I wish there was more options in my country (Mex.) but i have to change btc to cash before buy something.

Yesterday i learn about a nice service on USA who let you buy almost anything with btc https://getmagicnow.com/

Would be nice to have something like that here.

Until big payment processors accept bitcoin to exchange into any currency you want, I think it will stall to be the outright winner of completing all your payments.
I don't bother to explain bitcoin to anyone. It is too complicated for most people to grasp or they don't want to be bothered with another method of payment. They are happy with their cash and credit cards. So I say, "Uhmmh, suit yourselves!"

Yes, we have loads of people accepting Bitcoin and we have access to Bitcoin ATM's and vending machines. My local pub also accept Bitcoin and that is the most important merchant. 

All my friends and family have Bitcoin and they use it daily, so it's quite widespread around here. I also have friends who receive part of their salary in Bitcoin directly and that is a big plus.

I think it's easier in the 1st world, because the infrastructure is in place to offer these services to enable Bitcoin use.

1. I've done it many times
2. It's very easy & fast, i don't have to fill many information, pay very low fees & my transaction completed instantly (if they accept 0 confirmation)
3. Stores? There are only few stores which accept bitcoin in big city , but there are many online stores in my country which accept bitcoin
4. Most of them doesn't

number two is the best I hate giving out my infomaton.

How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin? Well, the hardest part is not about providing the explanation. It is about convincing them on why we need bitcoin in the first place. Most of them will tell you that since your fiat will get you virtually everything, why do you need to convert to bitcoin in order to purchase the same item. Then you will have to find a way to turn things around and then letting them know that fiat value is shrinking as days go by.

No I haven't used it as a payment method (only to pay for dollars). I have explained it to some people, and it has not been that hard really, people already have the concept of electronic money.

There is no stores in my country and I have 2-3 friends involved in Bitcoin too.

I have lived on bitcoin and other crypto currencies for nearly 3 years now

The most simple way to explain bitcoin to someone is to have them use it themselves and let them gain a real sense of the benefits that bitcoin offers in lieu of the traditional banking system

I always say that bitcoin is best used as part of a cocktail of other value transmission and value storage methods

The difficult part is to ask them to give you their bitcoin address so that you can send them some coins.

90% dont know about bitcoin?  India has more than a billion population I dont think even that 10% know anything about bitcoin.The percentage is much less than this

[BitMaxz]

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?

Yes i always use it pay or to buy something

How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?

I think in my case is not hard to explain in my friends and even other people..

In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?

No nothing maybe there are some store but i dont know where.

Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?

Not exactly but i explain it very well so my friends known it...

I don't plan on using it for anything mundane that could be bought with fiat. Just like a lot of other people out there, I felt like im using something too valuable for it. In the future when you can get paid in BTC and there is BTC everywhere and the price is higher, then I will use it. Right now is like spending 10.000 on groceries.

That is an awesome example of how we can share and advertise bitcoin to companies. After you did this will he continue to sell his pizzas with bitcoin as a payment option?

There's a couple stores near me. A natural lotion and creams place. An outdoor sportswear camping gear type place. There's a gold dealer that told me accepted btc a while ago not sure if he's still, he sounded kind of wary when I talked to him. He was using bitpay and I'm not so sure he was happy with it but didn't trust his staff to do the tx themselves. Haven't talked to him in a while.
I bought brunch when btc was like 80$ at a cafe now closed. It was the only thing I actually wanted available here. I'm not spending my btc on anything now no matter what though. I don't have enough btc or $ so I'm hodling

[NorrisK]

Im using bitcoin to buy beers at one of the local pubs around here every now and then.

Other Than that, a litecoin asic and soms computer components.

Real dat ti dat besides beer is still diffficult.

[pjsonowal]

Bitcoin has made the online transactions easier and safer then normally what we used to do with credit cards.... I think now BITCOIN will someday take the place of local currency... 

[greatdn]

Why the recent hike in the price of bitcoin?
