In the terms that you speak you Cant pay bills with gold or buy coffee with gold either. But in truth there are many coffee shops and retail shops right now that accept Bitcoin as payment. Additionally it being 10 years old is a good thing not a bad thing. It is still WAY early and is being adopted more and more as a way to bank the unbanked and have a store of value. The bottom line is there is not an asset on earth that has outperformed Bitcoin in the past 10 years. It will continue to grow even with some dips along the way.
