There's so much regulation on it, it's a bitch to buy and sell. I could either send my picture ID around and wait several weeks until I'm allowed to purchase a limited ammount, or try to do something tricky through localbitcoins (which is the perfect honeypot). The government found a way to make it so painful no one but investors and drug dealers actually want to use it.
You’re a fucking retard. Just download a fucking wallet and sell something, get bitcoin. Dumb fuck. Use a decentralized P2P exchange like bisq. I hate you and every dumb fuck like you.
What am I supposed to sell exactly? You can sell drugs through DNMs, mine altcoins (but ASICs have taken those over too), go onto LocalBitcoins and try to find someone to trade cash to (or maybe sell physical goods, but most offers on there are for cash or gift cards).
I hate you and every dumb fuck like you.
... you've never actually tried buying bitcoin, have you?
If you want to buy through exchanges like CoinBase in the US, you need to send them a picture ID and have it associated with a bank account. You can't just buy bitcoin with a credit card in most places.
That's if something fucky doesn't happen on the exchange itself. There's way too many horror stories about people not getting their cash out or being able to transfer coins to a private wallet. I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has with all the hacks, collapses, and freezes on accounts.

Having to wait twenty-four hours or more for a transaction to go through with a steep fee isn't anything that can be considered usable.

Bitcoin has been subverted. Bitcoin Cash, Dash and Monero are better money alternatives.

Yes it is. It has multiple clients made by different teams (BU and ABC primarily) which is actually still quite rare in the crypto world.
