I'm in the UK. I've got a gyft account, unfortunately there isn't much choice yet for UK customers - they've said that they will be looking to improve this in 2014.
Can we use Gyft in the UK? Yeah, just not for very much right now. We have a very big market for gift cards here though so hope to see that change next year. Which ones can we use? As I mentioned in the other thread, buying giftcards would be a quick and easy way to convert you BTC into something you can spend on the highstreet, but here's hoping we wont need to use Gyft and many highstreet stores will just start accepting BTC themselves in 2014. Choose the UK option and see what there is. Just signed up and there doesn't seem to be any UK merchants currently, unless I'm doing something wrong. According to this UK amazon vouchers are coming soon though.

Maybe you could also try paying them with sex as well ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) , but something tells me this wouldnt work ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) .

If Bitcoin price became stable and an e-commerce giant like Amazon added it as a payment option then 100% yes. Once a giant online retailer ads it thousands more will follow
This is exactly what needs to happen. If a big retailer does start accepting it it'll most likely push the value through the roof and more and more retailers will indeed follow.

This tread is full of loosers.
Your write ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) . Yes, proper grammar is important, but it's not that big of a deal. But sometimes improper grammar could get you put on the Sex Offenders' Register: "Let's eat out children" Vs Let's eat out, children ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) .

I'm a Libertarian Socialist, but don't really believe in this redistribution of wealth. Giving everybody free money wont make people equal. Some people are just bad at dealing with cash for a start.
I do believe Bitcoins/cryptocurrencies could be part of a revolution, and really can fuck the banksters and corporations over bigtime. How and when is up to the people.

Because Paypal and eBay are twats. I think everybody has already mentioned pretty much all the reasons why BTC/cryptos are better. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmvFZXrX.jpg&t=663&c=YcCCvDpqEbt_xw)

i dont know if it will "kill all currency" as you stated it will be an alternative option it might kill paypal and western union though ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I agree with this. If people had any sense Cryptos should fatally wound PP & WU, but how long they take to actually die is another question. Cryptos might kill fiat currencies eventually, but it's a long way off. Cryptos need to become so easy to use and store that our grandparents can use them with ease.

If people had any sense BTC/cryptos should destroy Paypal. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmvFZXrX.jpg&t=663&c=YcCCvDpqEbt_xw)

Do you guys reckon there's a reason/conspiracy theory why they haven't started accepting them, or is there some other less suspicious reason? I personally cannot fathom why they haven't implemented BTC donations yet.

Was is just me or was that Dr. Christos Vlachos occasionally/randomly talking in his native language, or was he just talking really fast? Found it comical either way.

Are pork scratchings not available in the US, or is it just the Mr Porky ones that aren't?

you can post your selling rate here.
Looks like $900 (+PP fees). Are you willing to escrow?

Should I generate a new one with each transaction or is it safe to keep using the same one? Coinbase keeps spitting out the same address whenever I try to move BTC over there.
You don't need to. Depends on what you're doing. Also, it doesn't matter if people know your public addresses, just keep your private keys and log in details safe.

Does Gyft work in the UK? If so, I'll buy all my christmas presents with bitcoin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) +1 looking for UK options... not a lot to be got.
I was also wondering this. I'm guessing you can't, but a service like this for the UK would be great. http://www.gyft.com/shop-for-gift-cards/I asked Gyft a while ago and apparently they are planning on looking after the UK properly next year. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Interesting. It would be a quick and easy way to convert you BTC into something you can spend on the highstreet, but here's hoping we wont need to use Gyft and many highstreet stores will just start accepting BTC in 2014.
