> People dont have to talk about them as currencies because they just work Well that's not really true, it was headline news when Tesla started accepting crypto payments (and then headline news when they stopped). Stores accepting crypto still makes the news, it's not common and not something that "just works." But what you can do is at least semi-reliably convert between crypto & things that stores do accept using the various conversions you listed. But you still do have to convert from crypto to a traditional currency to use it as a currency.
