Most of the bit-coiners usually used their bitcoin as for savings.
They want to earn big from it.

I am starting to know about Bitcoin, but I would like to use it for shopping porpuse.

But I think I will save it for later.

Great idea man! How about when you get profit you use that for your shopping. For now, bitcoin is low but when it rise again you can sell it then buy again when it falls back. Profit from that will be your extra income.

That is the right thing to do, buy when the price is low and hold it till the price goes high so you can sell it and gain some profit out of it and wait again till the price goes down so you can buy some more of it, that would be like your extra pocket money, I generally use bitcoins for online transfers as it is very cheap and time saving.

Online transfers? I use it always for a business regarding loading wallets using your phone. Like a prepaid phone. Rebates are good and have some extra for profit. Here in our country it is used regularly by people so it would be a good business here.

Yeah online transfers, I am staying away from my home and I am working overseas So when it comes to sending money home I send it in the form of bitcoins and it saves my time, my energy and it is cost effective as my major source of income is bitcoins so whatever I earn in bitcoins I straightaway transfer it back home.

Same thing I also want to go but the problem is converting bitcoin into fiat in my country. Also the knowledge of receiving bitcoin is very low for my family members to handle bitcoin. So I do not want to risk the living off my family by sending them bitcoin. But in future I will send bitcoin as my salary to my family for sure.

Dude, its very simple your family will not involve in it, they will directly receive the money in the form of fiat to their bank accounts, you just need to take care that you enter correct bank details while transferring bitcoins to their local bank accounts as whatever bitcoins you will be sending them they will receive in local currency.

Yes. Mr. Upsidedown's family doesnt need more knowledge about bitcoin if they will just receive only since they will receive it as fiat.

But he said he has a problem converting btc's into fiat in their country so I will say it's really hard for now. In my country PH, converting btc in fiat is easy as 1,2,3 so even my loved one doesn't know anything about bitcoin they will just withdraw it in our local atm exchange as fiat based on my instructions.

oh yeah..sorry I didn't notice that he is saying he has a problem to convert BTC to fiat and if that is the case then its a really major problem..as converting BTC to fiat is such simple process. So I want to suggest him that create an account on localbitcoins and can check whether there is any trader from his country who can help him out to convert BTC to fiat.

Good thing you got a family that also knows about bitcoin. That is hard though. To make a family member believe that I am using this. Besides it will be new for them and some just want it simple like Paypal or other type of money transferring company.

Social groups in his country can help too if he can found one like in Facebook. I think at least one group it has in their country. People their can help him find any ways to convert btc's in fiat that he didn't know that's existed.

To be 100% honest with you I have a spending problem.. Most of my bitcoins end up going to stickers from my favorite merchant audio. I can't help myself but to stash 100's of his bitcoin stickers and lay them out throughout my entire living space.

Other than stickers, I mostly just buy accounts to stream movies/shows and store my bitcoins like a hoarder.

Where are you living? I wonder where you can buy pizza with bitcoins, that would be great if there's a pizza parlor near you that accepts bitcoin but there is none here.

Buying mobile phone credits seems with bitcoin seems pretty easy right now with the help of www.bitrefill.com

Im from the UK, London.

I ordered the pizza or Takeaway.com They accept bitcoin, I hope they offer service where ever you're located Wink I plan on buying Chinese food next lol I actually like using bitcoin to make a purchase because of how quick it was for me (not having to type in card details and go through my banks secure payment gateway)

Bit refill doesn't list my network provider Cry but soon im changing network when my phone contract expires anyway, and the provider im switching too is luckily supported by bitrefill  Smiley

Same here gambling with bitcoins is something best thing in life as bitcoins allows us to bet with even minimal amount which no other currency allows, So I generally use bitcoins for gambling and also sometimes for my mobile recharge and online shopping but more of that I used for gambling and making some good profits out of it.

Yup! wish there are pizza parlor here that accepts bitcoin for payments But I think in the near future we will see for sure, there is this site that accept bitcoin when you order pizza but I don't think Philippines is included in their service.
