Bitcoin Forum

It was one on the issue Satoshi saw the world needed it. But as far now it mainly use is trading for speculation by the newbie and holding by one who bought it years ago.

Of course it needs to be legalised FIRST somewhere. But after that a, will you buy something online and pay in BTC ?
Or it’s just a form of investment like gold was a decade ago ?

Let’s make and example: say you buy some goods online paying CCs.
After some time, your local Gov say it’s not legal at all, and the vender who hasn’t change the CCs you gave him, ask to be paid again with some other form of payments because he can’t use them anymore.
What the hell you can yell - but because he knows who you are by your address, you are tracked and sooner or later you have to refund him.

yes sometimes I use bitcoin currency for online shopping that payments already using bitcoin facility, but I use bitcoin more often to trade, and it is true bitcoin owned by many people who bought it many years ago and invest it, and finally who invest bitcoin very satisfactory results.

Besides being an investment I also often use bitcoin to buy something with online like buying google play gift card and credit phone. It helps me easier to buy it. But i do not see yet big online shop accepting Bitcoin as their payment It will be good if they are.

Talking BTC is like gold investment in the last decade is absolutely not true, as we know, gold is physical such as banknotes, while the BTC is completely different. I'd love to future digital currency (BTC) became a popular online payment method such as Visa now, in some cases, it would be helpful if Visa out of money ;)

Yes, my wife and i sometimes we use bitcoin currency for online shopping that payments already accepting bitcoin. It is so easy and more convenient than with CC. I only have to bring my phone without getting cards. lol

In my country, there is no online shops or place that i usually go to buy things or buy services because i am more on like a simple lifestyle where i just spend money in clothes, gadget and other things and i can't see any place like online shops in my country that accept bitcoin so i don't use it as a money but as an investment as of now.

No, I use bitcoin as an investment for future. I can't pay online for services/goods in my country yet. I hope this will change as soon as possible, because the interest in btc rises up everyday. At the moment i can only trade a lot to increase my btc portfolio.

basically for me i used this as a payment online,
it's much more easy other that using Paypal and other stuff which is need a lot of time and effort to do it,
when i use something like this (paypal,okpay,etc) i need to find someone to fill it first afterwards spend it.
and it's reversible,in my country we need to find someone who has it and convert it to cash,
a lot of people get scammed in the process because it's reversible,
that is why i used Bitcoin for paying something,because it's very easy and i do not need to find someone to fill my order,
because we have a local exchanger.
and investment is my 2nd option for why i used this until now and for future.

I haven't used it as a payment method yet. I haven't seen it yet where i buy online, but even if i there was the option of BTC i wouldn't do it. I think that right now BTC has more value as an asset in trading or just investing rather than using it as a transaction coin.

This is the right way how the coin should be used. As a digital currency that will be accepted worldwide but most probably we haven't reached the phased of the coin where it will be applied as that. Most people are still seeing it as an asset like stocks that can be traded to others. Also not much of businesses are catering bitcoin yet. Maybe by the time that the coin is used as what it is meant for prices will be at 6 digit dollars.

I have a few times. Mostly I just hold though.

If you want to experience spending your Bitcoin into something worthwhile, I strongly recommend you buy a VPN service. Most of them have Bitcoin as an option for payment.

Right now it's hard to spend bitcoin online, at least for small payments. I think most of us know the story of the developer who bought two pizzas back in 2010 using 10k bitcoin. Seven years is not that long, and those 10k BTC are now worth around 20M dollars. We actually don't have to go back all those years to see that using bitcoin for small payments is not a good idea, and that's why BTC right now is being used as an investment, and it's better to hold it than it is to spend it.

Legalizing bitcoin won't really change this right now, since the price will continue to represent the supply/demand ratio, but maybe it will help in terms of adoption, because more people will know about BTC, and will also trust it. Only after mass adoption happens the price will stabilize and we will be able to use it for "normal shopping".
There is still a long way to go until we get there, so right now I will continue to hold, and only use it for a payment, either online or with a crypto card, when I have to, and probably only for big payments.

I personally rarely use online services to get things or anything, so I never use bitcoin for payment, but if I get the goods from online and then the seller receives bitcoin, then I will also use bitcoin as a means of payment, because transact using bitcoin very practical and fast.

I do not know the online stores in my country that would accept payment in bitcoins. It is very convenient for me to use a regular credit card or the usual electronic wallets. And my bitcoins are stored in a crypto wallet and slowly but surely grow, this option suits me more.

I seldom use BTC to make payment for online purchases. There are not many online shops accepting Bitcoin as a payment method yet. And it has to depend on the payment amount, it doesn’t make sense to pay for a small amount such as $10 purchase due to the transaction fees.

I have small amounts of bitcoin mostly for investment purpose because when I wanted to spend it online for buying something I have to pay too much fee on that

We are not there at the point where everything you want to get can be facilitated by bitcoin but is a gradual process after all, fiat didn't get there after 10 years. However, I have seen some services made available using bitcoin for example recharging your phone directly, card services which makes you buy anything so far there is Visa or MasterCard acceptance, and above all ability to convert into fiat easily which is what mattered to me from there, I can then get anything I want to get with less stress.

It seems to me that the inability to buy goods directly with bitcoin is the biggest problem which can lead to death of bitcoin. I haven't bought anything with bitcoins. Is it more profitable to transfer bitcoins into Fiat currency and make purchases anywhere. The cost of small transactions is too high to make purchases with bitcoin.

today i've made an order for some gardening stuff from a website, when i filled in my shipment information i've found out they are now, since a month, accepting bitcoin as payment without any fee and they also add a free shipment!
It was a nice and easy transaction, props to them to be pioneer in this amazing technology.

Yes, I'm using it everywhere it possible!

Yes i use it for purchases like overstock.com last week. I have bought steam points with it too. I think the more you use it the more it will be accepted. However its hard for me to spend cause Iim a long holder.

i will use it as posible as i can. but the problem of using bitcoin as payment is too lack of seller who accept bitcoin as a payment. i hope there will be more company and seller who accept bitcoin so cryprocurrency will be much more developed

Yes ,I usually used it for my cell phone load payment and other goods ,but I need to convert ths bitxoin into our local currency. Another is when I enroll into investments i used my bitcoin for payment for the plan that I buy.

In the last few days I used bitcoins to buy things online, for example several shirts, and a new cell phone because I needed it (since mine was too old haha). I think that most people use it to buy online since it is difficult to buy in physical stores since there are not many stores that accept bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, and it needs to be changed because bitcoin diserves to be accepted everywhere..

Yes, I will try to us as much as I can. But in my country there is not many place that I can use that for on line payment. So mostly i just hold it for the future investment.

I'm not sure about the direct acceptance of bitcoin in online as well physical stores. The market for bitcoin increasing slowly, so based on the fact I use bitcoin to fiat and then spend upon shopping as well online payment needs. In future this will change when online stores provide with a separate gateway for bitcoin payment.

yes , Iam use Bitcoin for purchase  T-shirt and kid toys.
Iam buy if Bitcoin price is hight.

Yes, i use bitcoins in paying online. Mostly I but prepaid loads and game credits. Sometimes items in an online shop or transfering money to my brother.

Well, there aren't many options in most countries regarding the payment of Bitcoins , where as digitized world do gives an opportunity to buy things in the form of international online means, but you can't buy anything from bitcoins from your locality as such.
There are countries where even after being legal still the trade in which bitcoins is used as a means of payment is limited to person to person , there isn't any companies or online sites accepting bitcoins so what most of you can do is to encash them and then use it in the form of your local currency.

i think we don't have to waiting to be legalised first to use bitcoin because we can now already use bitcoin for buying something online and in other country, we can buy directly in local store. personally i am using bitcoin to buy what i want by online because in here, there is not local store accepting bitcoin and i spend my btc to pay something like paye one services in online, buy tickets from local website and else. bitcoin is different than gold and gold have physical form while bitcoin don't have and people will prefer gold than bitcoin because they don't know anything about bitcoin.

I tried paying bitcoin in some sites but while comparing product in local market after converting same btc to local currency it was loss for me evendelivery time was huge so I end upto exchanging Butcoin to local currency bought product from local shopping cart. Currently buying product using bitcoin not worth.

I not having that much bitcoin where I can buy products on online by paying bitcoin as payment more. Currently I am holding bitcoin as a asset where each day price is increase and also I am investing some of my holding to altcoins because it’s right time to invest on altcoins.

I do use to pay for things like hosting and domains on namecheap. Also I use to pay for writing and development gigs to freelancers who accept in bitcoin.
But I do actually prefer not to use it if I can, because with its ever increase worth, its better to just hold on to it for now.

I haven't tried it yet but there are stores that are advertised giving information that they are on the process of accepting bitcoin as payment.
But I am not really into spending it online. Still there are trust issues that are needed to have more transparent informations and transactions.

I occasionnally use Bitcoin for paying online, but it is a rare thing. I was a bit suprised last week when i saw that one of the online shops in my country accepts BTC as a payment. We are slowly evolving, i guess.

yes i am using my bitcoin to purchase something online my prepaid load for my internet and load for my cellphone. I am also paying my utility bills and internet bills using bitcoin. I just want to have in my country is a local store or merchant that accept bitcoin as their payment

That's the main objective of using bitcoin digital currency is basically use as mode of payment online  anywhere the place available and accepted the BTC payment.

Nice complement.  I am really happy to hear this news. But I am not buying anything by paying bitcoin.
But u hear that, many of sites are taking payment by bitcoin. Its good for all crypto holder and who works for bitcoin  ;)

I think you can still use Bitcoin for online transactions. It is the same as the transactions using dollar and other currency. The key of doing transaction in the web is : Make sure your seller is legit and not scam. How to verify that person is a honest person ? You can ask through forum online and facebook groups. In my country, we have the most trusted online forum that can verify all people who do transactions online.


Same as me. I only use Bitcoin as an investment. But I do not invest in Alt because I do not really trust Alt. Maybe I only trust ETH for other crypto than BTC.

Satoshi did really create bitcoin solely for peer 2 peer transaction but besides on that purpose bitcoin can really be used on investment which all of us knows about that thing.It can really give the opportunity to make money on just simply on holding it.For now I don't actively spend it on online stuff since I do have target on accumulating bitcoins as much as I can.We do have all hopes on getting rich with bitcoin.

As a form of transactions yes bitcoin is good for any transaction, i can buy and sell bitcoin in my wallet. hope the whole world will use bitcoin so that it will less hassle for us and it should be legalize by the government.

in my country " Indonesian " not use payment using digital cryptocurrency , because government prohibited.
purchase transaction of goods online or offline must use rupiah currency.

Yes for practical and convenient reason as my wallet provider have tons of options to pay bills, bank to bank transactions/withdrawals, money remittances worldwide, government fees and many more.

I’m now stay at home and saving myself from hassle traffic and time consuming fall in line in counters and for security purposes. This is what bitcoin brings to everyone who believes in it, to trust bitcoin is like giving yourself a good and easy life.

No, and the only possible case where I can imagine doing so in the near future is buying VPS or VPN anonymously. Credit cards are much more convenient for online shopping. BTC transactions are very slow and the fees are high (or at least were before the Segwit). I think of BTC as an investment only, a kind of "digital gold".

Bitcoin is a virtual currency developed in 2009 by someone under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. This currency is like Dollar, but only available in the digital world. The concept may sound like eGold, though it is actually much different. and for now the possibility of BTC only makes for investment tools like gold, because as a means of payment it is still very difficult in the country where I live it because some companies have not made a payment through Bitcoin.

depending on the situation I am facing, I usually do it if it is really true. as a matter of fact I have a bit of an objection if I make payment using btc because I always keep my btc.

Some would actually take bitcoin as an opportunity for them to profit so most will invest in bitcoin but if there will be countries that will accept bitcoin and would use it to make payments then I would use it as a digital currency make payments out of it because it was its intention in the first place.

In my country we use a exchanges app to convert our bitcoin and buy some stuff online like prepaid load,paying bills and buy some store online that accept bitcoin as a payment. So I think your right they need to legalize the bitcoin in other country to use it as payment.

As per now no online site in my country accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment. So I cannot use bitcoins to buy things online .
Here bitcoins are not considered legal neither they are considered illegal , it's just that the majority doesn't know about it , miners are free to mine and the users use it , the government has nothing to do with crypto currencies here .
If any site or company starts accepting bitcoin I would surely prefer bitcoins over fiat to buy my products.
Now many people including me are using btc as a currency for payment in steam or refilling our steam wallet.

