Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: Krang25 on July 28, 2011, 06:40:38 AM I would also like a clarification on this pls
Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: nafai on July 28, 2011, 08:02:21 AM When people say they recovered the cost of their system, they mean that they mined enough bitcoins and sold them on an exchange like www.mtgox.com or www.tradehill.com for enough dollars to recoup the cost of the hardware.
As far as where you can spend bitcoins, other than converting them into dollars, check here: http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade (http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade) Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: trasixes on July 28, 2011, 09:16:56 AM Was interested in this as well, thanks

http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade There is a few hundred spots to start off. There are more too. Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: oakpacific on July 28, 2011, 01:04:53 PM I keep on wondering about the real size of the economy besides the speculation.
Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: Johnny Pizza on July 28, 2011, 01:50:32 PM I think the big speculative bubble has passed now and BitCoins have settled at a steady level. You won't see it shooting up above $20 anytime soon ;), just as well 8)

There also shops that sell real goods, not only money exchangers. The real economy isn't that big yet, but it's growing. uploaded.to for example has announced that they will accept Bitcoins as payment soon. On spendbitcoins.com for example you can indirectly shop on Amazon and buy your new mining rig or books with bitcoins.And I sell other goods that bring you pleasure, see signature.

But I think you should at least have some ideas about the rough scale of it? Like in millions of dollars or thousands of dollars? Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: edd on July 28, 2011, 11:38:36 PM I haven't seen any bitcoin based businesses volunteer any specifics regarding income and I somehow doubt that will change.
Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: NathanCH on July 29, 2011, 10:42:49 AM I've seen people on craigslist mention bitcoins as a method of payment. Yeah I saw that once or twice too. I knew someone that bought something using bitcoins on Craigslist, but i think it was a small item. Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: BidBitcoins on July 30, 2011, 07:46:19 PM I'm getting ready to offer a service I think will be helpful for the bitcoin community. I'll announce it on the projects thread shortly.
Title: Re: Where exactly can you use bitcoins? Post by: En Banc on August 09, 2011, 05:19:21 PM I think that right now the best place to spend BTC would be in real life with someone who uses BTC well, as in personal exchanges.

Done! http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/listing/pm-akordeon-editora/ In case any other merchants want to be added, the Contact Page (http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/contact-us/) is probably a more appropriate way to ask.
