I second Ace7550's opinion: this is already happening. For the last year plus, I've paid for everything in my life with bitcoin: from rent, to bars and restaurants, to clothes (business and casual) to bills to travel. Literally everything.
I just use a debit card, which anybody can get for ten bucks at Bitpay.com. Then you can transfer BTC into dollars onto your card in literally a couple of minutes, from any phone. You can use the card everywhere V I S A is accepted -- so basically everywhere -- or, if you prefer, withdraw the money in dollars from any ATM.
The tech already exists, we just need to get the word out to more good folks like yourself!
