorant at the same time.

In your opinion is it possible for someone to be sour on cryptocurrency without being ignorant about how it works?