There is something that will halt me to use bitcoin and any other type of altcoins as currency. It is due to my government policy regarding cryptocurrency. They aren't allow the use of cryptocurrency as a payment method. And if I break it and got caught, I could be in trouble. Although there has been no concrete action from the government, but still, using bitcoin as a means of payment can cause problems later on. So I must try to avoid it.

as a note :
buying, selling and storing crypto currency are allowed.

Honestly no, I do not use bitcoin for online shopping. Yes, initially it was thought of as currency for payment, but I prefer to use it as an investment in long term. So I see a lot more prospects for increasing my capital. And then I'll use it in my purchases with pleasure. :)

Its something better than gold though I won't advice you buy in bitcoins because you'd start regretting soon after payment that you would have held the coins and it would have been worth much more. Its better you just leave it as a form of investment and then cash out on it once you're satisfied with the accrued profit. Else you can leave it and watch your investment grow.

You should know that bitcoin transactions are not completely anonymous. And why do you think that credit cards are more convenient for shopping than bitcoin? Transactions made through credit cards can be rejected anytime. You credit card information can be stolen without you noticing and others can easily spend your cash. Credit cards always links to you, so no anonymity for you. And sometimes some regions won't accept your card if you are from a different region. You need to fill too much information before you can transact using your card. Too much hassle compared to bitcoin in my opinion.

I think the only opportunity we have is to use bitcoin for online shopping, in fact in my area there is no such offline shop where we can use bitcoin for shopping and for any other purpose.

If you want to purchase things with bitcoin,the first thing you must do is to do a simple google search and you will get a list of sites and companies that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment,if you want to purchase amazon products then there is purse.io and newegg.com also accepts bitcoin and some of the major payment platforms like netellar accepts bitcoin through bitpay, so there are many options to buy things with bitcoin.

The things is, there are only a few merchants that accepts bitcoin.  I would choose using bitcoin than credit card if the option is available.

Aren't you afraid mate to lose the cost-opportunity ?
I mean when you bought the playgift card for example 2 months ago, now you can buy it one more withe the same amount of BTC !
That's something I never want to happen to me.
Of course when it's something small I can close an eye and nothing happens, but what if I want to buy something more expensive ? ???

It is true that it was created as a currency for online transactions but it really did not solve anything. For me it just paved the way for online drug dealings more easy for people who never want to be caught. But overall I don't see all online stores accepting Bitcoin. I mainly see Bitcoin as some sort of money making asset in which all people are trying to profit from it and some people don't even use it as a currency anymore because of its transaction fees.

Of course, sometimes I buy some electronics and others things and most of them I was paid with btc, also I playing online games, some of them accept bitcoins, for me its easiest payment system, just waiting that time when whole internet will accept bitcoins.

Yeah you are right that it needs to legal all over the world. But in this time there are many countries where bitcoin is not acceptable but i personally use Bitcoin in online purpose.

If you could, why not? It is easier and more secured with paying online using bitcoins because you can actually trace where you money goes, and the privacy of you doing it is absolutely there.

If it's online, there are already websites or shopping sites that accepts Bitcoin as a payment. The only issue is in regular stores or retailers. Since there are still countries where Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are not yet legal, it is becoming limited only for those who are in countries where it is legal, to be used as a normal currency. It can still be used in countries even if it is not yet legal but not directly, meaning, they will need to convert it first into fiat.

there are very few websites nowaday accept paying bitcoin, because bitcoin is less popular than paper money so websites dont want to use bitcoin because they think it is not worthy to waste money for digital currency.

I personally don’t think in that way.
If you want to do illegal thing you can still pay and be paid with cash, and mainly they still do it.
The real problem for other centralised circuit payment was their fee, just too high for retailers and for small amount.
So BTC can solve this problem.
And yet, it’s not totally anonimous so..

Yes! That’s the way it was first created. Paying online with small fee with no worries at all to be frauded

I used to use it to buy games from site like humblebundle but lately they don't accept bitcoin for the bundle they sold. Steam still accept bitcoin but it's a little bit expensive for me. The last time i use bitcoin to buy something is about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

You just gave me the idea for playing online using BTC. And yes if it get legalized then of course we'll use BTC for buying something online . But for now i am saving it for further use and waiting for it to rise more. :P

Yes i personally use it as my digital currency for paying online. I use it to send money to someone, to pay bills, and to buy something online. I prefered to use it because its fast and the process is very simple. It also amazing that you can buy something online without using the actual money.

I see bitcoin as an investment rather than to pay online

I do not think that people now often use bitcoin to make purchases. To do this, it is necessary to have an extensive infrastructure that allows such purchases. Now they are very few. Sometimes something can be ordered through the Internet, but this is not enough. Now bitcoin is most often used as a means of storing value. Some people use it for trading on the stock exchange.

So far i only use bitcoin to buy something online once,but that's because it's very hard to find the shop that accept bitcoin as payment option. Most of them only accept credit card or paypal so i can't use bitcoin there. Hope this will change in the following years with more adoption.

There is no enough infrastructure as well as options to use Bitcoin worldwide as a currency. Moreover, people never prefer Bitcoin as a currency but investment to grow their money. Replacing fiat in currency use is still not possible for cryptocurrencies because of added fees, less utility and transaction speed. And even people are not willing to use their BTC for everyday transactions.

Yes I am but it's still not popular in my country so I only use my Bitcoin to buy online games or some good from online store or shop that accept Bitcoin cause Bitcoin is not legalized in my country so it's not easy to use Bitcoin directly in here that why I often have to exchange my Bitcoin into cash to purchase or buy anything I need. The government in my country said that they will legalize Bitcoin in next 2 years but don't know how long it will take for this one.

So far no i do not use it for online payment. I only use bitcoin for trading tool.
I think i will use it for payment if i buy something online and the shop accept bitcoin as payment.

That is not the real reason for majority of the websites not accepting bitcoin at this moment,the price of bitcoin has a huge fluctuation and the price could go up and down in a single day and that it is a real risk for the portals or business to start accepting it,if we could see more front ends that could help them then they would accept that.

As of now I am using btc to pay bill, buy cellphone load(recharge in other countries ), and shop online. And for your information gold was used as a currency back in the olden days and not as an investment like it is today. If btc is legalized there is a chance that it will be regulated and the bad part is that they can put tax in it once legalized and that is not a good thing so I would rather have bitcoin as it is.

I mainly hold my Bitcoin in my wallet rather than use it for paying online transactions. Because if I have other options to pay online then I will use it first before using my Bitcoin as using it right now will be a total waste of opportunity. Decreasing the Bitcoin I am holding will weaken my position of price appreciation. Right now when the Bulls are dominating the market it is better to wait rather than to use what you have or rather sell it at an early stage of the trend.

There are a number of large gaming industries who are starting to accept bitcoin as a payment like Steam, Blizzard, etc. These show a strong example on how bitcoin can influence large organizations into using it as an alternative payment for credits. This reflects its success throughout the years and shows a good-sign on how bitcoin may attract not only the investment perspective but also the gaming perspective. Lastly, due to its flexible nature of a digital currency, it also has the potential of gaining new retailers or organizations that exist in the internet. With these, this may further strengthen its price which shows a positive sign on the upcoming future.

If all online stores provide payments with bitcoin payouts then I think this is good, but there are still many countries that have not been so wide to receive payments with bitcoin as digital currency, of course every country has a government that does not want to take risks that could harm the community them, but it's back to that person holding bitcoin, how he can keep the bitcoin itself as a digital currency ...

Yup overstock.com accepts bitcoin and is a MAJOR outlet that is safe/secure to spend BTC with. No clue why this website is not getting more attention. It even accepts ALTCOINS.

Imagine if eBay/amazon directly accepted bitcoin. Game over man game over lol...

I do bought on some online shops and also a money on game or game credits.  I also use bitcoin as payment for some bills either electronic and water.  I think it is good to invest your money on bitcoin if you doesnt have any budget for something or daily needs.

I still also buy pizza online with bitcoin :) pizzaforcoins works and works great expensive but not 10 bitcoin :P

Yes I use it as a currency to pay for my friends online ,
I also use it to buy some cellular load and to buy some online stuff .

I have used Bitcoin to pay for services online. But I haven't been able to use it to shop online.
It would be most beneficial if online stores begin accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment.
And Also most people don't care using Bitcoin for payment.

No.. I just use bitcoin as a investment, I not use bitcoin as  payment method yet.. as long I know, in my country there's no offline shop or online shop can accept bitcoin. How I can use bitcoin even the people not to know bitcoin, not too much people know bitcoin in here.. I usually use bank transaction for buying something

Yes you are correct there are many stores accepting bitcoins now a days.
but still there are lots of major websites like ebay amazon donot accept this payment.
and yes in near future if bitcoin can collaborate with this giants.
bitcoins price will go to the moon for sure.

I tried not use bitcoin to pay for something  intry to save it  for future
Ifi need addirional money  i change bitcoin to fiat. Online never used.

I still love the legal currency legalized by my country.
no reason to commit a violation.
in my country the use of Bitcoin is prohibited.
transacting with Bitcoin will not be accepted.

Yes, I am using it as payment online but only to sites where it is accepted as a payment. Still, there are sites and even countries where Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is not yet legal which makes paying directly with Bitcoin, limited only to those who are living on places where it is legal. Hoping that in the future it will be legal to most of the countries for people to directly use it as a payment without the need of converting into fiat.

Btc has been known for its ability to be used for exchange of goods and services. Since most of the online payment processors have started accepted bitcoin. I prefer to use bitcoin to make online payments

Yes i am suing bitcoin as a digital currency for paying online, because through coinc.ph as a bitcoin wallet in every transaction that I did i can have a percent interest from it. So while i am spending my bitcoin i am also gaining money from the transaction that i am doing. That is a big help for me.

Yes! I buy something online using bitcoin as payment. Like if I want cellphone load I buy load through online using bitcoin, its the good thing and advantage of using bitcoin you can buy something easiest where you are.

As of now no, Im just earning and withdrawing it. Havent tried to buy anything using bitcoin online. But maybe in the coming days if I'll earned good amount of bitcoins.

There are 2 big online markets similar to how Amazon work and both accept bitcoin. I always spend bitcoin there when I can. There are a few other smaller businesses accepting it through a payment processor like bitpay that way the people selling don't need to know how bitcoin works because they will be paid by the third party company you pay the bitcoins to and they get paid however they want. It makes it much safer then sending straight away to the seller.

Came across different websites providing access to pay with bitcoin through the forum discussions, but yet I haven't made a payment online. Now all that I have is few Satoshi that I earned from faucets, maybe after earning good sum of bitcoin will enjoy spending.

I use bitcoin in both purposes. Although bitcoin is not yet accepted as payment in online shopping, maybe in the near future it will be accepted. Also, If I have enough bitcoin that is accepted for investing then I will try to invest in different companies here. Paying bitcoin in online shops is a good idea, I think. Because we all know here that it is  more convenient and it is easy

Already tried doing it for few times.
Since there are occasions that can really be hassle or time consuming if i go the normal way of depositing my money into my account then paying it with the aid of third party.
The only problem with bitcoin being used for online payment is that there is not that much of entities that accepts bitcoin as a term of payment.  Hopefully this number will soon increase.

I'll prefer using my bitcoin for investments and use the paper money or fiat for spending. For me, using bitcoin for purchasing is a coin wasting especially that i have only few in my wallet that need to grow. Maybe if a have plenty of bitcoin i will use some of it for spending because the way it was  to use is very convenient and safe but now i need to work hard so that my bitcoin will double for future use.

here in my country i can use bitcoin to pay bills in online transactions like electricity water bills etc, and i used bitcoin to buy prepaid loads for my cellular phone thru online use my local wallet it easy for the transaction save more time by doing this, and maybe time comes they all product needs for daily life can use bitcoin for the fast online transactions.

Yes, I have been using bitcoin by investing.

I do not know any stores that use bitcoins in my country.so i do not have any experience in using btc for trades.i think HODLing is better than trades. :D

I use bitcoin as payment for the bills I can pay on like my telecom bills, water bills and electrict bills on. And also I use bitcoin to pay those who render services to me. This is more convenient than using my bank and dollars to pay.

In the bitcoins world, no impossible if the bitcoins is involve,
1st, bitcoins is secure
2nd,bitcoins is easy to use and friendly
3rd, bitcoins is very high value than others.

No reason if the btc make digital someday.

That is one of the main objective of bitcoin after the implementation paying and transferring money online without any risk. but more of bitcoin user making it wrong and used bitcoin for other purposes, like what you say in trading.

I sometimes use bitcoin as payment in online stores especially when it is accepted. I am also paying bitcoin whenever I buy mobile credits online. I can do that with the exchanger I'm using. I can also pay bills like electricity and water bills. And soon, for sure, bitcoin will be accepted in major online stores. Bitcoin will become one of the major payment method.

