Bitcoin as your only payment option

[TERA]

Other than dark net markets?

These  situations seem to be really rare. It hasn't happened to me just yet.
I don't think it will happen any time soon either. Everywhere I went so far, most people don't even know what bitcoin is. Let alone accept it.

if the merchant accepts bitcoin as a payment option, of course I will always use bitcoin to pay, even though there are other payment options?

Has anyone been in a position where bitcoin was the only possible way for you to pay for something (or would have been if it was a payment option)?

For instance, trying to shop online outside of your country, or buy airline tickets, your card is rejected or doesn't work, and bitcoin would be the only feasible alternative...

I had this recently while traveling in South Africa, ran out of data on a Sunday, phone shop was closed but managed to use a local wallet to top up my data plan in about 5 seconds...

In the real world never. First of all at my country bitcoin is know very few and to many of those who think to know it have heard only its name and are such that even don't know well what it is or for what serve. So here it is impossible to be verified such option. As for the traveling I travel very few (to not tell that don't travel at all). So have not real possibilities to have such kind of experiences. But even online (where bitcoin can be king) I have had only one time, verified about three years ago, in which I was obligated to pay only with bitcoin because the website which offered an earning opportunity and I wanted to be part, accepted only bitcoin as a way of payment. And, imagine a little, this was even the first contact of me with bitcoin. My presentation with it. Followed then with my passion for this big invention.

No I haven't been in this situation yet. It's probably because paying with bitcoins is not available everywhere yet.
Hopefully the world will adapt more into bitcoin with the years to come, so that we can all pay with bitcoin without having any problems to exchange.

All my online payments are done solely with Bitcoin. It have been like this for more than a year now. Unfortunately, this is not the case when it comes to spending Bitcoins in physical stores. There I only use my fiat currency since the stores that I use every day don't accept Bitcoin.

Yes for those who were in need of Paypal or Western Union or wire transfer, bitcoin would help them in better ways. For many online earning people and online employers, bitcoin would be their Savior for saving in transaction fees. So, bitcoin would be the better payment option by replacing Paypal kind of high transaction fee required methods.

I've been freelancing (I'm a designer) for more than 10 years and I've never encountered this. I would gladly accept depending on the amount but even I know the limitations of Bitcoin at the present moment so I would proceed with caution. For example, exchanging it (I'm not in the US) is still a complete hassle.

In a few years, or probably sooner we will see a lot of online sites and other web based services to start only accepting BTC. Why? Because it is much safer to deal with than credit cards.
