Your situation will predicate your use case for Bitcoin.

- If you have $USD as your currency your need for store of value is less than if you were in a country with a weaker currency.

- If you have a bank account then you don't need $BTC to keep your money safe and not hidden in your house as cash or converted to physical goods to barter with later.

- If you have family in the same country as you don't need $BTC to transfer across borders.

- If you want to stay in your country and are not worried about fleeing or having your wealth confiscated then you don't need $BTC to avoid confiscation.

- If you don't have to worry about political or religious persecution for how you use your money then you don't need $BTC to provide anonymity.

- If you live in a safe, democratic society with strong property rights and rule of law then $BTC might just seem to be a store of value but this is why it is our responsibility to keep pushing forward. Incorporating $BTC into the U.S. financial system is a trojan horse attack. I wish that more of the "least of these" would have had found $BTC before this point to benefit from the NGU but it doesn't change the fact that at its core it is decentralized P2P money. There is an incentive for businesses to begin to accept $BTC payments. Businesses don't want to absorb the credit card fees but if they don't then they lose convenience for their customers. $BTC saves businesses money. That alone will be enough to get them to accept $BTC payments. Once they do that I wouldn't be surprised to see a discount for "Cash and $BTC" payments versus credit card. Don't be discouraged, living in the U.S. is a sedative for being able to truly see what Bitcoin is to most the world.
