I can't walk into a store and pay with USD either. It doesn't mean USD is not a currency, it's just not usually accepted by stores in my country.

I use Monero semi-regularly to pay for things online (usually privacy products, because sadly nobody is interested in selling me groceries in exchange for xmr). You can absolutely buy things with it.

You can pay for things online with V Bucks as regularly as you like that doesn't make it a real currency.

Could you offer examples? Straight-up curious.

Njalla (domain names, VPSes, VPN), and Mullvad (VPN) both accept Monero.
