I sort of did, I was lucky enough to have about .5 Coins gifted to me when I first started out and the price was around 1000 dollars a coin.

So some stranger was super kind and started me off coins, and the whole reason I wanted to was to visit my brother.  I sold some of the coins and bought a plane ticket and was able to see my brother in which I wouldn't have been able to before, was a great time!

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

This is my first time to use BTC as real money buying a real physical goods. 

As a bitcoiner, using BTC online is very common.  Have you ever used Bitcoin as Real money to buy Real/physical goods?  plz share your experience.   Wink



I'm going to use bitcoin to buy a coffee.

How did they accept bitcoin?  Was it already in place or did she have to set it up just for you?  I use Purse to buy stuff on Amazon at a discount sometimes with my Bitcoins.

Is that a referral link? If yes you should edit your link and remove the referral code, because your post could be deleted.

Since now i have not been using bitcoin for physical goods even though i am interested in phones/tablet/laptops.

I didn't use my bitcoins to but physical goods. Not yet. But if I want that, I can do that. There are so many sites using bitcoin, and day by day there will be more.

I have bought a couple of things with bitcoin, but as long as there are exchanges, I don't feel the urge to spend bitcoin. You can sell bitcoin to get some fiat money to payback the credit card: With fiat money you always gain something if you pay later

But I exclusively use bitcoin to do international transfers now, due to its speed and fee advantage

wow your experience is awesome...
i exchange bitcoin to real money in my country,
they are almost instant also...
but i never try to buy goods using bitcoin in its own.
i just saw a few shops accepting it like starbucks.etc.
but only very few.. i hope more shops in my country accepts bitcoin now
but i doubt it because they are not familiar to it just yet.

I'm willing to try, but don't know what shop accepts.

Why don't you few get a BTC debit card? Basically its a debit card that use a BTC webwallet as its fund. It work just like a normal debit card so it's innately accepted by any store that accept debit.

If you find the workarounds, you can use BTC to buy absolutely everything.

I can remember buying a pizza with the help of bitcoins but not directly using btc as a form of payment. It went through an intermediary service who processed the order for me and the pizza went to me smoothly.

Getting a debit card is what I'm looking at right now, and it's really promising because I can buy things directly with my btc in just a single swipe. How cool is that?

Yes. Exactly. Finally someone listen xD.

And online, you can get almost anything by using Bitcoin. Personally i mostly buy hardware and stuff from amazon. Bitcoin usable? Check. Video games on steam? Check. There's sometime so workaround needed. Like right now for amazon i would need a service or a gift card, which is kind of annoying, but it's possible.

Mostly i buy from Newegg and Greenman Gaming, Humble bundle, as they all include a payment processor that access Bitcoin and pay them direction in cash. So i could see Amazon accepting BTC directly or indirectly in the future as well.