Yes i have use or i am using Bitcoin for paying online, because it is more easy and i am only using it when my coins.ph wallet have a money, i am using it after my campaign is done because i have earn money to pay for meralco bills and water bills, and i am also buying loads using my earning from bitcoin, because its more affordable.

Yes, bitcoin is used and a purpose to pay online transactions, so do I, I am paying people who render their service in exchange of few bitcoin. This is the best method to pay people than using bank payment. There are a lot of complications involved in bank transcations while the bitcoin transcation is simple and fast.

That's exactly why I think many people see it like a saving for the future, just like it was gold a few decades ago.
The issue is that we NEED a new kind of payment which is low in the fees, easy to handle and designed to be used online for big as small transaction.

Great job buddy! We as community have the power to change something in the world. And just spread that usability and make other knowing that there is actually another kind of way to pay, and it's more secure, not centralised by any power and it could use all over the world without any extra fee it's something very useful.
I think like 85% of the world does not still know what a BTC really is..

I see. And that what it quite scared me of. I mean it was not intended to be ONLY as repair for hyperinflation and to store value like gold was but more you use it ( and I don't necessary refer to just trade on exchanges) more it spreads around the world and make more visibile to everyone so it can seriously become the first and only worldwide currency accepted everywhere.

But nowadays I agree with you it's mostly use to store value, unfortunately.

I've never used BTC as a digital currency in any form. I've only bought some in the hopes that some day I will. It is amazing how much Bitcoin's price has increased over time. The fact that it is going up so high may make people weary of spending it. When something raises in value over time, people start developing a hoard mentality. When it starts to level out I expect more people to be active with spending and receiving bitcoin.

I see..But more and more option there has been in the market to exchange it in fiat if you are an online shop's owner like Bitpay for example. I think I read it to let an e-commerce to accept Criptocurrencies and to trade it as soon as the transaction takes place. So for example it you sell any goods for 5$ and you want to play in BTC, it let you to pay with "that-moment-price" with a very low fee and the merchant receive the 5$ less fee in his wallet.

That a way if someone want to pay in BTC and the owner is scared about its fluctuation and want to be paid in fiat.

I live in a country where you can pay some stuff using bitcoin, I can even pay my bills using my bitcoin after I converted it to my local purchase so I can still consider it as bitcoin purchase, in my opinion as long as you acquired something using bitcoin although converted  to local currency it is still bitcoin purchase.

Which are these 2 online markets that you are talking about ?
I totally agree with you with BitPay - every store owner needs to start accept it !

I see your point but what will the merchant get from it other than more customer base, I think exchanging bitcoin directly after receiving it from a customer is a non profitable way, however taking that and adding it to a pool and saving it until a fork comes is a better strategy because the whole idea behind earning bitcoin is to save it so you can make profit from its price increase.

It's a total different topic. I mean if someone wants to be be paid in their shop ONLY in fiat that's a way to obtain also those costumers who are willing to pay with Criptocurrencies - so we got the solution.

If and again I say IF the merchant is aware what it a Crypto and wants to take advantages of it and think about earning from it, it's another thing and still it's a good business tactics.
But he as also to pay their employees so they want to be paid in fiat he as to convert it in local currencies..if you understand what I mean

So far i don't try it because i use credit card method and limited accepted bitcoin as a payment but i try to use that in a store accepting bitcoin payments and i just shocked when i see it.

I'm utilizing bitcoin as a computerized cash and I'm paying Bitcoins for web based shopping now a days a large portion of individuals are utilizing and trusting Bitcoins that is the reason the majority of individuals now a days pay Bitcoins for internet shopping and this is presently usually utilized and after some time Bitcoins will likewise present as a money by each nation and gradually bitcoins will present as cash of entire world.

I used to buy Steam games for BTC, but since I'm not playing anymore I have no need for that. At the moment I'm waiting for a big EU online store to start accepting it so I can spend some money ;) I've been holding it for so long that it's really time to treat myself to some fun stuff.

yeah people nowadays have no purpose to get involved with the real project of bitcoin as a transformation money. the next generation money that would become popular as time goes by. i won't deny that bitcoin are so promising as a digital asset , you put your money in bitcoin and just hold it as long as possible. but i always prefer to support the vision of satoshi to make bitcoin as a real digital currency.

Let me tell you a joke ok? Satoshi already left this forum for 7 years. LUL .

Definitely I don't use BTC as for payment online because I don't have an important thing to buy and also,the quality is not satisfying. Most of the time I use bitcoin as fiat after it has been a digitized currency for some weeks in my wallet. Through physical money,I can see and touch the products that can't be possible online. I prefer touching and looking at the products physically rather than just seen on screen.

Yes. I have made some transactions online and trust me its so flexible to use with little transaction charge.

Yes i usually use that for paying online like when i buy game or something in internet but for paying offline i usually change my bitcoin first into my local currency because in my country bitcoin still hasn't legalized so it's a bit hard for paying by bitcoin.

I am not yet using bitcoin as a way of paying on online shopping but I wanted. If ever I found an online shop here in our country, I will use my bitcoin for payment.

I use my bitcoin to pay our bills online but never been use for merchant online. One bitcoin expert says that it is good to save your bitcoin but it is much better if you use it sothat so may know how it works and ofcourse to circulate bitcoin.

yes i use btc for paying online like online shopping it also i pay btc in my steam accout to buy a games .

There is no option in my country to use Bitcoin for shopping. There's only one ATM in the airport to take cash for Bitcoin. I use Bitcoin for investment purposes. Already the price is changing so fast that I don't want  to use Bitcoin for shopping.

I only use Bitcoin for paying for things online. So far I have bought online from local sources the following. Xbox, ps3, console accessories like guns and memory cards. Electronics, printer, 3d printer, video games, clothing, coffee, coffee machine, PC hardware and many many other things and had it sent to my doorstep paid fully in bitcoin. I have also received refunds back in Bitcoin as well so it works well and has buyer protection. The refund o got was due to a transaction not being picked up on their side. They fixed it right away after I contacted them. I had my bitcoins refunded by the next morning. Also the emailed to follow up on my refund a couple of days later. This just goes to show Bitcoin is viable and works well.

I just keep))

Yep  ;D

That was and have to be the goal to BTC and not just speculation and we have been seen for far by many players. Anyway it would be such a easy way to pay someone or something offline too. We need it as digital currency worldwide - we are just tired of those national currencies you have to exchange ( and pay large fee to the banks ) when you travel abroad  >:(

You got the point man!
That's the two opposite way of thinking that could cause an internal fight against who are willing to use it and those who instead wants only to hold it or speculate from it.

I personally think Satoshi had in his mind to create a digital currencies and make it spread all over the world to BE USED in every day life and to make it become more and more popular to at the end replace old local centralised currency.

Something however has been changed and we will see more in the next months hopefully  ;)

Yes I will start buying something with the use of bitcoin when is fully legalise in my country. This is because, at the moments there is no online shops or virtual shops that accept bitcoin as a mode of payment here in my country and that makes me to always convert it to dollar before I can make use of it to purchase things.  

Actually I had already done paying using bitcoins on a certain game currency and it does not give me any issues on those transactions. When dealing on online transactions, I think using bitcoins was one of the best choice for paying online or digital goods and had only minimal problems which is only the delay(in just my own experience only).

i never buy stuff on internet with bitcoin. if i have one i will exchange to regular money.
in my country you can make transaction use bitcoin just with people that accept bitcoin itself.

I've tried person to person purchase with btc already and it's a lot more convenient than other options. Though i don't think there are a lot of retailers or businesses that would transact with you this way yet

Yes,I do use bitcoins to make online purchases but since its not accepted in major sites like amazon and all , I use it more for buying games and doing trades.

I used Bitcoin for online paying before today..
Bought items, paid for service..
I keep bitcoin now because price is very high..

I agree and also haven't used bitcoin as a payment method on buying/paying online, But you can use bitcoin as a digital currency for paying online. In my country, there is no online shops or place that i usually go to buy things or buy services because i am more on like a simple lifestyle where i just spend money in clothes, gadget and things what I need in my everyday life. I use bitcoin also as an investment for future.

Yes of course . now a days many website use bitcoin as paying method . I used some websites and also for buying games . it’s a easy method . I hope in future evryonline business will  use bitcoin as paying method too.

Well bitcoin is a digital currency but most of sites and people do not accept bitcoin. They do not believe in bitcoin due to lack of knowledge and proper guidance. It is used for investments but it is not accepted for online shopping. But the speed with which it is progressing one day each shop and site will accept payment in bitcoin

I see the problem buddy.
That's what makes it only a conventional form of asset as now is. I mean if you have to convert it everytime in fiat, it does not make any sense because it first was concept as digital currency as that is the way we must use it.
The problem is the Governments and its control.

You are right. As for now, there isn't such a big opportunity for us to spend it online. As Giant Ecommerce would start accept it, you'll see how much we use it  :o :o
For now just HODL  ;D ;D

Anyway we cannot think any governments take first step to make it legal currency 'cause they think they can only lose taxes money

This is very convenient, the purchase of foreign products can be paid immediately. ;D

Great point of view man.
You know, the gateway options for Cryptocurrencies already exist, but their poor knowledge does make they cannot integrate that option in their local e-shops.

I think personally, that buying something immaterial such as games is much easier for them, because there is no good to deliver and also for anonymous thing. We'll see something big happen in the near future..

Stay tuned  ;D :D

Few times, I used BTC directly to pay for things
Most of the time; I am using it 'indirectly' through my Debit Cryto Card (that I load with BTC or other ALT and then be able to use it as any other card)

not yet, but if u want to use bitcoin on paying online,  u can use it directly.

Using at shops for years. Right now it's not feasible at current transaction fees.

Yes.I do.Its very safe to use to pay.Without any barriers we can buy No extra fees,ect ect.A free world without any extra fees.

No extra fee's u say huh? :))

https://blockchain.info/tx/1c14aba4f769942584358bd9e2b5ef76f2c071689edc8206e185281520a109d9

Just paid 4$ for a 25$ transfer and will likely be waiting 24hours for it to get 1 confirmation. It is awfull to use right now, my shops didn't yet add other payment methods so i'm stuck paying john gotti fee.

Well bitcoin is supposed to be a currency but it's really not being used as such, and I don't blame people. Essentially you would have to pay a 5$ fee for a 2$ coffee, for example, which is stupid. You can't really use bitcoin right now for small purchases, it just doesn't work, there are solutions to this, of course but they take time. My prediction is that when cryptos are actually used as currency, we will not see bitcoin as the top one, there will probably be a lot of new cryptos with new technology that will take over bitcoin.

BTC was designed to be used, not to be held as an asset, unfortunately we have gone past that point, it will most likely remain as an investment until it finally dies overthrown by a better coin.

https://medium.com/@rusty_lightning/dear-bitcoin-im-sorry-fees-will-rise-b002b1449054

Definately. It was okish before friday though. You could pay 30-180 sat/byte and get thru in an hour or so. Hope they clear the backlog soon.

No i use BTC to make my future bright i just save it or trade it for other coins this way i make more profit i purely just use and i am in to bitcoin just because of the fact that it can give me money and i need a lot to secure my future that is why.

for this to develop it must be removed.

Yes its some way like when i play faucet so i need to do deposit in their site or i will exchanger bitcoin to our own money because in my country we have that kind of wallet.I think the main purpose why this bitcoin create is really for paying online and to have a bank that you can only access or open the account

i am using for bank of my money was secure

This is a temporary phenomenon (I hope). Whenever there is a lot of activity, blocks tend to become full and transaction fees shoot up. Hopefully, the dust will settle down and things will go back to normal. people usually won't have a problem paying 0.1mbtc as fees.

That's why Im avoiding small transactions and if possible making a bulk transfers.

Well as long as bitcoin price is continously rising, we can really expect a high fees if we based on USD values on it. Actually Im fine now with BTC0.0005 to BTC0.001 fees of some web exchanges because I must agree to that since I really need to used their exchange services. And since bitcoin price is currently on uptrend, the value of BTC0.001 is rising too.

Currently I am using this all only for some betting sites and have investment in few ICO's and doing digital currency exchange because here we have no sites which accept bitcoin as payment method mostly have to exchange this but looking forward for this in future because now time for change

I haven't tried before, but i know few people who have used it on steam. My brother once paid with bitcoins on steam to get games when they were on summer sale :).

We needed to wait a little bit, but it then arrived at our library where our games are listed. So far no problem with me.

