No not yet.Given the slow speed at which people are adopting bitcoin in my country,I doubt if I can buy anything with bitcoin in next 5 years

Why? Debit cards don't exist in your country? You can get an international BTC Debit card and it work as long as your stores accept debit/interact. And then you can use BTC all over the world with online sellers.
Debit cards do not have high limits unless verification is gone through. Since you have to go through verification, you would expose yourself to the risk of identity theft. There are various restrictions on the area of service too, the loading fee is also very high.

Sending your documents online to "verifiy" your account is risky,
Nowadays also the SSL connection is not very secured as advertised and your documents can go to the thieves.
Since we don't have any other option we should risk, but these bitcoin debit cards are good but bit-x will increase its fee/price.

I have only purchased a flight using cash that I sold from Bitcoins, so that is a sort of right?  It wasn't directly but indirectly it helped me out, I don't think they have somewhere you can use Bitcoins to purchase a flight yet.

no, i didn't buy real physical goods yet, from my point of view bitcoin is undervalued so i think the best thing you can do is to hold them at the moment, at least for now.

also i don't know why but buying physical things now with bitcoins is a little bit expensive or at least that's my feel, i think that someone are trying to take advantage of the moment Wink

Even I haven't used bitcoins to buy any physical goods yet as very few in my country are aware about the bitcoins and I haven't found a single physical shop that accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment, so I generally use it for online transfers or when I am in need of cash I just convert it to fiat currency to take care of my basic expenses.

Yes I bought Magic cards with it at ABUgames. It was the first time I used it, because I dont have a CC, and it worked very nice. The cards were quickly delivered from the US to the EU.

do not know one, but I know payment provider mollie does accept bitcoin, that is why the whisky site accepts it. The only find on beer and mollie was this glutenfree beer site: http://www.bierglutenvrij.nl probably not what you are looking for 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

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



Does the Silk Road count?  I also miss DPR's posts.  I hope someone else holds and carries the mantle.

At least in my city there is no store that accepts bitcoins as the payment.
I would be happy if there will be one but it isn't, i need a good (i)phone and a good laptop but its hard to spend the bitcoins.
Even though there are some opportunities to use the bitcoin through the bitcoin debit cards but the fees are a bit high.
