Hey guys,

I've been working on www.btc-market.net to offer Bitcoin users a fast and easy way to purchase products and services with Bitcoin. The site features a simplified checkout process which only collects the client's email address and optional comment.

Right now we offer private proxies, bulk traffic, gift cards, prepaid visa, and social media leads.

I wanted to ask the community what products/services would you be willing to spend bitcoins on? My friends are saying that Porn passes would do well because people want to be anonymous when purchasing them, but I'd also like the community's input.

thanks

Maybe doing research, and clearly you have not if the title says "Beside drugs" and "porn passes". Bitcoins is a little more than a black market currency.

The sad fact of history is that much of e-commerce's development on the web in the 90's and early 2000's was fueled by the porn biz and gambling. Once porn sites and online casinos reach a critical mass of bitcoin usage, we'll see a rise in usage by the general public also.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. If you take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture then you'll realize that it's not what product you're selling but who would want to buy it. Who would go out of their way to use BTC?

People who want to remain anonymous and people who don't trust their government with their currency. Sure the black market is big with BTC, but if you want to create a store that accepts BTC, offer things that normal people would buy online anyway.

Just my opinion

Like it's already said, bitcoins work well with porn and cambling. But I agree what Garymods23 said that bitcoins would work for any product that you can buy online. This forum is full of people who would like to buy those products. Also all kind of services what you can buy online would work well. Big factors are anonymity and also taxes. You don't have to (usually) pay taxes when you buy something with bitcoins.

Scams.

I say this with all sad honesty.  It seems the "product" in demand above everything else is fake profits which exist on paper only.   Just give them some imaginary numbers which increase on a website and they will hand you nearly unlimited bitcoins for you to steal.  Some may argue that isn't demand but given that even the most transparent scams work over and over and over I have to conclude the product that a large number of Bitcoin users are seeking is worthless paper in exchange for their valuable bitcoins.

Maybe a little more useful.
The demographic of Bitcoin is (my guess) mostly male, 18-40, middle class, technical, generally from developed nations.  Products which fit that demographic are more likely to be in demand.
Bitcoin has the advantage of being low cost, irreversible, and nearly instant.  Products which can use those features are more likely to be in demand.

Stuff I have personally spent bitcoins on:

-Clothing
-Electronics
-Magazines
-Computer
-VPN subscription
-Gambling
-Investment (not really a purchase)

Small sampling of stuff I would spend on if available:

-Grocery (gotta be local though)
-Local dining/entertainment/leisure
-Marine aquarium supplies
-3D printing
-Tools
-Books
-Music
-Movies

Some of the stuff on this list is already available, but not easy to find/not good enough selection.

As a someone who sells bitcoin on https://localbitcoins.com/ad/222 (small plug for anyone in Toronto), I have to say that I mostly see interest from people looking to feed coins to silk road, for what it's worth.

Id like to see college supplies....as D & T said, 18-40 seems to be the major demographic. Have a college bookstore type store category for thos 18-24 kids going to college who are more open to experiment to new things.