When bitcoin price is till low and I am still a newbie, I just use my bitcoin to pay creditcard bills, utilities and topping up my phone.  I used my btc and now I am regretting it.  If I just only keep all of them before, maybe now my future is secured.

yes iam paying my vps hosting and my domain renting with bitcoin.
so iam supporting bitcoin very much witch my Facuet website !


kind regards

No for now cause I don't know yet which online seller is accepting bitcoin. and I really want to use my bitcoin to more important stuff to buy.

I personally don’t use it as I belong to a third world country and I am only a participant in signature campaign but I am looking much more people who are paying bitcoin for online shopping as well as for the purpose of paying school fees which is very much appreciable for myself.

Wow :o :o
That's nice trick buddy! Can you repost it which one if works for you?

In the future I'm looking to have a debit card with can work with every altcoins : I would be amazing even if I think it's such a difficult thing to be done. Hoping it's not a crime  ::)

That's bad !
They have to fix it somehow otherwise we can not afford it - I don't know actually how but there are out pleanty of Crypto more flexible , with less fees and definatly faster to approve a node.

Bitcoin cash for example it's much much faster..
Of coure they forked for it and it's supposed to solve that problem

Unfortually for the Comunity I totally agree with you.
We crossed that point to use BTC as digital currency, and as it is now I can see only as a investment like other one of the old world.
We'll see other Cryptos to take place in the top charts and I think that the ones who can solve these problem LOW FEES, FAST TRANSACTION, RELIABLE , ANONYMOUS will definaly started to be sedn as digital wordwide currency

Not yet because i never try to buying stuff online, but i have a chance to buy online, then i will use my bitcoin as payment. Perhaps i'll going to use it when i have important  things to buy.

That's nice!
You'll see on the black friday you gonna find something useful to buy :D
By the way, can you tell which type of card it is?

As a student, bitcoin is really useful for us to use in payments. We can use bitcoin to pay school tuition fees which lets us avoid long lines that moves without assurance. Sometimes the guards cuts the line and makes a lot of students angry. Base on my experience, i haved used bitcoin to pay something that i have bought online but i need to redeem or get my money from bitcoin thru a bank account. I think if bitcoin is legalized in our country, online payments with bitcoin would be possible.

I've experience that long lines when i was still a student and it is very annoying really. Good thing now that there is a website in my country where in i can easily exchange Bitcoin to Cash and from that i can pay bills like tuition fee, electric bills, water bills with the same website. I am using that for paying my electric bills and it is very useful because i don't need to go out anymore to pay those kind of bills.

Not really because I don't trust most of this  card merchant for card processing  or is there any that is trustworthy

 :) Hi, there luxcoin! As far as I know, there are only around seven countries that prohibit the use of cryptocurrencies. I agree with you stating Satoshi's aim of creating an alternative payment for internet commerce. Currently that dream is little by little realize as more company embrace the technological change of accepting cryptocurrency big names includes Microsoft, Newegg, Steam, and much more. However, most of the bitcoin holder prefer to earn more bitcoin rather than spend it which become the reason why most of the bitcoin transactions are conducted in the investment.    ;)

Unfortunately, i am not allowed since Bitcoin is not uet legal in my country as a currency. And also, those online shops that accepts Bitcoin as a mode if payment are only limited on some countries with regards to the delivering process. But I am joping that ulin the future it will be legal on my country and i would be glad to use my Bitcoin to buy the things that i want.

Yes I use BTC on paying my bills and for shopping also  and others.

With relatively high bitcoin fluctuations, there will be a feeling of affection when we have to use it as a means of payment. It would be wise, imo, that in transactions (selling / buying goods and services) we keep using fiat. And treating bitcoin remains as an investment.

I agree with you, we should just keep or remain our bitcoin as an investment or an asset because it will help us to continue earning money in terms of fiat and just use our fiat to make transactions or payments because it is better to use it since it is fixed and it is not volatile like bitcoin. The wise decision right now is just to hold bitcoin and don't do anything with it until the price satisfies you and just sell.

I have used Bitcoins to make purchases at Overstock.com but I mostly hold what I have. It’s hard to justify spending Bitcoins when the value could double in a matter of months.

There’s also the issue of fees that add to the cost of using Bitcoin as a method of payment. Until that issue is resolved, I think Bitcoin will mostly be used as an investment and a store of value. That may be all it ever is which is fine as long as the price keeps going up or at least doesn’t back track.

Bitcoin likes Gold. It is too wasted on spending Bitcoin. It is suitable to invest.

I use bitcoin almost daily as crypto trader either as base currency or transit currency. I do not, however hold bitcoin for speculation.

not yet, because i'm not see the onlineshop accept bitcoin yet so if want to use bitcoin for payment is difficult
so far i use bitcoin to my livelihood then not use for payment in online and offline store

i usually use that for paying online like when i buy game or something in internet but for paying offline i usually change my bitcoin first into my local currency because in my country bitcoin still hasn't legalized so it's a bit hard for paying by bitcoin

I make daily purchases with bitcoin, I even order food sometimes with bitcoin haha

It is very good to pay the bills with the bitcoin and the bitcoin is being world famous if we will hold the bitcoin and the bitcoin will have the big and the safe currency it is the time of the new age I hope the bitcoin will be the best currency in the coming time and I safe the bitcoin for the big currency I am now investing in the bitcoin and the bitcoin will afford everything for us now and then.

Yes I sometimes pay some of my benefits with bitcoin, already many e-commerce that accept bitcoin and it makes all my business easier.

Thanks for having shared your testimony mate.
That's pretty awesome what you wrote. It was first intended to be used as digital currency and avoid all the traditional way of payments that do not necessary mean illegal - so your example is just perfect!

Actually, I always used as currency and I usually it in online shopping and I prefer to used as payment than cash. In addition, I also often used in trading so that I could gain high income and we all know trading is the best sources of income. I hope all online shop will accept bitcoin as a payment of their costumer.

yes sometimes I use bitcoin currency for online shopping that payments,  overall it's a very well,, I will investment 3years ago and finally I will get smart result!!!

yes i use it ... its very simple and very easy to use bitcoin for paying bills here in the Philippines.
thats why i like so much this bitcoin ... i hope the philippines will not ban bitcoin here in our country

Now many people are investing in bitcoin, probably because of its expensive price and a very busy market with bitcoin trading Moreover the demand for bitcoin is many and always increases every year.

As of the moment, I only hold my bitcoin as an investment. My country is limited to use bitcoin, There are several services supported yet. I hope in the near future digital currency will accepted even in grocery store.

I used it once for online payment just for fun. Now i'm using it only for trading and investing.

That's amazing buddy.
You saw and test the benefit of the last technology and its distuption  8)
Skipping lines is a way to earn time

No. Because here in my country the banks still don't accept Bitcoins. But if you already converted the Bitcoin into real money, that real money will be accepted by the bank. But I hope in the future they will accept BTCs.

Yes, you're right! Unfortunally it is seen majority as form of investment right now and not used as every day digital form of payments.
The reason we mentioned before are basically these: cost of fees, time to block, be recognised legal by local goverments and its value that change costantly.

The next months are crucial and I bet we'll see something great changing ;)

In my country bitcoin can be use in paying utility bills(power and water bills), tuition fees in universities, insurance , government and credit card online. Personally i am using bitcoin for paying my monthly bills, buying loads including phone load and game card load. Im looking forward to use it in a grocery store soon.

I don't get it when people talk about bitcoin being accepted or not in a country. I think it is important to note that bitcnin is virtual and is only used in virtual space which spans beyond the physical borders of any country. So it can be used in any country fro any location and that possibility lies with the transacting parties only. In my country many online merchants accepts bitcoin, but that doesn't make bitcoin legal or the transactions illegal here. If the acceptance or legality of bitcoin is here misconstrued to mean official adoption by a country then I am afraid bitcoin is not legal any where in the world and may never be since no country would want to accomodte 2 legal tenders

hi

I think btc is hard to use to pay online because its speed is too slow.
are you think so?

I got your point.
That was scared most of the holder from speding it: it value will continue growth and now we see just as an investment and not like a form of payment.

I do the vast majority of my shopping on the online sites and that is the reason I need to do online installments for the online installments I need to pay cash from the trustable computerized money and the most trustable cryprocurrency is bitcoins that is the reason for all my online installments I utilize the main cryprocurrency which is bitcoins and you ought to likewise utilize bitcoins for your online installments since you can completely trust on bitcoins.

I am not using, but soon will be utilizing Bitcoin, however the fee is too high at the moment, and my plans are to use Ethereum for buying or selling anything online. Bitcoin will become top digital currency soon because of a lot of trust in  it than any other cryptocurrency.

Yes satoshi wanted to use it for this purpose but in the modern world, things change so was it's concept changed and that's how the world is, while I can't buy directly using Bitcoin what I do is pay the person in coins and take money via vouchers and bank account so yes I buy a lot of stuff using Bitcoins, but not directly as not many people accept bitcoin as direct payments but I am sure it will get accepted in future.

No we don't think so. Bitcoin is mainly used online to pay online. Most of the companies accept the first confirmation and the 1st confirmation usually takes 10 to 15 mins if you pay the normal default fee. By paying a little more higher fee,  tx can be confirmed much earlier also. Also bitcoin is into transformation through forks and soon this issue of slow confirmation will be solved forever as more larger blocks would be there meaning much earlier confirmations.

I haven't utilized it as an installment technique yet. I haven't seen it yet where I purchase on the web, however regardless of the possibility that I there was the alternative of BTC I wouldn't do it. I believe that correct now BTC has more an incentive as a benefit in exchanging or simply contributing instead of utilizing it as an exchange coin.

 i think the world got greedier and we all want to hold it as an investment rather than a day to day currency which we will use to make micro payments. I for instance only spend a few satoshis when i want to hire a service online or send  some money to a friend or colleague or some rare emergencies.It's just not worth spending them now and paying huge fees  for little transactions than holding them for a bigger amount in future.

It has not been used as a payment method yet. I have not seen where it is, I buy it online, but even though I have the option of BTC I will not do it. I think now that BTC has more value as a trading asset or just investing instead of using it as a trading coin, confirmation of BTC as a transaction is slow and inappropriate.

there are many users of bitcoin that they used only to pay online to order and shopping online. but for the others like me i use it as my salary or my allowance because bitcoin for me is a money and i admit that i am not rich that's why i used bitcoin for earnings. so everytime that i hear that the bitcoin is only for online shopping and not for earnings. hello! bitcoin is made by used to everyone and its up on us how it be used as long as the bitcoin is used for the good things nothing bad for it. unlike to the bad people who used bitcoin to crime activities. they used bitcoin to bad and now the bitcoin's image is affected.

For the reason, bitcoin have been praised all over the work and it is making transactions fast and furious. Bitcoin have been making progress in this field and a time will come when every online element is associated with bitcoin and you can easily buy and sell online just using bitcoin. You wouldn’t be going for such conversions and paying heavy fees. Just swap the bitcoin card.

This is a problem that in under developed and developing countries, bitcoin is not much common. Moreover this countries have many issues to be resolved before making these currencies common especially bitcoin. I am also from developing country and here only limited people know about bitcoin and in this way, they are really making good money with bitcoin. People from developed world are using it commonly.

I got your point and I quite agreee with you. It's cheaper and faster to use the rCrypto instead BTC to buy online cause you do not have to wait the block to the approved after 15/20 min ad proceed to have what you bought.
Unfortunately for many people it is seen too much like form of investment so they can not spend it to buy thing but only for trading.

We definitely hope so, cause we can no longer pay such an high fees compared to the other cryptos and still wait for so long before be approved. Think about what it is right now when you pay with credit cards: it only takes seconds. And for merchants it's trusted because they can be anyway pay even something will go wrong after the payment.
We need a solution right now, otherwise BTC will not be see anymore as a form of payment but only investment

I never use bitcoin to pay online, this is because there are still not many online stores in my country that receive bitcoin, most still using bank transfer or paypal. I hope someday more and more online stores will receive bitcoins.

Well I guess it is much faster than paying falling in line. Paying through online using bitcoin is of course could less your effort, less wasting time travelling to the department store just to pay bills or anything. When it comes to connection well I guess its all up to your internet connection, the problem is in your connection not in bitcoin itself.

Main three reasons that make many only hold bitcoin

price changes fast (it is change every hour), fee (you can send it with 1$ and next day 10$) and few trust sites accept bitcoin

Yes i use bitcoins to buy online products like i am loading some another digital currency for my mmo games and it was very profitable because the value of btc is keep on increasing that's why i am earning more and more profit each day.

I use it primarily to trade, but yes a few times I buy some stuff.

