Buy With Bitcoin [May 2018]: The Ultimate List: Amazon, 171+ Stores, 2 Maps, Gift Cards, Charities, and More.
It’s hard to buy with Bitcoin. Things change.

New companies start taking Bitcoin. Existing companies stop.

Lists on the internet are not updated.

This article will solve all of your bitcoin spending problems.

We’ve got a Bitcoin ATM map, a map of stores that take Bitcoin, a spreadsheet of companies that take the cryptocurrency, a list of companies that used to take it but stopped, and a clever hack to find all the local businesses near you that take Bitcoin.

All updated as of May 2018.

Hold on to your hats… let’s find all the ways you can buy with Bitcoin!

This looks like a great article... still reading, but planning to retweet.

some inaccuracies, but claims to be the best available...

Nice article but i have few remarks :
The water projet, pizza for coins and others were cited twice in their spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/143LY3ayo8XUQoGNt3-KSSkSSjj8Oy5bLg6jGA8peWpM/htmlview
Reddit is on hold afaik so better to put it on Who used to take Bitcoin category (which isn't finished BTW) for the moment.

I doubt this article is fully up to date. With Coinbase changing their merchants systems a lot of places will have fallen by the wayside, others have quietly dropped Bitcoin and not really publicised it, others seem to change their minds constantly.

Still, a useful reminder. My feeling is that we'll see much more contraction of merchant adoption than expansion in the near future though.

Agreed, for proclaiming to be the most accurate list, I see many inaccuracies based on what I know... hah

Hopefully, the list gets longer either way though, and hopefully, people keep adding to it by asking merchants "do you accept bitcoin?"

I'll add a link to the doc in the original post.

Slow and steady adoption is coming into being with the LN developed in the background. I personally use Bitcoin to buy stuff since 2014 with no regrets and I must say that it feels so good to be in charge of my wealth. I suggest everybody to do the same: if you are afraid of "losing" your bitcoins when buying stuff simply buy them again :D
