You're making the bold assumptions that landlords or grocery stores accept bitcoin in those countries.
Do they really? Or are you fantasizing a Cyberpunk future where they would?
Because fantasies are cheap, but food and shelter is not, and the ones who make the bread might be more into the cash in hand right now rather than waiting for your BTC transaction to clear.

The parent is clearly not making that statement.
Parent said ".. they will sell an amount of Bitcoin" which can be done either through exchanges or just as easily peer-to-peer through platforms like LocalBitcoin. If you have Bitcoin in a scenario like that, most definitely will not be a problem.
Pretty sure if you have your money tied into bitcoin, as the people above suggest as the killer use of BTC, then having your internet cut off easily becomes your biggest problem.
How else are you gonna spend your crypto to buy food or pay for shelter or pay for travel or smugglers to get you out of the country?
Crypto would be great if it could be used 100% offline, like tap your phones via NFC, and boom, coins transferred, here's your bread.
