Well, come here to czech republic and you'd be able to buy most things without converting the crypto.
Heck, you might be able to even pay rent to me (Hive account@joewantsfreedom) in few months in Crypto. And it's surely way cheaper than US. There are many expats here already, too.
In worst case, you could even withdraw the local cash through crypto ATMs.

Though having a BTC debit card is quite all right solution right now.
