Yes, unless you are able to take it as a payment method as an entrepreneur, there are people who get paid in Crypto (at an discount), it used to be easier to buy Bitcoin ironically.
"it used to be easier". When? I am quite new (January 2017)
Around 2015-2017 it was possible to buy Bitcoin directly from others using wire transfer without KYC on for example localbitcoins.com, it depends on where you live in the world.
