the big problem with using bitcoins for real life transactions is it takes ~10 minutes to confirm the transaction. this makes it useless for buying a lot of things like fast food, stuff from the store, etc. you would need to layer a trusted third party like a credit card on top of bitcoin to use it for normal transactions.
