Bitcoin Forum

What are some of the bitcoin friendly businesses? In what fields it is easy to find people using bitcoin, and readily accepting it as the main currency?
Are there such fields of work or business that are more friendly to bitcoin and bitcoin users? Or it just don't make sense?

There are many business or fields who can take advantage of using/accepting bitcoin but this also depends upon where they are based. Few of such business could be;
1. Remittance service provider
2. Micropayment solution (like rewarding small % of customer purchase amount as cashback, tipping service, to get small amount of donation)
3. Hosting, VPS, mobile refill service provider etc

You can tip using bitcoin, buy hosting, refill your mobile etc right now also but not many businesses are providing this services. And i think there is still lots of room for other similar businesses.

Basically most online macro task accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. Going through bitcointalk forum there are many post and advertisement concerning rendering service or buy goods for bitcoin. You can check google for offer that accept bitcoin, exchange company, forex trading brokers and so many site that accepts bitcoin for goods or services.

I would say the gambling industry should be Bitcoin friendly by nature, as well as the adult entertainment industry, but the reality is that this isn't the case just yet.

They're just the kind of businesses that could benefit from the partial anonymity Bitcoin has to offer.
With partial anonymity I mean that payment don't show up on credit card statements or on bank account logs.

With gambling, it seems like a whole new industry has popped up around Bitcoin, meaning that while most of the traditional casinos haven't implemented Bitcoin, a lot of new gambling sites have built their business around it.

I think all business is compatible with bitcoin since it is the same function as fiat currency.  But at this point, services like gambling have taken advantage of the situation.  People wanted to play anonymous to some gambling site, and so bitcoin somehow fits, to be used as form of currency where they can use to play in the casino

The Internet business is Bitcoin best friend. From what we have seen for many years, Bitcoin grows very quickly because it is suitable on the internet because of the p2p function. Online gambling, marketplace, hosting, vpn, etc.. are now using bitcoin as a priority payment methods. In the future, I can guarantee that Bitcoin will not only spread on the Internet but also in the physical because right now, the number of people using bitcoin is rising significantly.

I believe any business in which implementation of bitcoin acceptance right now gets the best earning in the future when most of the population starts using bitcoin in their day to day life. Also businesses which have dependence over the internet and technology sector accepting bitcoin into their businesses will be much effective.

Lending with proper collateral must be one of bitcoin friendly business. Only because of bitcoin P2P lending has become so easy to have for both lender and borrower. Before bitcoins, I never got chances to think about availing loan.

Any business can be a Bitcoin-friendly business. If you have a website which provides a particular service then u can add the BTC as a payment option. Everywhere people started using bitcoins. :)

bitcoin purpose is for transaction, its mean that the target is selling and purchasing things or service but for now the implementation is still low, the one that bitcoin friendly business is gambling,trading and services( most of them is the computer skills like editing picture or making banner or making program)

Bitcoin exchange service, because you were providing the general exchange of bitcoin and you will feel easy to find the bitcoin users.
And this idea will seem natural to get another development into the other ways.

Yes, any business can be a bitcoin-friendly business, but then it will be limited only to those who is oriented with bitcoin
can use the the business for they know how it goes.

We offer Bitcoin friendly real estate services.

if you want to build a business with bitcoin as the payment, then i will suggest to build your business on internet, because until now, the most people which often online in internet that will know and using bitcoin for daily. if you build your business on offline, then i don't know if there are especially in your city, people will know about bitcoin.

the example business that you can build is you can offering your service to them like graphic design, building website, do some job for them, make a logo for their company. there are so many service that you can offer in internet, use your imagination to think what people needs for their life and their business. good luck sir.

But since it is now popular here in the computer or internet I guess if you make it one of their option I guess you can have more client on that way because many people in this kind of industry uses bitcoin unlike when you use it in physical transaction or trading.

I think online stores, remittance and other all of kinds business are friendly business for bitcoins and can use bitcoin for payment method, in my opinion it is not about the business but it is about the people who use bitcoin, bitcoin is very new in the world there are not many people who use it on real life.

anything that can be online and have a payment can potentially become a bitcoin friendly business. this can be the popular gambling casino thing, or so many other businesses like selling VPN, Games, Hosting, Domain,... and people will slowly but surely start using bitcoin more in these businesses if they are offering a legit service just because of the benefits of bitcoin.

also most offline businesses can also start accepting bitcoin but being offline on a physical store people usually prefer paying with cash or other fiat related services.

there are many areas where bitcoin is not only accepted,but a preferred means to pay for goods or services
firstly,the digital goods business -there are many companies that sell for bitcoins
it could be game keys,programmes,game items,vpn access,proxies,scripts etc. etc.
secondly,you can pay for services online such as hosting,vps,vpn even some ISPs accept bitcoins
the list can go on and on,with bitcoin and digital currencies gaining popularity,more and more companies
are starting to accept them

Yes you are correct dude! But there are countries in reality who accepted bitcoin, like here in my country we have only one merchant who accepted bitcoin as payment through remittances and that is very profitable for us in here also to our friends or relatives who are in the other country.

In my country home right now, we had one known merchant who accepted bitcoin, which is coins.ph have a lots of services those are money transfer through different  remittances.

Bitcoin has eliminated many complications of lending business I agree, but if we analyze in depth those lending business are only easily possible only because of this forum and other sites which are also providing loans are still having many complicated procedures to avail a loan. Still, I agree lending must be one of the bitcoin friendly business.

Lending is great,  With just a right collateral I think it will be good because you just have to sell this collateral if he can't pay right?

And the reason why this sites are having a problem is because they just provide documents not collaterals.

OP should also try builiding a gambling site, online shop, exchanger (altcoin and fiat) or bitcoin debit cards

These are just bitcoin based businesses and I believe OP is looking for a business which will get specialized when we are introducing bitcoin payment for it. When people are struggling with fiat or ATM card payments, they will be finding bitcoin payments suitable for them.

In your list gambling must be a bitcoin friendly business as it has proven already. In my understanding too lending must be a bitcoins friendly business after gambling.

New egg is bitcoin friendly and has been for a very long time.
Dell was but given up on it.
Amazon should because they are the largest market that could benefit the most. They don't just sell computer products and can offer more to a wider audience.

I beleive when you start bitcoin as business, you've
become as bitcoin friendly user. In my country,
we had a merchant thats easy to use, cash in cashout
through banks.And, remittance is fast service.
Thus, any bitcoin business become friendly.