Even if you pay online with your credit card or whatever is the same. That is not the point. Of course you could save time, money and so on doing shopping online - but here we talk about using BTC instead classic gateaways

Yes, I use bitcoin in my daily financial transaction since it helps me to manage my finances and provides me convenience.
Through the help of bitcoin I become more efficient and productive in my all task.

Oh yes I do...first time I used it felt really nice, the ease and flexibility. Lots of online sites accept it now for subscriptions and other payments. Its nice

I concur with you expressing Satoshi's point of making elective installment for web comemrce. At present that fantasy is little by little acknowledge as more organization grasp the innovative difference in accepting digital money huge names incorporates Microsoft, Newegg, Steam, and significantly more. Nonetheless, the vast majority of the bitcoin holder like to procure more bitcoin as opposed to spend it which turn into the motivation behind why the vast majority of the bitcoin exchanges is directed in the speculation.

Even bitcoin not legalized in my country we can use it to any transaction like buying or shopping onlinr, paying any kind of bills and buying loads was acceptable and it is easy to use because some of the company accepting bitcoin as payment so that bitcoin is easy and it is really nice to use for any transaction.

Yes actually many bitcoin wallet offers this kind of service. You can pay bills, buy loads, tuition fees and etc.
It is a big convenience for everybody since they will eliminate the effort for the manual procedures and save the time which allotted for it.

Yes many times.

As I am a webmaster and found A-Ads, AdBit, CoinURL and few other advertising networks which accepts Bitcoin payments to offer advertising services globally. I initially start with small amount of Bitcoins spending for running advertising campaigns successfully. It was great experience. Since from then I used Bitcoins for my domain and hosting services as Namecheap accept Bitcoin payments. After then for making recharge of Cell phones via Bitrefill many time.

But its a past with amazing experience, Now I am focusing on HODL.

It was really the main motto of Satoshi Nakamoto to reduce or minimise the problems of common people. That is why he (?) introduced bitcoin a cryptocurrency. People who have digital payment facilities available in their countries are doing them same in their day to day life. But people from third world countries or some African countries are ready to use bitcoins, but lack of basic infrastructure facilities like internet, mobile wallets etc. preventing them from using bitcoin. In some countries the government itself is against use of bitcoins. So people are helpless.

I did it recently, I bought a hardware wallet and paid with bitcoin, but I’ve been looking for places to spend my bitcoins directly, without converting them into fiat, and I don’t have many options available. I don’t plan to spend many coins, though, as I think it will be more profitable to hold them, and that is what happening today: not many merchants accepting bitcoin and bitcoin profitability make people hold their coins instead of spending them. Maybe next year with lightning network this will be solved.

While that is true on "normal" days, higher demand could derail it pretty quickly. Take the recent days for example. There are so many people trying to transact that the mempool got spammed. Even setting a high fee with an accelerator could take a while to confirm. I tend to stay away from using it at times like this, but yeah my transactions are pretty fast otherwise.

If you are using it now for your financial transactions on a daily basis ,then you would be spending a huge amount of money as transaction fees and with the price so high for every transaction you have to give a good amount of money,if not you have to plan your transaction per day and you have to figure it out to send them to everyone at once so that you can cut down on your transaction fees. :P

In my country, the exchange platforms of bitcoin have been banned. And most people buy bitcoin as a investment, not a currency.

Since bitcoin is slowly invading the whole world in nice circumstances. Many people start new business that support bitcoin for mode of payment.
Just like alibaba a shopping application in smartphones offers some products that you can use bitcoin to purchase it. Many bitcoin wallets also use bitcoin to pay bilsl, shopping online and many more.

I haven't tried before, but i know few people who have used it on steam.

I have used LTC and BCH for making payments, but I am yet to use Bitcoins for the same. And now it is quite difficult to use Bitcoins, due to the very high transaction fee and the time it takes to get confirmations.

Yes I sometimes use bitcoin to pay for hosting services, but over time I think it is not necessary because it will waste my bitcoin.

If there is such a possibility, then I will take advantage of it. Because it seems to me that this is a very convenient way.

Well as long as bitcoin price is continously rising, we can really expect a high fees if we based on USD values on it. :)

That's great. Aren't you fear however to loose its value since it has been growing ?

Totally agree with you.
I think nowadays it such a difficult to pay online even small amount with BTC 'cause it ask you more fee than probably what you are buying - and there are almost 500k transaction on hold to be approved. That makes BTC quite difficult to be used in everyday life. So people instead are switching to other cryptos to exchange their money.

yes bitcoin can be used as a digital currency insterd of paytm etc

i think so, if my country already using bitcoin to payment, i can buy everything online or offline shoping with bitcoin as payment.
i already using bitcoin to trading and do some project bounty to earn money from bitcoin..

That's great. I mean everyone who has been having Bitcoin for years has used in someway and they realised that is pretty awesome not to depend anymore from banks. That is really why is invented.

But when it started growing everyone thought it would be wise to hold it instead use it - so the main reason it first was thought makes no more sense. We can say it's a new gold and I go along with that idea. But as for now, if they does not resolve the scalability issue we cannot think we can use it as a form of daylife payment

That's true. And as a matter of fact the revolution of this new era comes from the third world countries that have enough of all that and start to think outside the box and they want their freedom ( if they ever have one) back from the governments and political corrupted.

We are living a moment of history here, and probably the Mark's theory would eventually realise - redistribution of the power - give power to the people. I know it's hard sentences but I really hope it becomes real because we all need it.

DO NOT TRUST BANKS ANYMORE

That's true. They have to fix that issue if the community of Bitcoin wants to continue to be number 1 of the cryptocurrency. It's a shame you have to set high fees to make them to consider to mine your transaction instead others.

Now it is non economy to use bitcoins because it expensive to pay bitcoins, due to the very high transactions fee and the time it takes to get confirmations. It is simple to pay other fiats.

You're right!
That's a real and big problem BTC is facing today. However I'm quite optimist to think they'll resolve the scalability issue sooner or later so we can reconsider to use it like we used to do years ago when it wasn't such mainstream.

You pointed out a great example how to reduce fees nowadays: you have plan your transaction to put on them on single one so you can save such a fees! But you can only do that if you do not have to pay someone directly or online because they of course want to be paid when you purchase your order.

I used to use it to buy things online but after the increase in value recent months i stopped using it anymore. The last time i use bitcoin is when i use it to buy ledger nano s. Right now bitcoin is only for investment for me because i feel like it's a waste to use it as payment option.

Yes, you're definitely stuck on the hole while you're waiting your transaction to be mined.
And that is no more tolerated.

I used to use BTC for common transactions, but that was like a year or two ago. These days the transaction fees (and subsequently confirmation times for "sane" transactions) are so high that I find it's not worth the effort. ETH transactions were ok until cryptokitties came out, but then it became similar to BTC.

The best options I see now are BCH, LTC, and XMR.

Ofcourse, sometimes I use bitcoin currency for online shopping that payments already using bitcoin facility, but I use bitcoin more often to trade.

Actually it was really an advantage for those people who are using bitcoins as a digital currency because there are no tax and another thing is that the products value will be lesser rather than buying on physical store.

I always use bitcoins to purchase loads for my mobile phone. And if only there's another way or use it in other store online I'd like too. My bitcoins in my wallet was not only an investment but also like money literally that I always up to. I'm looking to buy clothes, food and basic needs online with my bitcoins here in my country.

In my country this is a little difficult to do although there are a number of services that I can pay using bitcoin but I would like more choice and it would be very convenient to use bitcoin for this purpose

Sometimes i use bitcoin currency for paying online shopping and bills, but recently i stop using bitcoin for payment because its value is increasing.

I did as well but after this recent price hype I wasn't able to it again, as I save it for my investment knowing that the value will keep increasing
so instead of using it I used regular fiat or credit card to pay online keeping my bitcoin safe and secure for my long term goal.

True , but when Bitcoin go public to used it as an official currency, government will always looking for a way to tax it. Jeez .... Greedy government even we know it for the better thing, we always hard to trust government they are corrupt :( . I personally used Bitcoin to buy stuff online/offline since long time ago.

I do the same...I use the usual currency in my daily life, because I find that bitcoin is not ready for being used regularly yet... I don't see such strength in it

I haven't tried using btc as a medium for my payments online but even if online sites would allow such option, I wouldn't opt still to use my btc to buy something online. Honestly, it's such a waste to use it on something. I'd rather use my btc for investments instead.

Most games just take the money because it's easy to send, the people that play games with Bitcoin often lose their coins.

No I didn't because I don't want to spend my bitcoin yet. If I will use my bitcoin now to pay for some purchased items online, I will have no profit. So that's the reason why I don't want to spend it yet. Maybe if it is already the right time and it is already acceptable in online shop here in our country, then I will surely do that. For now, I will just save it first.

As of now Bitcoin transaction fee is very high and to make a single transaction like buying a cup of coffee is nearly takes transafer around $ 15 to $ 25.
So now I am not using bitcoin as a payment and instead I am accumulating

Up until now, I never used a single bitcoin for paying online. What i have done with my bitcoin is holding for 90% of times, and 10% of times i used it to exchange it to fiat currency. Well, it is because in my country, there are no vendors or market that accepts bitcoin as a payment system.
What you said is true, bitcoin needs to be legalised first before it can be used as a online payment system. Then there must be an update in the core system to make the transaction blazingly fast and the fees is acceptable for a daily transaction, because if many country make bitcoin as a legal payment system, believe me, the transaction amount will be so much more than we have on this Christmas.
In my opinion, it is better to make the transaction fast and fees acceptable first before making bitcoin as an online payment system. If this to be happen, many country will recognize it and slowly will accept bitcoin. As the purpose and dream of bitcoin is to be the money that can be used everywhere, everytime, in a fast and short time transaction.

yes i can pay bitcoin the digital currency for buying online games and online casinos and many other things as well bitcoin is now the good source of income and people are willing to pay in the digital form like my friend have told me that he purchase d two online games from bitcoin and he told me that it is very easy to buy this. i have used bitcoin several times for the buying of ethereum and other altcoins and now i will pay for online server for a website.

I see your point. Hopefully with Segwit2x something will change..
Meanwhile I agree with you - it's not worth using them as a payment currency for everyday transaction. They need to do something otherwise it only can be used by who are willing to pay huge fees to their transaction to take place and that is possible only if the amount is biiiiiigggg.

Can we say that is equal to gold right now?

That's what was the Idea of inventor. But nowadays it's just an illusion because of the sxalability and fees issue. I really hope segwit will solve the problem otherwise we are stuck and we can only trade it for investiment and that was not definately what it was meant to be.

Anyway there still are many shop online which are implementing bitcoin gatway payment and that is only the beginning of a new era.

Crossing fingers..

Yes, I have already use bitcoin paying online, but only electronic loads for my cellphone and some game cards. I wish there are legit online shops that will accept bitcoin as payment. I prefer those online shops that would sell gadgets, clothes and foods, but I think this will gradually happen in the future, because of bitcoin's popularity.

Here in our country we can be able to use bitcoin to buy things online. It just need to go through a middle man which is a big company here in our country, and I can say It is very easy to use and you will just pay a very small amount for the transaction. So everytime that I have something to buy online and if I lack money to buy it. I use my bitcoin in buying it. If bitcoin will be legalize I think It will be more easier for us to buy and transact online using bitcoin.

Yes it is, but the transaction could be more expensive than the price of the goods you'll buy. Unless a certain online bitcoin wallet will offer different merchants on their platform just like what my country's leading online bitcoin wallet did, they offer different services like paying bills, buying online products and game credits instantlyand without transaction fee.

Basically the use of Bitcoin is the payment of online shopping. But since in some countries including in my country no business developers are providing this service, so I use Bitcoin to trade and invest.

I did the same mate.

That's what most people think about.
And that's not exactely what Nakamoto thought to bring in the world: another speculation thing!
It needs to stabilise so everyone can use it wherever they want because it will be accettable more and more in shops online but also offline.

So for now of course it's hard to spend because we think to loose money and profitzz

QUOTE QUOTE QUOTE 8) ;)
Definately true!
That's what is missing here.

For me, BTC is now helpful in buying things that I do use on a daily basis. I do not have enough BTC to save. At the beginning I wanted to feel the possibility of BTC.

I usually use bitcoin for paying online like when i buy game example in purchasing steam wallet or something in internet but for paying offline i usually change my bitcoin first into my local currency because in my country bitcoin still hasn't legalized so it's a bit hard for paying by bitcoin, but if i make it cash it can be a lot.

Yes I use bitcoin sometimes as a digital currency for paying online.it is the best digital crypto currency I have ever seen.

No, I haven't try yet to use BTC as an online payment. Maybe If i heard someone who use bitcoin as payment online or if many people will try to do that , I will also try it.

