Title: Is there anything non-illegal exclusive to bitcoin?
Post by: ravadava on March 17, 2016, 05:09:19 PM
I was looking for something to spend btc on that isn't illegal that would make using bitcoin worth it, like are there "extra content if you use bitcoin" subscriptions or anything cool like that?

Some merchants would give you small discount when paying with bitcoins (or more loyalty points etc), mostly applies to gift cards purchases, but recently JM Bullion (precious metals dealer) started accepting BTC, you can get bigger discount (4% iirc) as compared to credit cards or paypal payments.

You can nearly buy anything with bitcoins that you can expect with the Fiat.Do you have anything specific in your mind to buy ? I can lead you in the right direction then.No sure if they're subscriptions like special offers on usage of bitcoin.It's relative to the item you wish to purchase again.Have a look through this article ,maybe it will help

I don't think so, but with Purse.io you can have really good discount, I read somewhere. :)

well OpenBazaar will only use bitcoin as a method of payment. still not ready though. when it's ready to be used it should be huge.

You can buy stuff without having to provide sensitive information and usually it will be cheaper with bitcoins.

You can buy almost anything with bitcoin but to get something extra over fiat I don't think we have reached that level yet.  It would be cool if one day when you purchase a game or a movie using bitcoin it would open up some hidden extras but that is way off and probably something that will never happen.

I'd say remittances to places like the Philippines. People used to have to do it with Western Union which I think charges at least $25 per transaction. Sending by bitcoin is way cheaper - and if you have to do remittances monthly or weekly, at the end of the year, the saving on fees is a substantial sum of money.

Yes and Provident Metals gives the same or a similar discount and I've used them in the past.   But yeah I would think the advantage is mostly in dark market goods.  And altcoins.

That is open for debate, in some countries porn is illegal too --> See this link for more detail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Internet_pornography .... To address the OP's question is difficult,

because we do not know what is illegal and what is not in his country. As a example : Absinthe .... A alcoholic beverage is legal in some countries and banned in other... well as a matter of fact, alcohol is

banned in it's entirety in some countries. So yea, difficult question to answer.

I purchased a 3D printed part off eBay, a few weeks later the seller came out with an improved version and sold it for btc to previous customers at a reduced price.  You'll find btc only deals like that all the time.


Title: Re: Is there anything non-illegal exclusive to bitcoin?

I was wondering that too. If there are some better deals if I would be using bitcoin to buy stuff or something like that. It is really hard to find such opportunities.
Usually it is shop which accepts FIAT and bitcoin, and did not offer special treatment for bitcoin users normally. But you can hit occasional sale sometime.
There is service called Purse.io where you can buy everything Amazon offers for bitcoin with 15%-30% discount.

All those "services" are is someone with a Prime account buying from Amazon and reselling to you, acting as a middle man.  Often they simply place the order at Amazon and have it shipped to you.

Also, Overstock accepts BTC if you are doing internet shopping in the USA.

Usually if you're buying an expensive digital good with bitcoin, no ID is needed, unlike PayPal. That's what I like. You usually have to wait multiple days for ID information.

I think he's only looking for merchants that offer discounts for BTC payments. Not sure whether someone put together such directory, it could be useful.

@OP, just say what kind of things are you looking to buy and your location and I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction.

You can buy Trezor hardware wallet and some ASIC miner units with Bitcoin only, fiat not accepted. So yes, there are legal products you can buy with Bitcoins only. For non-Bitcoin related stuff this cant work so well though.

You can spend your Bitcoin at Microsoft store. As far as I know, you can't find anything illegal in their store. But I'm not sure if there is any website that will give you anything cool if you spend Bitcoin on their website, though.

Depends on how much coins you have.You can buy from needle to house anything with bitcoin.Bitcoin is great convenience and that itself makes using it worth it even if you dont get discount

I recently found one online store that does this, I ordered some guarana through azarius.nl and saw that they give a discount if you pay with Bitcoin.
First time I saw something like that :)

And to answer OP, I wonder if those typical crypto dice gambling sites are exclusive to bitcoin, I'd never seen something like it on any traditional gambling website.

non-illegal? I think there are many legal activities related to bitcoin but not exclusive, you can probably buy almost everything you can buy with dollars with bitcoin, except maybe altcoins..


Title: Re: Is there anything non-illegal exclusive to bitcoin?

are there any illegal or legal things exclusive for fiat as well? probably not since you can almost buy any service directly or indirectly for bitcoin.

I don't think there is. It doesn't make sense why any merchant would want to offer bonuses at their expense if you use Bitcoin instead of Dollars. Sure you might find a few diehard Bitcoin fans willing to cut their own profits just to promote Bitcoin but that's going to be rare.
I've come across a few sites selling electronics and such that only accept BTC but the prices were ridiculously high compared to regular stores.

They save on transaction fee while receiving payment with bitcoin,they can pass on this benefit to customers.There are many advantages to using bitcoin for both customers and merchants as well

Wrong. As mentioned above, there are merchants offering discounts when you pay with bitcoins. And it makes sense, credit card/PayPal payments are more expensive for merchants as they pay fees on them. There's also risk of chargeback, virtually non existent with BTC payments.

