Bitcoin Forum

I was bored and decided to surf my Opera browser wallet d'App section and the first app I stumbled upon was the Opera Store where you can enjoy access to Enjoy access to exclusive, limited-edition Opera-branded crypto merch. Instant payment with built-in Opera Ethereum wallet. I saw a thread recently asking if people has ever purchased something with Cryptocurrencies before, personally I have paid for services using Cryptocurrencies and one of the best ways of refilling my airtime or data balance is with https://www.bitrefill.com/ (https://www.bitrefill.com/).

To access the Opera Store, all you have to do is go to the wallet section of the browser, Click on the D'App icon on the bottom right part of the wallet (on mobile devices) and the very first d'App you would see is the Opera Store, you could purchase a number of Mercs there like branded hoodies, mugs and much more.

If you have been wanting to purchase something with Cryptocurrencies, here is your chance to make your first purchase for little to nothing, because some products there are as low as $11 (including tax and delivery).

If you know other stores or services that accepts Cryptocurrencies, you can share here as well to help others discover the awesome things they could do with Cryptocurrencies.

The bitrefill you mentioned is one of the oldest services to accept Cryptocurrency, I could remember using it sometime in 2016 and it is still standing strong up till now, these days things has changed a lot and there are many services that accepts Cryptocurrencies, many of them can be found in the services section of this forum and  here is a list of companies that also accepts Bitcoin https://www.paybis.com/blog/companies-that-accept-bitcoin (https://www.paybis.com/blog/companies-that-accept-bitcoin)

You certainly can create your own eCommerce store on Shopify and start accepting Bitcoin payments using their payment gateway. That is one of the best ways to create awareness and also encourage Bitcoin adoption.

belovedshirts.com is one of the eCommerce stores on the Shopify platform that accepts Bitcoin payments apart from Fiat.

there is a lot of store start accepting crypto
you can explore every website that accept crypto if you visit some of popular crypto payment gateway
like coinpayment or bitpay in their website they have list of store or site that currently accepting crypto

In my country with crypto i can buy only drugs

Are you sure about that, and what country are you from, I do not think it is possible to purchase only drugs with the bitcoin in your/any country, since Bitcoin/crypto payment is accepted there, there should be more merchants accepting bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for products other than drugs.

If you can tell us the country you are from, then we could do more research into the internet and find out if  there are other host of things you can get for yourself, using bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

MB8coin[1], this project has been running for a long time, maybe the prize hunter is no stranger to MB8coin. You can buy goods using crypto assets. This project was once managed by Yahoo and it is not in doubt, the bounty hunter gets the appropriate payment. but I have never bought anything using crypto assets, maybe if you are interested you can try the platform from MB8coin which is "multibuy store MB8"[2].

I would definitely check this out but just a question about Bitrefill, can it be accessed in every country or they have some accepted telecommunication networks that they accept. Also, can you give us some proof of transaction as i don't want to get scammed trying to recharge my data balance through their service.

Although it varies from country to country, it is now possible to pay with cryptoccurrencies almost anywhere in the world. Many local businesses, especially in the Asian continent, now accept the major ones. I even had a link if I could find it and I could see all the businesses out there.

In my country accept cryptocurrency for mobile recharge and buy gifts cards pay bills for mobile and landline but after India government ban crypto exchange and use in 2017 now we can use p2p platform for exchange or any other services to buy through crypto currencies now i hope India government gives good news for crypto regulation soon.

Awesome to hear man, good job :)     
up in Canada here we have a service called bylls.ca.  allows you to make any bill payments or even send FIAT money to people using BTC, its been up a while as well
good to know theres services like that in other countries. Mass adoption happens when people like you do those things, so hopefully more curious minds explore BTC shopping! :)

i would love to use my coins to buy online but my country right now bans if we use cryptocurrency payment to buying stuff online.
but we don't ban to own/trading cryptocurrency. I hope they will change this rule so we can buy anything using cryptocurrency

Sweet, i noticed that you can also buy "Hotels.com USD" -cards, does anyone know if i can use these in Europe or are these gift cards regional somehow. I know that i can rent places from Europe in hotels.com but just were wondering the usd part.

In fact, that is one of the reasons I still like crypto. If all exchanges should offer this opportunity or any physical store, then adoption is no more difficult.

Bitrefill services can be used in 160 countries, I have being to countries where their are no electronic airtime top-up, you could only top-up your airtime through the purchase of physical scratch cards, their services doesn't work in this countries but it works very well for countries where you can top-up airtime electronically, but bitrefill is much more than airtime and data, they also sell giftcards and other things, you could access them from anywhere in the world.

