Bitcoin Forum

Since the cryptocurrency market has been expanded tremendously, there are lots of people who have the cryptocurrency.
But, we do not really concern about how we use the cryptocurrency except investing. Do have any experience using cryptocurrency except investing? Please share :)

Is still early, since now is all the hype and people are not concerned about investing, is just early to get into that mode. When things will cool down, there will be so many companies that will offer such services

What about mcdonald, Thailand's mcdonald already accepted omg to be the payment. I've experience buy some vps use the crypto currency but looks the crypto still not familiar. A lot of the project still under the development progress. And A lot of my experience to buy everything related to the bitcoin usage.

Though altcoins are being created with different purposes and specialties, after the its ICO ends and the coin is out in the exchange, people are only generally interested in its trading potential. Even bitcoin is rarely used in every day purposes compared to it being used in trading. I think it would still take years for cryptocurrencies to be accepted and used for everyday purposes

Daily use need more adoption. Projects like TenX are working on it.

If all countries legalize virtual currency will have great potential in the field of online trading, but it is still early for that
The lack of understanding in the world of crypto affects trust
For now people only invest because they know in the future bitcoin prices will be expensive
And not a few people use bitcoin as payment for selling goods with a belief system

Projects related to blockchain technology and coins have started already. I think we will start to use cryptocurrencies and tokens actively in a few years. But I think it won't be very easy.

nothing !

some projects pretend to be "used" as a currency and hype it that you can buy "stuff" with their altcoin but in reality nobody wants to use them in that way. people barely even use bitcoin which is the biggest one and thousands of shops are accepting it!

i also should add that with "Atomic Swap" which coins like Litecoin have, you will be able to use Litecoin for example in place of bitcoin. so anything you can buy with bitcoin you will be able to buy with litecoin too.

I know that you can trade with cryptocurrency. Especially when it becomes more popular, many brokerages offer bitcoin and altcoin (like litecoin) for trading.

Obviously you can buy money with your altcoin, with money you can buy .....  ;D

OMG for McDonald? Wow that's awesome! I want to try one time!

I often make a purchase with altcoins. I buy their bitcoins :D In fact, many organizations will accept litecoin, Ethereum, DASH but these companies are giants of the market so in everyday life we do not often use altcoins.

there are some coins that can be used as a method of payment on their markets, i know of Signatum that offers that.

If you are talking about "money" turn it usd and use everywhere. But as coins, the space that we can use our coins in is limited. The ecosystem was already born

That so true. still early. But someday, using tokens or coins on their platform itself such as steemit, will accelerate the ecosystem of the platform.

I've bought the stuff I like, but the result of the exchange of bitcoin to my country's currency.

TENX and Monaco are both developing a debit/credit card that will automatically convert your alt and btc into cash so you can withdrawal at banks and buy your McDonalds or what have you. Only a matter of time until they get approvals and ship cards. Not entirely sure what alt can be converted, but at least the more popular coins can.

My thothgs it still eraly to buy something for altcoins, you just can trade with it. I think it need not less than five years that people have accepted this currency, most part of them just don't know nothing about it.

Get bitcoin with altcoin. You can do it for trade and investment.

Also nothing in our country. So only Bitcoin, other altcoins and money. But there are services, that sell gift cards for altcoins.

At the moment very little, but it is progressing and eventually there will be debit cards that allow you to spend crypto directly. Many projects have coins that will allow you to spend to use their service.

in my county u cant buy anything with ALTCOIN. only your buy BITCOIN or doing Trading ;D ;D ;D

the use of a token / coin depending on their respective projects, there is a function to buy tickets, buy game skins. i use skincoin to buy karambit for my cs account.

In the past i have bought goods with bitcoin, but not directly.
Places where we can spend our currency is limited at the moment
But i believe it will get better as the demand rises.

And in order for the demand to rise we need to show that we want
To purchase with bitcoin or whatever.

I am currently in the market for a new mobile phone and i want
To use bitcoin or litecoin, i think my only choice is 'overstocked' ?

Yes, in my country there's a big net of Pizza cafes called 'Chelentano' which stated that they'll accept Dash as a payment soon. I also saw recently in the news that one of the universities in Switzerland accepts bitcoin as a payment for studying there. What's more, people can buy some goods in games they play with coins made specifically for that (like Enjin and Burst) but I don't think it counts as real goods bought.
Yet surely mostly currencies are just kept as investment and are not meant to serve as means of payment.

Well, Alt ultimate purpose for now, is by means of investing, even we do have bitcoin, people don't often use it for buying things because as we all know that cryptocurrency usually goes up so people just wait for the right time before they can withdraw there funds.

We are right at the beginning of the CRYPTO wave. That what makes this all so exciting. No one really knows right now where it will go. It will be big however. I am certain of this.

That's just a matter of time. Soon there will be a lot of goods and services available for purchase in cryptocurrency. Even though it's still not common but we can already pay with cryptocurrency in some restaurants, hotels, for freelance services, apartment rent and so on.
