The bitcoin in daily life

[Mickeyb]

Why the recent hike in the price of bitcoin?

This is a wrong thread mate to ask this question! Haven't you noticed that before you decided to post?

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?
How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?
In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?
Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?

I only used for a few things that I think is better to use
bitcoin than fiat.
I only tell a small part of bitcoin and the rest he learned
himself.
however there are many more dominated by the online store
compared to offline stores.

I used a bitcoin atm in Miami. That is about it so far.

[TTMNewsMJ]

Yeah. I usually use it as a payment method.

[Hugroll]

ive only used bitcoin as a method of payment in "non-internet" life once like twice, once it was to get some coffee downtown and the other time i paid for my fried rice with bitcoin once, not alot of merchants accept bitcoin rn. i imagine its because of the price fluctuations

Looks like bitcoin adoption rate is better in your country.
I found only a store which accept bitcoin in my city, even it's 2nd biggest city in my country

Luckily, there are many online shop which accept bitcoin

It's quite harder for a bitcoin enthusiastic in my country as buying as well as spending both are very much harder than any where where else in this world. I feel personally any crowd funding initiative must be launched at least for buying bitcoin like ATM or local bitcoins kind of start up.

1. Yes. I use Bitcoin for all my online shopping. I bought Amazon Giftcards with Bitcoin and buy something awesome for myself on Amazon.com. I also use them to pay for phone fees and web hosting. Just a few months back, I spent around 50 USD buying domains name. Hoping to sell them for a good price.

2. It is very hard to explain to an average person. It is very easy to explain to a tech-savvy person.

3. I'm not sure. I rarely use Bitcoin in physical life and look out for shops that accept Bitcoin. Back in the 2013 or 2012 I saw one shop that accept Bitcoin and that is only time I saw a physical shop accept Bitcoin. Other than that, online articles says that there is lot of shop here that accept Bitcoin. However, I dont have time to check them out. Hopefully I will be doing that one day. .

4. No. I dont have real life friends that use Bitcoin. However I do know a few people who know Bitcoin.

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?
- Yes. Our local online wallet exchange here offered some services like that. I buy prepaid load sometimes using my bitcoins since there are rebates there than buying it in an physical store.

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

Rather than explaining, I like them to experience by themselves what really happens in bitcoin world.

Never see or know some physical stores here that accepts bitcoin. But online services that available in our country are present.

Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?
Yes. They are new. They will soon learned what exactly bitcoin is.

[Operand]

1. Yes I have, via my xapo card, there have been a few opportunities where I paid for stuff just like with any other debit card
2. It can be difficult to explain to someone what bitcoin is exactly but nothing really beats experience at the end of the day.
3. There are a few stores that do accept bitcoin although it is not common, there are a few cafes that started doing so and they also have bitcoin ATMs
4. Very few friends are aware about bitcoin and they are still learning although the term is familiar to more people than a year or two ago.

I used Bitcoin as payment method online so many times, it's already working and bitcoin just like the other currencies ..But offline there is another story, many people even don't know what's bitcoin till now and really there is a very few stores offline using it as payment processor till now, we hope things could change for the near future

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method? :
 I use bitcoins to pay for my mobile bill.
 
How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin? :
It depends on the pwrsons interest. If the person is open to anything and most likely find technology interesting then it can be easy, but tjen if someone has nver been online, I don't think it's best to explain bitcoin yet not until they get the hang of how the technology works on the internet.

In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins? :
 No there is not much stores that accepts bitcoin. Unfortunately bitcoin is not yet known widely so we are trying our best here to spread the knowledge more.

Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin? :
Some of them. Well my friends offline doesn't even know that I know a thing or two about bitcoin. I live in a province and not everyone in here will be interested in such. My online friends does know about it and we are helping each other to understand more depth in the bitcoin community.

[MWesterweele]

Yes,ive already used bitcoin as mode of payment.It depends on the person who will you be teaching,If that person is an openminded person it will be easy for you to teach him/her.Here in my country philippines there is  no store here that accept bitcoins as payment method but here you can easily encash it to real money fast.Yes my friends now is using bitcoin and they already know full info about bitcoin.

haha, that sounds like a great idea but the pizza delivery guys are not the one who decides this because they are just an employee not the one who can make a decision and I think in my country they will only laugh at me if I suggest using bitcoin

Of course, I use bitcoin to buy goods online that accept bitcoin. For me it was not difficult, because with easily understandable explanation and with some videos about bitcoin, then people will understand what is bitcoin. In my country store that accepts bitcoin only a few, and just online shop. I think not having friends who use bitcoin, but in the future I will introduce them bitcoin. thank you

Yes when I bought an account of a game from my friend.

It is very hard especially if they will say right away that its fake or scam.

Here in the Philippines bitcoin can already be used in many different ways like buying prepaid credits or buying steam wallet code, used as payment for credit card,electric, and water bills. And many more.

None of my friends know about bitcoin because they are easy going and not think about what will happen to their future.

[Superbitzz]

not in may area but may be in most of the area the bitcoin is an essential part of daily life. people use it as they use flat currency. may be feel more convenient as compare to flat currency because they can use their bitcoin in any part of the world. i am still hopeful that a time will come when in my area shopkeepers will accept bitcoin and they will do exchange as legal currency.