Wow, I'll take a look on it because Opera is also a known browser.

Well,

We are in the bitcoin forum and there's a marketplace and section that you can purchase with different things. From physical goods to digital goods and other collectibles that you want to purchase. It has been specified to the products that you want to purchase on Goods. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0)

Things like this that should be propagated in the world of crypto. So that the introduction of crypto to the cloud community can occur optimally. Because in fact, now we are entering an era where shopping does not have to go to the physical store, it can be through an online shop. This makes it easy for people to shop wherever and whenever. And of course this must be accompanied by digital payments that are also fast and easy such as crypto.

This is good input here mate. Will check it later, its not surprising that many establishment started to accept crypto. In my country only few did accept it cause of the volatility but many users ate pushing our Government to fully implement a wide adoption with it.

Hoping for more news like this. But tip, if the crypto price is down better to hold it than use it to purchase some services.

It's really great to see that the adoption is improving like in my country there are some stores and a hospital that accepts bitcoin as a payment, I haven't tried it yet but i'm looking forward to it. It's good to see that they have finally realized the benefits and advantages on using cryptocurrency in their business, it can give them great opportunities. This kind of news can influence the decision of other business owners to upgrade their system into a much convenient one. It can also help people be aware that they can finally used their bitcoin to buy some products and services.

That's good! Thanks for sharing it with us, at least we got more ideas where we can use our cryptocurrency in purchasing things online. I also like browsing and  buying things online so I might check that out as well if I have more time...
I totally agree with this... People are now also enjoying buying things online, even me and if only promoted properly, it's a good opportunity for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to be recognized also.

you explain it less specifically, I mean where is your country.
or you say this as a joke, do not just look at the negatives, you can see its development in other countries.
and regarding that maybe the use of crypto is misused in your place.

i use bitrefill when i'm gonna buy game cards and buy prepaid load. There are alot of sites that accepts cryptocurrency to buy things but i only use that one.

Yes! you can use hotels.com everywhere, you will need to select US/USD in the region picker above in order to get the gift card option to appear at checkout, but other than that, normal use.

We some some Europe specific Cards too, this is the whole Travel catalog: https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/worldwide/travel

Except that's not true. I checked and i can't use hotels.com gift cards in Finland for example, they are not on the list when i try to make a payment and i can't even buy hotels.com gift cards in Europe. So this is for us customers only. They were a thing in the past in the eu too, but it's not possible to use them anymore.

So you might want to remove them from your Finland section -> https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/finland/travel/?hl=en&s=0

I just found out about this service, but why are there only gift cards and no normal goods? I would like to see services where you can buy normal goods.

I like you often try bitrefill and bitrefill, including the oldest sites that accept cryptocurrency besides I have bought a cheap domain using cryptocurrency through the forums listed here (marketting), isn't there you can make high profits and trust in your forum account! ?

It seems that the application has not been officially launched in my country, I always feel happy if there are many applications that support the payment feature using cryptocurrency than I have to cash the coin first and then spend it. I hope this application can be released soon in my country and be followed by several other applications.

I found an old thread which contains list of airlines which accepts bitcoin and altcoins as well.

Overview of all airline & flight ticket sites that accept bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3078815.0) (last update Aug 3 2019).

And also I know sites like microsoft accepting payments in cryptos for their services so anyone interested can visit their official website and check it out.

Hey, I personally use Hotels.com frequently in Europe. They are a global giftcard, it's in Finland and everywhere. You just need to select US/USD in the Region picker and follow the instructions we include with the voucher.
There are exceptions, for example some hotels do not accept giftcard payment.

Ok, thanks, maybe if i find a hotel that accepts it in Finland, i will buy one. Still i haven't encountered one when searched trough hotels.com service.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned this here.
All you need to do is just scroll to the Goods section of the forum and you would see multiple services that accepts Cryptocurrencies, This is the link to the goods secrion. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0) and you can also Purchase Collectibles (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0) with Cryptocurrencies straight from this forum.

Similarly, if you scroll to services section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0), there are many services there and all of them accepts Cryptocurrencies as well.

Really? Good thing I have read this thread since I am using opera browser for quite some time and I am not aware bout that opera store with D'app wallet. For a certain, I had a chance to search more about it and here is what I have found.


Security matters the most. If things go well after I've tried it, I will tell you guys soon.
