You can also live without USD. Come to Europe and pay with EUR.
I think that your question is not well thought.

What do you mean real value? Like the price they are worth or what we pay for them, or their actual usefullness? I think the real fiat value has yet to be determined and will take some time to arrive at that point, but as for bitcoins true value it has many uses by many industries such as the remittance market and just saving businesses money on credit card fees. |

Bitcoin is pretty easy to use and blockchain.info isn't much different than using PayPal. |

Real value of anything is defined by users, in free market. If high demand, value is high. If demand is low, value is low. Bitcoin is not the most important thing in life and we all have life outside of bitcoin world. I hope this answer your second question  |

Without a BMW, I can't be like the cool kids. |

Streets are not a good thing. Criminals can use them to escape from a crime scene. |

If we want more and more guys to use crypto currencies, they must have some useful and special features which are able to replace the current solutions and do better, rational guys will always choose best solutions to meet their needs.

Blockchain is not similar to PayPal as in the case of PayPal, the transction can anytime be reversed if 60 days have not passed for the particular transaction but reversal is not in the case of blockchain. Once confirmed, the transaction is completed. |

You're not making much sense. Cash is anonymous and can be used by drug dealers too. And who says the gov don't like bitcoin? anonymity is not a good thing, it can be used by anonymity/drug dealers etc, this is one important reason that government don't like bitcoin.
Streets are not a good thing. Criminals can use them to escape from a crime scene. Exactly. I can buy drugs on the street with cash too. The only useful case is the remittance market because it's cheap, many features of bitcoin 2.0 are very cool, but it seems it's useless, it can't replace the current solutions.
How is it useless? It has countless uses and you've just named one big one in that sentence. |

Just a reminder, the current version of Bitcoin is 0.10.0. We still haven't got to 1.0 yet, and it will be years before version 2.0. |
