There's already an entire industry growing up around enabling cryptocurrencies to be spent using traditional payment rails too, though, for those who don't want to see their governments print away the value of their money.
Coinbase itself has a debit card that deducts directly from your crypto balance and allows you to swipe the card anywhere that normally takes Visa. They're even a card issuer for Visa in their own right, so they don't have to do it through partner banks.[0]
Spending crypto is easy, whether the vendor opts into using it or not, so if you do get paid in it, it's easy to use.
I think we must be talking past each other or something. The purchasing power of every single fiat currency has trended down since the elimination of hard money standards, so as far as I can tell, every single government is printing away the value of its money.
I don't see how that's "failing to do so" if "so" refers to "printing away the value of their money"?
