Most of the bitcoins I've spent have been online - some digital goods and physical ones too. I did pay for beers at a pub recently with bitcoin though.

Buying on newegg, tigerdirect, gmg, humble bundle really make anything game and hardware related a cinch to get. I went and got free shipping subscription and bam. I can buy piece by piece at any convenient time without the need to bundle things to not get raped on shipping fee. Smiley

Which site did you get the subscription for? Is it like Amazon Prime?

If you have bitcoin and use Amazon, using Purse.io (ref link https://purse.io/?_r=XClu2O) to make your Amazon purchases with bitcoin is really a no-brainer. The only downsides are the slight increase in complexity of the purchase process and the delays when buyers back out or are rejected for some reason, but you can get items quickly with a discount of 10% and with little delay at 20%. Since I don't have Amazon prime I actually get stuff faster using Purse (if I'm not greedy on the discount) than if I went to Amazon directly (not to mention the free shipping).

Newegg. Its called premier. Its the same thing yes, although it doesn't apply to international shipping, pretty much like on Amazon to an extent. You get access to some specials sometimes. But there's no err. "Get X for free instead of Free 2 days shipping." Also its 3 days shipping guaranteed. Even though it was 2 days so far.

That's good to hear that you bought smart phone using bitcoins, and that suggest that this the beginning of a new era, today you bought smart phone the day would come where we could buy even the vegetables using bitcoins and that would be the best day for us, as want that bitcoins should be accepted everywhere and especially for buying day to day stuffs.

With Bitcoin credit cards (like the one advertised in your signature), you should be able to spend BTC anywhere. Although it's not the same as using Bitcoins on their own  Sad

Its a debit card and indeed, but there's more shops i'm using atm that accept BTC than debit card, because of the whole "debit account is national bound" thing so it doesn't just "work out of the box".

I haven't yet really. I convert all my bitcoins to my country's currency. There are not a lot of establishments here in my country that accepts bitcoins so I can't really buy any physical goods directly with it.

I haven't found local establishment that takes bitcoin, but it's very easy for online retailer to accept bitcoin by going through a payment processor. Are you sure there's no website online that you have access to that ship in the Philippines?

unfortunately i have never used bitcoin instead of fiat to buy physical goods , simply because there is no place that accepts bitcoin nor anybody who is interested in knowing about it in my country.
back when anybody could mine bitcoin at home with their pc , there was a lot of talking about bitcoin in my country but as difficulty grew the bitcoin popularity shrank Smiley

It was my mum's birthday yesterday. And I wanted to buy a birthday cake for her, but when I reached the bread shop, I realized I forgot carrying my wallet and I had only a few bucks in my pocket.  I tried to talk to the boss of the shop if I can pay by bitcoin, to my surprise, she said YES and finally I paid the cake by bitcoin.  Grin

if i go into a cake shop (?) and talk about bitcoin they are going to hit me with baseball bat Cheesy

I never bought physical good using Bitcoin directly. However, I do have the experience of shopping on Amazon.com using giftcard bought via Bitcoin. So far I bought two physical products on Amazon.com solely on my signature campaign payment.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!
