Interesting that only 2.5% use Bitcoins for dark web shopping. I thought that this would be higher.

I use Bitcoins for donations, micropayments and for online shopping (digital goods).

Beside of dark web shopping, some criminals also use bitcoin for ransom like virus makers and ATM hackers. Bad side of bitcoin makes me sad. In other side, we can use bitcoin for donations like you

at the moment i use bitcoin on gambling because of it's anonymity , but in the future i'd like to use it shopping online

I don't belive it offers sufficient anonymity.


I use it for saving/investment. I try not to spend any, but it burst a hole in my pocket.

I accumulate Bitcoin and hold them for future, as long term investment.

The only secure thing I would do with my bitcoins is to leave those in my wallet without touching for the days to come. Maybe if i find some site (but sure site) which act with bitcoin I will use those there with the hope to have more. Sure site mean long life online, good and communicative ceo and owners, communication with them personally to know well with which i have to do, reasonable activity etc.

I use BTC for a little savings, to buy online and for gambling.

I haven't use it for the dark markets. I even don't know how to get there.

Spreading it all around on shitty altcoins, where I lose more than I gain.

Gambling on rigged sites and losing it all there.

Oh god I've lost control over my life

Mostly buy digital items from BCT for a better discount.

Maybe people aren't being completely honest, or maybe dark web shoppers don't frequently visit BCT.

I'm heading to Copenhagen this weekend. Flight paid with bitcoins, hotel paid with bitcoins.

I saw on coinmap that there are several places where I will be able to use bitcoins including a Bitcoin ATM where I can get some local currency.

That's great that you can pay your holiday with Bitcoins. A few years ago we could only dream about that. In those days you was happy when you could buy a pizza with bitcoins.

Good for him but I doubt that are so many ways to earn bitcoin in those amounts to do such big expenses. I don't know any business which produce or pay in bitcoin (except the owners of mining pools). So can he share some of their resources with us? Only for curiosity and if secret no name. Only the type of activity.

Don't you know that Elwar converts his entire paycheck into bitcoins through BitpayWage? It is a well known fact on this forum.

Indeed, everyone knows that.
Just the other day he posted a thread [1] on how to use your Bitcoins to purchase items/services from hundreds of places.
