The bitcoin in daily life

[gtglener]

Bitcoin is not part of my daily life much.  I get on the forum and I read about what is going on with it all and such and then I go about my day.  When I have free time, I learn more about Bitcoin, but this time is not much. 

I have used bitcoin as a daily currency to pay for things but so far i have only used it for online shopping.
i have never used bitcoin offline which i would love to see the day i can do that and pay with bitcoin.

We are not the same i just use my bitcoins for now for trading purposes and saving profit in my vault wallet or cold storage i will save it for a long time but not all my bitcoin few of them i use for study purposes online i am always buying ebooks and course that i know i can learn.

yes my purposes is also to trade and make a profit, not too think to spend a bitcoin for shopping.
but when I want to shop, this time choosing to use fiat and go to the mall.

I also not do much of the shopping with bitcoin because of lack of stores in my country, but when I buy some services with it I feel much happy with that, as buying with bitcoin is much convenient and free of any issue, nowadays I have saw an online store from my country and I decided to buy some goods from there sooner, and for the trade, I will say I do trade on Yobit and I am feeling good at there and earning better amount from there especially from LetItRide coins nowadays.

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?

I've used Bitcoins to purchase one at a computer hardware store, and then many a times online to buy digital software and games from the humblebundle store and steam. I've also purchased several gift cards with it.

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

I've tried it and trust me it's not hard to explain what Bitcoin is to someone, but it's hard for them to digest the fact that it's a better solution to what banks provide to them like credit card POS terminals. I believe what they see is how it benefits them and how many customers do they get that want to pay in Bitcoins. Also, the price volatility plays a major role, these days Bitcoin's price is quite stable so it's a good point to put forth to people.

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

Not, at all. All my life I've only been able to find 1 store that accepted Bitcoins and it was a coincidence. I would love to see foot marts accept Bitcoins to purchase daily necessities.

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

My friends know about Bitcoins, they own a few as well. But they don't get to spend it much.

i actually did some shopping like a few days ago, to be honest everything went smooth and ii got my phone from electronics shop, that was really great experience for me

Bitcoins is not biggest part of my daily life cause in my country i can't use it in physical shops and also i am doing online purchases very rare.

[Cereberus]

It is part of my daily life. I use it or better spend it when I am low on cash its like having your own reserve of money. I try to not touch a lot of this reserve money as I try to keep it there and to grow it as far as I can. The only thing I have bought physically with bitcoin was a graphic card a R9 280x for about 120 USD in bitcoin. The card was used. I also use bitcoin daily as I gamble just a bit like any other bitcoiner here I guess.

[resilientknight]

I have not used as a payment method yet, but it would be an interesting experience.

[PacePay]

For me it is not hard when I use bitcoin for online use, while for offline use I am unable to spend it, so I will have to convert them into fiat, there are some people around me who are beneficial for me when I have to exchange my bitcoins or when I have to buy anything from them I pay them in bitcoins.

I used to pay by bitcoin only once but that wasn't a market or any other service/store, someone accidentally saw that I had my coinbase wallet on my phone and asked me if i have any amount of bitcoin, I said yes and he was interested to own a part of this amount and we got a deal, I bought somethings he was selling and got also cash.

Not many stores no. But it is like anything used to pay. It is like a credit card bit there is no banks. Miners are the banks computers that is why they are paid. No differance from electric money in the bank or on a atm. Both is a digital number with real life worth. It is easy to understand it.

OP ill answer your questions one by one. I have used bitcoins to pay someone many times since it is easy to send and receive bitcoin. In my opinion, it is hard to explain to someone what is bitcoin and what it can do since when you are explaining many knows it as a criminal money. In my country there are no stores that accepts bitcoin since they don't know it or they branded it as illegal money. My friends know about bitcoin but they don't use it because like others they think it is untrusted or illegal, criminal money.

if you think so , bitcoin future are not bright anymore , it would never grow and bitcoin are just stuck as an investment not as a future of money in digital and real life , you need to change your purpose by now about bitcoin and get to know about bitcoin deeper.

Bitcoins is not biggest part of my daily life cause in my country i can't use it in physical shops and also i am doing online purchases very rare.

its sad that i cannot use it in any of my shops either, i think currency has to be used daily, however it is still not a possible thing to achieve with bitcoins

[Nimbulan]

i use bitcoin for investment and some shopping...

but i can only use it as investment,  now i am trying to do some online shopping on experience bases because it will be my first time as i have never buy anything using bitcoin either in local stores or using online stores.

Maybe it's caused by the bitcoin is very unfamiliar in your region, if you can there are a lot of store in the foreign can accept bitcoin. it's possible to achieve with bitcoin but does you're sure to exchange that every day.

I think bitcoin is not only used as currency. bitcoin can be used as an investment or jobs. although bitcoin can not be used to purchase goods in physical stores. but you can still use bitcoin as income or investment. you can still convert it to a fiat?

The investment aspect of Bitcoin at this point is what makes people interested the most. It will take time before these people will start using Bitcoin as currency alongside the investment aspect. In my view only local stores accepting Bitcoin can make them spend their coins. There is nothing better than walking through a supermarket knowing you'll pay with a great piece of technology.

Yeah just like the other currency, bitcoin can also be used as an investment. Even some physical stores already accept bitcoin. And yes most people exchanging bitcoin to fiat for buy daily necessities. But I do not understand is that you are looking for a job, how bitcoin could be the work? Or do you mean bitcoin could be income. Thank you

I also use bitcoin as an investment. I buy and then grow it and then hold and wait for higher prices then I'll sell it. I rarely use bitcoin as a currency or as a payment option. yeah maybe if there were more stores that accept bitcoin as a payment. perhaps there will be many users will be using bitcoin as a payment
