Title: What Product/Service Do You Want To See Available with Bitcoin?
Post by: Writer on December 09, 2012, 03:40:49 PM
Good Morning Everyone!

There are a lot of products and services already available with bitcoin, but I'm not sure how widespread the market is. Being a service provider, I wonder if there is anything you wish you could purchase that you can't. Also, are there any ideas of products or services you think OTHERS would find valuable?

I want to provide service and value. Although I write, input from or about any field is appreciated.

Bitcoin was born as an online currency and it's initial niche market will be online transactions. This is most likely where it will thrive for a few years. There's no doubt that you can find a lot of offline businesses that will successfully accept bitcoins, but the greatest market for bitcoin will be online services.

In the next few years, I would like to be able to pay with bitcoins for any online service where I'm currently paying by credit card.

- Online store purchases (Amazone, Ebay ...)
- Digital good purchases (music, video)
- Online donations
- Game subscriptions
- Web hosting, VPS,

There is already a lot of choice for such services in Bitcoin. However, I would like for these markets to mature and the choices to increase.

Another great use for bitcoin, where it will most likely strive, is for international money transactions. Bitcoin will be in direct competition with international money transfer businesses like Western Union. Bitcoin is like VoIP in this regard. You need two local exchange points to make local transactions in local currency in two different countries. And the international wire is practically handled for free in Bitcoin ( no international taxes, custom fees and other hidden fees ).

Let's see what the markets will bring us !

The most important thing for me right now is a service which allows you to buy and sell bitcoins globally in real time and with all the payment methods possible without the fear of getting scammed.

I would like to see Amazon and eBay accept Bitcoin. I'd be buying a lot more stuff there.

For both companies it would be a huge benefit: Amazon would no longer suffer from chargebacks or fraudulent payments. And eBay could setup an escrow-alike payment system, where the buyer sends coins to eBay, seller gets confirmation from eBay that funds have been paid and he ships the goods (with track & trace), buyer confirms receiving them, and seller gets the coins (minus 0.3% eBay fee).

Also, I would certainly buy games, music and movies with BTC if they were available (and reasonably priced).

And I want Wikipedia to accept Bitcoin donations. Free information should be funded by free money (free as in speech, not as in beer).

I would like to see twisty puzzles (like the Rubik's Cube and stuff from http://twistypuzzles.com/shop/).

If this happened the price of bitcoin would absolutely explode!