The charge back is the worst thing that can happen in credit card and paypal, some abused this when they pay paypal.

It's true they may save a bit but probably not as much as you might think. How many merchants do you know that accept Bitcoin directly, I don't think I've ever come across one, they all use some third party processor like Bitpay and I doubt Bitpay offers its service for free.
Having said that I would be genuinely curious to have a look at stores that offer bonuses for using Bitcoin.

Even 1% discount could be worthwile for regular purchases or one-time high value ones (ie gold bar). Afaik BitPay didn't charge any fees initially, but introduced some small fees quite recently, still much lower than cc/PayPal.

It would be great if someone could compile and maintain such list (showing benefits comparing to fiat payments etc).

How do you get your BTC?
Unless you're a factory mine, you *buy* it before you can use it. Which means fees/premiums/your time. Way in excess of that 1% :(

There are plenty of other ways to get BTC. You could sell stuff/provide services and take bitcoins, altcoin trading, investing, gambling etc. You could also find someone who is willing to sell at market price outside of exchanges.

Usual exchange fee for buying is around 0.2%, so much less than 1%. Fiat transfer fees are the issue, but are less significant if you trade larger amounts.

So you're saying that to get Mom interested in the 1% discount she could get in the 1% of the stores by using BTC, I should tell her to
1. sell something for BTC
2. trade altcoins (hard to understand where/how Mom got her altcoins, so I won't ask)
3. investing (just get some BTC by investing, Ma, I have no idea what that means but it's super easy)
4. gambling (Mom, just get BTC is by gambling, what can possibly go wrong?)
5. find someone selling off-exchange @ market (i.e. find a criminal or idiot)

Overlooking the fact that she'd need to have BTC for everything other than (1), and that the intrepid financiers engaging in (2) through (5) end up in the gutter, crying hot salty tears, and also assuming Mom is not batshit crazy... do you honestly think she'd do any of the above for 1% savings (not from the stores she normally shops, but some obscure merchant she never heard of, the one that accepts BTC)?

Nope. I just stated few quick examples of how you can get bitcoins without buying them on exchange site (personally I bought total of ~0.02 and hold/spent/lost bit more than that) . If your mom can't find a way to earn it and buying is not worth the discount she could get - tell her to stick to fiat. Problem solved.

Mom already uses fiat grownup money, so no problems to solve. That's the point -- Bitcoin, while creating shitloads of problems, solves none.

This items are indeed legal. As legal as buying almost anything different. But i am fully aware there are plenty of things that are illegal which you can pay with bitcoin.
But that also applies for paypal.

It does solve some problems and can be pretty useful, but that's not a topic of this thread. If you/your mom don't see any  benefits, simply stay out. I don't have any interest in forcing/convincing anyone to use (or "invest" in) Bitcoin. That's one of my favourite bitcoin's features, it's completely optional to use.

All correct. What does it prove again?

Care to answer the part regarding yourself? Why are you here. Nothing better to do?

Myself? Well, made some money selling BTC to clueless rubes finance revolutionaries like yourself, so I guess that makes me a criminal. If not in the legal, then certainly in the moral sense.

As far as having nothing better to do? Meh. I'm atoning for my past sins, Friend. By educating your potential victims.
And having a chuckle or two in the process, won't lie.

only place that comes to my mind is gyft.com, you get 3% cashback in points whenever you buy a gift card from them. but i guess you would get that if you pay with paypal too, so technically its not exclusive to bitcoin :P.

Judging by the mentioned sums, you sig & inept attempts at lying, "a brokeass degenerate gambler" would be a safe bet :)

When I ask one of my friends   on  what does he know about bitcoins he said , it is the  money  of the hackers. That is one of the reasons why  they didn't want to  use bitcoins. Lets face the fact  internet itself can be use on good things or bad  but the thing is   we are the brain of computer,internet or even the bitcoin , bitcoin itself cannot make  good things or bad  actually if we think what is the purpose of bitcoins ,we will know that  s vision is to provide us an easier way to store and earn money while were in home or anywhere . Bitcoin        goal is good   only the people who use it  can make a decision if  they use it on good things or bad.

The only thing that come to my mind is OpenBazaar. Maybe some discounts in some shops, but I wouldn't count on that too much.

we can buy any thing using bitcoins same as we can buy it with flat currency. but I depend on the personality. if some one wants to buy illegal stuff with bitcoin he can but the important thing is that he must have resources to reach to these kind of stuff. therefore he must be a well experience in his game and that is what he can do with flat currency.

Probably promotional rewards when purchasing using BTC.

well OpenBazaar will only use bitcoin as a method of payment. still not ready though. when it's ready to be used it should be huge.

you can buy some stuffs using bitcoin legally in countries where bitcoin is accepted as legal money, but it will cost much in sending charge. so the best solution is openbazaar, agree. you can buy stuffs around the world. just wait for it.