Great idea. Of course feel the possibility of BTC. No problem. But I think it is just a waste of time nothing else.
I will suggest you to save BTC just from now.
The sooner you will collect BTC, you will become a rich man. Than you.

I think in the future it will be legalized to use bitcoin in online purchased because it easiest way of sending funds. I believe the future money will be turned into online cryptos just vice versa of real money. people is easy to adapt the future generation so it possible that will happen in this future.

Of course thats what crypto currencies are develop for. To make the transaction speedy and less hassle. Im sure you would like to pay in BTC also if the web store is over seas. I think it is more safer than putting credit card infos online. Gold and BTC have similarities. Theyre both limited but unlike GOLD, BTC price depends on how much demand we have. :)

I think that , the original idea was to use it as payment. payments independent from any financial system but until be 100% legalised it'll be used as especulation investment.

That's great. I mean it was meant to be a digital currency to be spent and you report an excellent example of how to use it. However it's more and more difficult to use it because of time to approve the block. Hopefully they will resolve this issue sooner or later ( and not with an Hard fork !! ). Otherwise other Cryptos will overtake BTC because they are easier to use and be accepted even if we all know that Bitcoin was the first of its kind.

Definitely true. You got the point. However the majority of people does not understand how it works and what makes it appreciated and increase the value. One of the main Sathosi's goal was to reduce the fees of the transaction and not depend to central authority anymore. For the second point we are free with BTC but the fees nowadays are even more expensive that traditional market so it needs to be changed. We'll see what 2018 bring to us but I think many people loses their sympathy to BTC and instead go to other cryptos because of that.

I was actually an investor and a user of bitcoin for 2 years already , i may say that i am one of the one who uses it for paying like bills . It is very convenient since i don't need to go to different different offices just to pay bills , now i can it online at home . Second i use bitcoin for buying prepaid load , i can also sell prepaid load to the buyers and get profit as well , i can also send remittances to my love ones in different part of our country using bitcoin , i can also use it for online shopping and wait for it until the item get delivered at home . Everything can be done with bitcoin without any hassle , stress free , and very convenient , you can also do work at home with bitcoin just hold your bitcoin and get profit . Bitcoin do really made my life so easy i don't need to fall in line just to pay bills . I can pay them on time

I would rather not use my bitcoins to purchase anything online. I would rather just hold on to my bitcoins and let it collect money in time. However, if I have a need or an emergency purchase, I will just have to sell some of my bitcoins instead. I'm more confident in using fiat money than btc.

I believe if bitcoin is legalized and many online stores accept it as a means of payment, there will be a lot of purchases by bitcoiners.
I personally will purchase a lot of things because buying with bitcoin is cheaper than buying in fiat.

I support completely the idea of ​​paying for goods and services with bitcoins. One of the best options for developing a financial system is for me. This type of payment will be indispensable if you solve some problems with transaction speed and high commission.

Here in the Philippines, 7/11 are accepting bitcoin as a payment through the use of coins.ph (popular wallet in the here). I'm already using bitcoin as paying online. Less hassle and more time to do other things.

I don't understand people who do this. I don't even understand people who donating into the games.

I think it is a great idea if we use BTC as a digital currency for paying online. It will be more easier and faster if we use it for payment. It will be get more attention for all people in the world if bitcoin can cover all the payment.

Yes I already use my bitcoins as a digital currency to paying online. In bitcoin you can use them in all means of commercial or trade transaction.
The best thing from it is they provide convenience to the fullest and make the cost lesser, the process faster and no manual procedures at all.

But the problem is transaction fee every BTC usage is high enough nowadays. Many have complained about it. That's why BTC is not effective for micro-payment. I think, currently bitcoin is only ideal for commodities and assets, because the selling value is very high.

Obviously me too you use Bitcoin, the digital currency for paying online in purchasing books and also playing games. There are many sites on internet which are accepting bitcoin for payment. That is the easiest way of payment and very secure and fast too. The Bitcoin is the only crypto currency which is much popular in every field of life in the world. The future of Bitcoin is too bright. I am also use Bitcoin for paying fare of taxi.

For I did not use BTC as a digital currency for paying online because in my country which is the philippines BTC is not yet available as a payment for goods so all I need to do it is to convert it into Php then I can be able to pay my bills online.But looking forward I hope that BTC will be accepted as a payment for goods in my country soon.

I think online payment with Bitcoin  is the next stage. I heard that Amazon will soon accept bitcoin and also Alibaba. If and when that is achieved then bitcoin will be difficult to stop.

Bitcoin was developed for p2p transactions in order to skip the middlemen. With bitcoin it should be possible to have worldwide transactions much faster. However, most people who have bitcoins, hold them as an investment for high returns.

the main purpose is for investment, and also used as a means of payment, because in my country there are stores and cafes that receive payment with bitcoin, but not all of them only a few, and sometimes I shop using bitcoin, but it is not often I am more often using fiat money

Bitcoin was made to be a currency, and to allow us to buy goods. It's not only an asset you hold or trade. As for now, bitcoin isn't spread enough in my country to be used as a currency, but I hope in the future il will.

I rather keep my bitcoin and just hold for my future.
although in our country bitcoin are accepted in some online merchant and i know other are using it as payment since it was so convenient , just bring you phone that it. I' m not seeing my self using bitcoin as payment method  online for just shopping. practicality most people use BTC for investment and other transaction. It good to see that a lot of online shopping are accepting bitcoin and that one of the proof that bitcoin is  very popular nowadays.

I prefer to collect cryptocurrencies. So if I need to pay in online shop I'll better pay by fiat money at the moment.
May be when I'll have quite a lot of BTC, I'll pay in it, but not now.

Yes I use BTC for my online shopping even though there are not too many malls accepting cryptos right now. However, apart from online shopping, I use BTC as an investment for my future.

I was using it in steam but my friends told me that they removed bitcoin from payment methods. Now, I use it for p2p payments and sending money to my siblings living abroad.

Still very useful for me these days even high fees.

My country has not yet centralized BTC because of some security issues, so I never used any BTC as a digital currency for paying only but this could be my dream when I need not to convert BTC into my local currency as use it as it is. There are still many countries who has legalized BTC and accepted BTC as a mode of payment and the millions of fan following and continuously increasing popularity would centralize the BTC all around the world and then we can use BTC as a mode of payment

And in my country have not yet legalized bitkoy and their use as a means of payment is impossible. Therefore, any crypto currency must be converted into local currency.

Thanks mate for your sharing.
That made me think of how much time we used to spend in line just waiting to pay something - it's so olddd!!! And I continue seeing people on the Post waiting their turn instead paying bills online. I mean come on, even if you don't have or don't want to use BTC, you got to have a prepaid or internet bank account for daylife bills.

BUt when you have to send the money abroad Cryptos are the best, the easiest and most profitable way to do it.

Many Thanks Sathosi  ;) ;)

Ok got it. But you know you can do it whenever you want to exchange them - so you can actually use them !

I think nowadays is more expensive though - for small transaction. Somehow they will solve it. And it gonna to be legalised in more and more countries so you can buy stuff online as well as offline directly in store. Lighting will come and fix the issues  :D

Somehow they gonna fix it , do not wonder too much  :) Lightening or whatever come next will definitely come handy.

Great news! Thanks for sharing buddy

You are right. Nowadays it's so expensive to buy something cheap that you are gonna spend much more fees than what you are buying instead. And that's bad. Of course they are doing that to prevent Ddos attack but there may be another way, and they will find soon hopefully.

The user always does something that is more convenient or profitable. If in the short term "lightning network" is implemented, and atomic swaps, your questions will fall away. The money will only be needed for pensioners.

Yes, used to use it, it was the primary motive to get to know Bitcoin, but as the days passed the value rised and now I don't find it si=uitable enough due to high fees considering the fiat valuation. I prefer other coins perhaps, and use Bitcoin as a investment and also to buy or trade other altcoins and often ICOs as well if possible.

Sometimes i pay for  VPN and hosing services using bitcoin.
yes i’m using digital currency for paying online

I have done it recenly to pay a 5$ bill and the fees were 20$. I don't think I will do it again anytime soon.

I do not use BTC as a digital currency for paying online as major store in my home countries do not accept BTC,globally the acceptance is still quite low,hopefully in the near future,lots of online stores will accept the use of BTC

I believe almost everybody in the cryptoworld would want to use bitcoin to make payments online but there are still some limitations in doing that as few merchants currently accept it in their online stores as one of the payment methods.I can't wait for e-commerce sites like amazon, eBay and others to start accepting it.

I used Bitcoin for online payments, I used to buy a Bitcoiner laptop and I used Bitcoin to pay for it. I found the payment is quite high fee this is the point I do not like it.

yes i am used it sometimes to paid my merchandise in online. buying some computer stuff with bitcoin and ethereum. i also cash my money out using bitcoin as it has a very high price and easy to change it to fiat money when we need the most. so it really cool to have some asset and can be use when needed.

Of course bro. Its so convenience for using BTC for paying online things or services.

Of course I used Bitcoin to pay for some online services. I am a porn addict and I like porn. I used Bitcoin and Paypal to pay for some services on some porn sites  ;D ;D ;D ;D
Do you like porn ?  ;D ;D ;D ;D

For me, I will not. Since I do also have a saving in terms of fiat, I will just tend to use those because keeping and holding Bitcoin will be much more beneficial rather than spending it just to pay your online payments for the products or services you have purchased. There is already COD or cash on delivery so there is no such issue on that although the processing will take time before the success, it will be better rather than paying it with cryptocurrency which has the potential to grow even larger quantity.

As of now, I have not bought anything online with BTC. But if that was an option, I would. It would be more convenient than converting BTC to fiat then making a payment.

I use my bitcoins to pay bills. It is easier with this app I use. I don't have to go out the house and line up in some chummy shop to pay for my bills which take forever. With bitcoins, I can pay from the comforts of my home. I don't have to line up and cry the whole time for wasting so much of my day.

In my opinion, it should be used the way the great Satoshi wanted it to be. It's good to consider it as a form of long term investment but it won't hurt to use it in different purposes such as paying bills and stuff. Just like a fiat currency but a decentralized one. In that way, the circulation will go on and it will be healthy for btc as a cryptocurrency. Personally, I use btc in many ways such as paying house bills, transacting with other people online and so on.

Yes, I use bitcoin as payment for online purchases.
I can pay online for services and goods here in my country thru coins.ph exchange.

I used bitcoin and alternative coins as online payment really i forget paypal moneybooker ,visa ...etc , also i do have some coins as physical assets .

Although bitcoin can be used as payment for online games, I haven't tried to use my bitcoin for buying anytime online. I really like playing online games, however, it's too much if I use money to get boosts on game or exclusive items. I really think it would just be enough just to enjoy playing.

if the bitcoin is legalized in our country i think i will always use btc as a payment in my bills because it is much easier to carry every where if i have my phone with me and internet i will just send my money to pay right away if i will buying or paying by fiat it'll a lot of time because sometimes you keep your money in different wallets you still need to find it before paying.

Before now bitcoin use to be the best payment method to buy goods online but in recent day the hick in transactions fee has made many to seek other alternative payments options with low or no fee at all. You can use bitcoin to pay for goods in many of the online stores across the world, like Amazon and Microsoft accept bitcoin.

sometimes I am using bitcoin for digital currency for paying bills online and also I make bitcoin as my stock to invest in many investing site for my bitcoin to increase and for my money to grow. Bitcoin is our digital currency for now because bitcoin can buy foods in the other country and you can book for a hotel using your bitcoin and also you van shop online using bitcoin payment.

has never been because it continues to be somewhat less, judging from the transfer fee is quite large if the convert
and still not in my country of residence
still not allowed to buy goods using bitcoin in my country of residence

I learnt some online stores now accept Bitcoin as a means of payment...... I havent tho.

would love that.... if anyone can refer me to online stores that uses it as a medium of payment

Yes,  I use my digital/electronic currencies just like bitcoins in paying online.  It is easier for me and more accessible since it kills the manual procedures. 
It will make the whole process more fast and reliable which I can save more time,  effort,  and money which I can spend in my hobbies or my family.  Bitcoins helps everyone to become more comfortable to live it and make the life easier than before.

In this progressing world, it is better to use btc for paying online. It is much easier and paperless. It is much reliable so that you don't have to bring a lot of money outside that make affect your security. All you have to do is to to have your phone with you.

i never bought anything using btc.
but yeah in future when the price gets flats out i surely gonna use as a medium to pay my online bills.
till then happy investing.

What's this? Bitcoin IS a digital currency. And you DO use it online, how else can you? Even if you go to KFC you still send the amount online. I mean you can't just hand it to them, can you?

