Title: How to buy food with bitcoin?? Post by: mochicoin on December 21, 2013, 01:43:39 AM My debt card number was stolen by Target about a week ago. I have been forced to live off of Bitcoin but it's hard to find food. So far I have been mostly using egifter.com to 'gift' myself USD paper credit cards bought with bitcoins. The selections are kinda dismal though. Kmart lunch meat and pizza are not things I enjoying eating for 100% of my meals. Also, getting gas for my car has been a huge challenge. Anyone have some bitcoin survival tips?

Anyone have some bitcoin survival tips? Forced to live of bitcion or you are chosing to? Having your debit card number stolen doesn't prevent you from giong to the bank and getting a temporary card or making a cash withdrawl. You could also exchange your bitcoins for fiat like others suggested. Having your card numbers stolen certainly shouldn't cause someone to forced to live off of only bitcoin, especially not when you can always just exchange it for cash. To answer your question though gfyt.com would be a good place to start with. If no stores in your area are willing to accept bitcoin then you cuold always post some ads on craigslist offering bitcoin in exchange for groceries or other items you need. You might be suprised how friendly people are and how much the community is willing to help you out. Bitcoin is still in it's infancy, it's simply not widespread enough yet to be something to easily survive off of. A few people have documented this and while they were able to pull it off it certainly wasn't easy and there was a lot of basic things they missed out on. It will be awhile before bitcoin is widespread enough that you can use it at most places, it certainly seems like it's coming though eventuallyy in the future given the number of new merchants that keep joining the list of places that accept bitcoin. Think of it back to the 90's and how only a few places had websites let alone offered online shopping, 20 years later or so it's common place for a company to have websites or online shopping.