I haven't tried purchasing online directly paying through Bitcoin. It have always been an indirect payment like withdrawal of bitcoin and paying.

I never tried paying online btc for some reason very high transaction fee. I only use btc buying Ico and trading but hopefully in the future maybe i can use bitcoin in the form of mode of payment even in restaurant and online shopping.

I have made online payments using crypto-currency, but I chose Litecoin instead of Bitcoin due to its lower transaction fee. The advantage with Bitcoin is that its acceptability is still more than that of any other altcoin, including Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash.

i have used bitcoin for the buying of ethereum and other altcoins  :) and now i will pay for online server for a website. Bitcoin will become top digital currency soon  8) because of a lot of trust in  it than any other cryptocurrency.

Btc is design to be able to use to purchase online. It is digital of course you can only use this in a virtual world. In my country i havent tried purchasing through online becasue i think there is not yet an online store that accept bitcoin here. I guess this work outside the country like Japan or somewhere in Europe. I love to experience purchasing using bitcoin and how its like to buy something using cryptocurrency. I am looking forward that one day i will be able to buy something online using bitcoin.

Maybe I would. It seems to an easy way though, because why would I bothered to go to a such place to buy or pay something when I could buy it online and pay it online through the use of bitcoin, using bitcoin is very convenient as it seems like typing a letter with a use of computer instead of writing it down on a piece of paper which is exhausting. And I am hoping that one days this time would come.

i do not do that.
i use bitcoin for trading to get profit.
but it is not possible for anyone to use bitcoin for paying online

At the moment, bitcoin is more profitable just as an investment, as there are very few places where you can spend bitcoin. And now the speed of the transaction and the commission for it leave much to be desired.

I think that I will be using bitcoin for investment for long-term since you can gain much profit in investing something. Of course, I am aware of the risk that I might take. It is also possible that I will be using bitcoin to shop online. But let's just see if the time comes wherein the main payment for online shopping is bitcoin.

At this point in time, I use bitcoin only for earning on stock exchanges. Bitcoin as a currency has not yet received sufficient development, mainly due to technical nuances. But this should happen in 5-7 years, I think so.

The core principle of Bitcoin states that Bitcoin is a payment system but since it is still in the early phase, most of the people are looking to exploit the opportunities. I don't think that getting rewards in this way is bad or unethical but I deeply believe that we should look at it as a payment system in the first place and work according it. Speculation is affecting the core values of it in my honest opinion. I would definitely use Bitcoin as a payment system but we need to find solutions for the issues like high transaction fees and confirmation time.

Yes i bought my hardware wallet by paying bitcoin. Day by day online services accept bitcoin for transaction. I think after some years bitcoin will become a famous currency for online shopping

Most of the banks here in our country offers digital money that give you convenience because it offers services similar to bitcoin. The only inconvenience that I see is that you have to go through the bank for you to have funds in it, and banking here is hell. You'll have to allot at least 2 hours for you to finish doing bank transactions.

Luckily we have a wallet application that accepts bitcoin as payment then you can convert it into digital money. After that you can easily pay your bills, send money, buy prepaid loads and even top up some online games.

No, because I'm not going to spend my crypto currency. It will receive more beneficial use in a few years, when it will grow substantially in price and I prefer to keep it until this time.

Although most of the people are using bitcoin for investment purposes, but still there are a lot of people who are also using bitcoin for shopping online and for so many other purposes. To me i personally use bitcoin for shopping online but to limited purpose because of the increasing transaction fee.

My main source of income is bitcoin. I paying my bills by the use of the bitcoin. There is particular application in my country that is suitable to pay bills and expenses through the use of bitcoins.

I can say that Bitcoin was made to use as online payment but because of its increasing demand bitcoin now is an online investment or asset and still a payment through online

Indeed really numerous BTC wallet offers this sort of administration. You can pay charges purchase loads educational cost expenses and so forth. It is a major accommodation for everyone since they will dispose of the exertion for the manual methodology and spare the time which dispensed for it.

I have use bitcoin as digital currency for paying online like I wanna buy some electronic product from the country where have support the bitcoin in their country, I have choose the bitcoin as the payment because it to easy to make transaction where we want to buy something. By using bitcoin digital currency for paying online it will be better than we use the other virtual money like payza or paypal because there are never have trouble in payment.

Actually, that is valid. There is an option where Bitcoin can be used as payment, directly if ot is legal to your country and needs convertion of fiat if it is not. My friend uses that option to oay their bills and it is less time consuming than to go on the payment centers. Maybe in the future, it will be applied to most of the countries.

If bitcoin will have a faster network or blockchain with a cheaper fee then i will consider using bitocin as a digital currency for paying online because it will be easily transferred to the wallet of the people that needs the payment which is one of the revolutionary currency that is available right now that we can really use in the future.

I use more the btc to operate, for the exchange of transactions to fiat money, but also used a couple of times for online purchases. The problem with online shopping is that not all companies, shops, businesses, accept payment with bitcoin and that causes an impossibility to think about making mass purchases ... On this same topic, is it true that some clothing stores accept the payment of btc? I read it on the web but I can not believe it at all.

yah, i use to buy online games like steam games and skins, and i sell them in real money. you can use btc anywhere as on as the company accept btc:)

Currently BTC fees are still too high to use it for every day payments. So I try to use other criptocurrency such ETH or LTC for this purpose  :)

i am paying my monthly bills online using my bitcoin wallet that is SEC registered here on my country. bitcoin is very accessible and they are accepting it on all my bills, lucky me i don't need to fall in line and i can also pay any bills online in just a few clicks.

This is great that you are using crypto currency to buy crypto currency if you bought ethereum and used bitcoin for it then it is good for both of the currency the bitcoin and the ethereum. Price of bitcoin will increase with investment for all kind of people the rich and the poor. Well right now I did not use bitcoin for it but I want to have this experience I know now we can buy all things with bitcoin even if we are at home as all shops are accepting bitcoin in my country.

Lately the traffic congestion and high fees have prevented bitcoin from being widely used as a form of payment. I suspect once the Lightning Network is set up, bitcoin will once again be recognized as suitable for payment and even microtransactions.

I used bitcoin once to pay for a weekend trip in my country. The hotel accepted bitcoin...or it was the travel agency, I don't remember. It was last summer

I do not use bitcoin for small payments, because I am completely unhappy with the size of the commission that I have to pay. It is much better to use ETH or Fiat. I hope that soon the situation will change, since it would be very convenient to pay for purchases by bitcoin.

Amazon is now accepting bitcoins as a cryptocurrency payment method and some of the porn industry are also allowing cryptocurrency to use for purchasing their rated videos. It only means that cryptocurrency is slowly being accepted by different country since they all know that this digital currencies are not bad for the country.

No, I have not yet used bitcoin to pay for purchases, as there was no need. And somehow I do not really want to spend bitcoins, because they will still grow substantially in price.

I shop at several online stores.

These days its difficult pay with BTC... Look at the Fees mate...

Yes, I constantly use it to pay my bills online, and to shop online, isn't that one of the many reasons that is why bitcoin is created? Bitcoin is very helpful when it comes in terms of online transactions because in just a single click you can pay all of your bills or buy things without leaving your seat,

I did not try to pay for purchases using bitcoin, because I read a lot of comments about the big commission and the slow transaction. I prefer to pay with a normal bank card, and it suits me.

Well at the moment that no any shops in my country accept bitcoin or any other crypto currency as a mode of payment it is difficult to spend bitcoin directly without converting it to faith currency before you will be able to spend it. So, in summary one has to convert it to faith currency before you can spend your crypto currency.

No, because I am completely satisfied with the payment by my bank card or online wallet. I do a little online shopping and mostly within my country, where bitcoin is not accepted.

Personally, I did not use such services, for which I paid bitcoins. Now this is not very profitable because of too fluctuating the value. Probably because of this, many online shops refused to pay with bitcoins.

Occasionally I dare to use bitcoin to make transfers or to invest in different online business systems, as long as the offer is serious and highly convenient, otherwise I do not think it is appropriate to pay the high fees that have been charged for a long time to carry out these transfers, although recently I have seen with pleasure that fees seem to be going down and this could encourage me to use my coins more frequently.

Sometime i use Bitcoin as a payment mode for settling my accounts with some of my crypto-enthusiasts friends. Also I used BTC for shoping and mobile recharge purposes. But now I don't use BTC much as payment mode because of its fluctuating price. Its high volatility discourage People to use it as payment mode in day to day life.

Until now I have never used bitcoin as a means of buying and selling online transactions. Why? Because in my country, there is no online store or place I usually visit to buy goods or buy services because I prefer a simple lifestyle and for my own person I'm not so interested in using bitcoin as a means of buying and selling transactions. cmiiw

I am investing it and used to pay for online jobs like hire designer, buy hosting. At present transaction costs are so high

Bitcoin introduced for transactions across border and replacing paper currency, but most people use bitcoin for investment for future due the price volatility. Some where in future this volatility of bitcoin will be minimal and most of the vendors will accept bitcoin as a payment method, on that time everyone will use bitcoin for transaction like we do in fiat.

Yes, I use bitcoin for trading or investment work. Bitcoin give me huge facility. But personal I also used bitcoin for trading.

I do not do it for the same reason. Additionally I still believe that Bitcoin will grow and I am not going to spend my Satoshi for different things. I am keeping BTC and waiting. And I suppose this is the right strategy.

At the moment it is not reasonable to use as payments exchanges for goods online due to high fees and price volatility.

There is also a person who sees BTC as a digital currency and also as a future currency, which means that I think it will be a currency that can be substituted for credit cards and cash cards.

Yes I deal with Bitquin now as a business like the dollar I most of my dealings on the Internet and the worst everything I need by digital currency now even eating

yes it is very helpful at all in saving Time, I do not have to bother queue and get congestion in the heat of the sun to pay online bills and online transactions.

Now it is still quite difficult to produce some not very expensive household purchases in bitcoin. First, the infrastructure is still poorly developed for this, and secondly, bitcoin is now very slow, with hanging transactions and large fees and this makes it impossible to use it for online purchases. When bitcoin eliminates its shortcomings, only then it will be possible to think about buying everyday goods and services with the calculation in bitcoin. Now basically bitcoin is used as a means of accumulating value. If it is necessary to partially use it, it is translated in the necessary amounts into the national currency.

Yes, sounds like that. Bitcoin transaction or its transfer system is not as fast and makes all delayed in paying process, but if all become stable and system transfer improve and all establishment adopt or accept bitcoin then i think bitcoin will be use everyday in purchasing any goods and services, as of now my bitcoin will be converted into our local money to be use in any online payment.

Actually i pay my utility bills with bitcoin, is easy, no fees and everything work just fine.

Today, bitcoin is a form of investment but since it is a digital currency then we can use bitcoins to buy products online. Amazon is one of the famous online store who's already accepting bitcoin as a payment method, it only means that cryptocurrency is slowly being accepted in the community

Been using it already as payment for services, goods and most especially as payment for bills and mobile loads. But most of the time, i used to cash it out to buy for goods where some stores are not accepting bitcoin as means of payment.

To be honest, i have not yet used it as a payment as mostly its not acceptable in our country. Even i could have used it like that when it's price was low earlier and not now when it's price has almost crossed 10,000 dollars . I do agree that it goes totally against satoshi's vision but we have traveled much ahead of using it as a currency.We have to admit it even its a bitter truth. Even if the transaction fee falls low, this situation would change only a little.

Yes, I used Bitcoin many times for paying some bills online, and for buying some goods and services. I treat Bitcoin as a currency firstly, not only as an asset. Its mainly created to be a currency used to pay online and for making deals and trades, and I prefer using BTC as payment method whenever it is available.

Of course I have done this on several occasions. All I could say is that the experiences keeps getting refreshed, thus making me want more of it. For as many that have not tasted this, do today, u are gonna enjoy it all.

I've never used Bitcoin as a digital currency. I didn't do that because the price always increase more and more. I don't see any sense doing so...

Currently BTC fees are still too high to use it for every day payments. So I try to use other criptocurrency such ETH or BCC for this purpose.

I use bitcoin as a digital currency for paying online.but a very few site accept bitcoin as a payment method.I also use bitcoin in trading which gives me a lot profit.

I have been into the crypto world for almost 4 months and I have never used btc for online payments, I hope to use it but I couldn`t do because the high fees and the lack of places that accept it.

I am holding bitcoins for a long time. It will keep gaining value for many months to come because it's not mainstream yet. When it has become mainstream I will use it to buy for things.

No, I use bitcoin as paying online to buy anything. Because still my county, not legalize Bitcoin. I wanted to spend it online for buying something, I hope someday I can do it

yes I use btc as  paying online.. to buy anything  because in our country there is no permission to use btc as our national currency.  but I hope in 2-3 year ATM can accept the btc like a currency...  ::)

What? 4 months? You have like 448 activities which means more than a year apparently. Bought account? ;D

To bitcoin isnt used as a currency because of its outrageous fee for me, I only use it for investment purposes as well as use it to buy alts LOL

Never used bitcoin like this. I am playing different games in steam sometimes but steam baned bitcoin. I don't really care about it cause i always can exchange fiat.

Yes, I bought some physical items using bitcoins, one of my latest item is even a socks with a bitcoin logo on it, I bought it during the Christmas season last year. I also use bitcoin as a payment to different services most likely to the internet service provider, although they not accept it directly, I have manged to pay it electronically, using other apps.


Personally, I did not invest in gold or alike, I don't even have gold bars that could be keep in treasure boxes. But I have bitcoin in my wallets, somewhat I prefer to hoard almost half of my bitcoins.

I used to use it for steam purchase and then they removed bitcoin from the system I think. I'm not able to use it for my steam shopping anymore. I maybe use it for p2p payments then.

Well, yes, we have used Bitcoin to purchase/shop online but those are just few instances because  our main purpose of using Bitcoin is to save and invest.

Because the transfert of bitcoin to our country is very difficult the best method now is paying online dispate there's a few numbers of websites accepting bitcoin.

Well yes my husband and sometimes we use bitcoin currency for online shopping that payments already accepting bitcoin.its help me easier to buy it and it's so easy and more convenient than with cc.i only have to bring my phone without getting cards.

The main reason why people use bitcoin was because bitcoin offers a hassle free payment for everyone. And if the online market accept bitcoin, it was a huge change because theres a possibility that the COD form of payment will illiminate.

In my country this is a little difficult to do although there are a number of services that I can pay using bitcoin but I would like more choice and it would be very convenient to use bitcoin for this purpose.

no .. buy online using bitcoin to pay in my country not really popular. Few people know bitcoin and online shopping with bitcoin is very difficult. I use bitcoin to make money. I hope in the future online shopping payment by bitcoin will become popular in my country.

Maybe if we abide the logic behind creating bitcoin by satoshi maybe the world government would have accepted. We can still make money from using it to buy something online without investing.

Also, the use of bitcoin as a means of payment is illegal here, although it can be used online, I do not want to take risks. So, I use bitcoin only as an asset, I want to make it as a saving for my old age someday.

To date, I have not used Bitcoin as a digital currency for online payment.
I can not wait for Amazon to take bitkoyn. I can not wait to see that Visa supports a credit card and other means with Bitcoin. People really sleep in the crypto-currency market, there are many dinosaurs who are afraid of change. I can not wait to see how far Bitcoin really can please me.

No never i use BTC for payment because it fees and problems. BTC is so old for payment

Why im in the crypto currency? The purpose that why im earning bitcoins it to buy a load that my purpose last year bitcoin last year is very cheap so my bitcoins is come to a load to play online games i dont expect the price of bitcoin right now its so high. I earn my bitcoins in the faucet site and now i know the bitcointalk forum this forum help hopeless people to believe they can be a millionare and me too from the load it become a dream a dream to buy house and lot and a car from online and i use bitcoins to pay for that i know it will be spread for the future.

Yes, one of my purpose in using Bitcoin is to pay my monthly bills , buying prepaid load, buying online stuff without hassle, no need to drive to pay for those. Bitcoin is been a big help for me in terms of doing things easier. Good thing in our country there is a website that you can do those things using Bitcoin. For further details about that website you can visit coins.ph

I have never tried it because my btc is just a small amount before  and it's not enough to pay anything so if my btc grew much more, I will try it to use it to buy loads for my phone and my monthly bills.

I dont use my bitcoin for buying goods and paying services because I have not seen a store yet who accept bitcoin for payment in my country. As of now I only use bitcoin in trading.

There was a time when i used to purchase stuff online and was very much active in some of the sites but when the transaction charges went up,i started concentrating solely on trading and my real life job,since we are seeing a decline in the transaction fees and hopefully it will come down further i will start buying things with it.

In my case, I haven't tried using Bitcoin as a payment online. I haven't purchased and pay thru Bitcoins. This is because my usual method of purchasing is COD or cash on delivery.
So, I usually pay when goods are delivered at our home. Although, it's an indirect payment of bitcoin since I usually withdraw bitcoin to buy.

Yeah, it's happened to me. One of online-shops in my country accepting Bitcoin and I bought Iphone for my girlfriend with BTC. But it's happening infrequently.

No, I do not use bitcoin as a means of payment to buy goods online, unless I want to keep my data confidential in the past few days will use bitcoin as a means of payment, but now I do not need it. I still choose to save and hold my bitcoin as a long-term investment.

Whenever I read about people using bitcoin for shopping online, for booking hotels, paying their restaurant bills, booking their flights with bitcoin, I really feel blessed and contented for investing in the right currency. All these uses of bitcoin in daily life show that people are accepting bitcoin are happy with this new concept of virtual currencies. Bitcoin is soon going to be used by everyone in every corner of the world.

It's unprofitable. Bitcoin has very high commissions for transactions. The last time was more than $20.

There are only few online business that accepts bitcoin as payment  like e.loads and online shops and I sometimes use my bitcoin as my payment for my loads and its very convinient and easy to transact.

No, I dont, i only invest in bitcoin for now  ;)

In my country bitcoin is not getting used as payment for anything till now, so i am unable to use my bitcoins. But in future when it will be getting used, definitely i will use my bitcoins.

As of know many sites been accepting bitcoin to pay or to buy ,  but in my country bitcoin is illegal so I can't use it so I'm using it via online like the steam any many more but steam no longer support bitcoin I don't know if it's true , and back to topic yes I would buy something online using bitcoin though.

Currently i don't have any of the coins so i dont do online transactions using bitcoins. I also find online transactions related to bitcoins are slow.

     Bitcoin as a digital currency for paying online, this may be the issue of the founder of Bitcoin "Satoshi Nakamoto" had in mind that the world needed. Till recently even though I wished for online payment I have not yet used.I used to change bitcoin to fiat currency through some exchange and do online shopping and  I have used Bitcoin  for booking rooms and for travels and this felt for me safe.I also wish to pay bills through Bitcoin and the transactions should be fast and fees acceptable too.

I use bitcoin not only for investment but also for paying something. I usually use bitcoin to buy credit mobile phone. very easy and flexible. In my country, online shops are not allowed to receive payments using bitcoin. For the future, I hope this can be allowed.

It is uses by some countries which they used bitcoin to pay some bills through onlines. And soon it will publish to all over the world because of the advantages that gives to every user. Fast and easist transactions .

Nice dude!! Same here!! We have two large markets that supply a large part of the country for over ten years. They accept bitcoin so I bought everything with bitcoin. Just can't buy food and pay bills with it but that will happen soon. It is great to hear from another bitcoiner how happy they are with bitcoin.
I agree completely with you. Ordering from the comfort of your home with the greatest of ease than having it delivered it to you and no need to drive anywhere.

This is the goal of bitcoin no?

Cool idea. The only question is what will be the rest of the alternative coins. Then they will not be able to function. The fact that it would solve a lot of problems.

Talking BTC is like gold investment in the last decade is absolutely not true, as we know, gold is physical such as banknotes, while the BTC is completely different

For me bitcoin is a complete currency which we can easily use for digital payment on all those places where it is accepted. before that I was using some other payment processors which were very hard to pay but with the coming of bitcoin now it is very convenient for me to pay for any thing and to make any transaction.

Why people people give opinion that bitcoin is easy to use to pay any goods or other stuffs.
I know its simple to use because its not include the third party to involve if we send it to other but its not as simple as fiat.

For me, BTC right now just act as long term investment that i got no interest to do transaction with this coin. Because, bitcoin still could do some large development and the prices could go higher than right now too. Maybe when the prices kinda stable, then i'll use it as payment method.

I got your point. It's quite the same for me. It needs to stabilise and then we everybody can pay worldwide wherever we go without to worry to pay extra fees with credits card and to make the pig banks even more fat.

Imagine a world without a borders and with one, UNIQUE form of payment - that's my dream. And BTC could be the right answer..

Lighting network will perform better and better - just give it time - because we can really chance the world in a better one. I'm sure. Time will tell us - but for now just supporting its fundamental idea and try not to speculate.

Isn't it awesome to think not depend anymore from any states or central banks ?
I wished it could happen - and the trails have already tracked down.

GIVE IT TIME

We are all for the best, right ?

I really believed also that we should just give it a time because the preparedness for this cryptocurrency is not expected that the majority of the people in some countries are adopting it but the developers are 100% doing their best in order to improve the network and offer a very great service that the people can use and experience.

Bitcoin can slowly strike the whole world in pleasant circumstances. Many people are starting a new business that supports bitcoin for payment like alibaba, smartphone shopping app offers some products you can use to buy bitcoins. Many wallets also use bitcoin to pay for online shopping and much more. 8)

Of course I really hope, but in my country still no one provides payment for bitcoin, and in the country I have not legalized bitcoin as payment ..

For me, as much as possible I do not want to use my Bitcoin for paying online purchase because I know that instead of been using it directly, I would just rather convert it first because if I am going to send it in terms of Bitcoin, the quantity that I have spent and sent in terms of Bitcoin has the potential to grow and I might be regreting it for a while. For me, I will just hold it for good investment to make it grow furthermore and just convert it into cash if I needed to do so.

I have used Bitcoin to shop and pay online thrice I think, it was okay, hassle free transaction but with the price increase Bitcoin had during the latter part of last year, I stopped using it as a digital currency to buy anything online,it has too much value so I used it now for trading and investment purposes only.

That's fair understandable. Like you many of others I think did the same.
You know, we are in the rise of a new revolutionary age, so the price needs to stabilise before we start consideration it like a everyday currency. But we'll get there I am totally confident.
When the scalability, lighting network and fees issues will be fixed - we have something to discuss with haters.

For me, you immediately use bitcoin but the cost is too high at this time and my plan is to use Ethereal to buy or sell online. Bitcoin is just the most expensive digital currency because of its many beliefs in it than any other crypto. 8)

yes i do use bitcoin to pay or buy things online. When bitcoin price is high I do use it. But when it is low. Then I just hold untill it goes back up again. I think that in the future the use of bitcoin will be more often.

yes, I finally started to integrate some daily spending in cryptos!

I think it’s too much to just wait one future ideal day to spend our cryptos

I discovered a service like Purse.io that let you spend your crypto on Amazon and similar, so damn convenient!

I usually pay my bills online using digital currencies. Luckily, here in the philippines one of the energy company accepts payment through a bitcoin platform. It also provides less hassle because there will be no more long hours of waiting on their payment centers.

I just only use my btc in buying load,and sometimes i sell it if i have no money to buy my needs, but as long as i can hold, i will hold my bitcoin.

Hi;

Of Course, if you don't use BTC as a payment method it can not survive.

Kind regards

Yes I do. When I am shopping on sites that accept bitcoin I always use bitcoin to pay for my goods because it is easier, faster and more efficient than using banks and other third party financial institutions. We as investors in bitcoin have a bit role to play in the market because if we do not use bitcoin then it has no value which means prices go down and we all lose money.

I rarely use BTC to make payments for online purchases. There are not many online stores that accept Bitcoin as a payment method. And it must depend on the amount of payment, it does not make sense to pay a small amount like a $ 10 purchase due to transaction costs

I don't use BTC for paying online but I use it as my source in paying my bills. I convert it first in our currency though to be able to use it.

It's good to consider it as a form of long term investment but it won't hurt to use it in different purposes such as paying bills and stuff. Just like a fiat currency but a decentralized one. In that way, the circulation will go on and it will be healthy for btc as a cryptocurrency. Personally, I use btc in many ways such as paying house bills, transacting with other people online and so on.

so far I use bitcoin as an investment tool, and as a tool to increase my profit. I do not use it as payment because I assume that it is a bit of a disadvantage. well, but maybe a lot of that does not matter to me.

For now it is not the economy to use bitcoin because it is expensive to pay for bitcoin due to the high transaction costs and the time it takes to get confirmation. It's very easy to pay for other items that are necessary for day-to-day. 8)

beside my job in crpyotucrrecny as trader ( using bitcoin for trading ) usually i use bitcoin to use bitcoin to pay electricity bill and sometimes pay my internet bill at my home. Its is very fun to pay with bitcoin because we dont spent our money to pay it via ATM or credit card  ;D ;D
