i think spending bitcoin in a daily basis is not advisable, because bitcoin don't have stable price, you need to wise in spending it, maybe in buying some crypto currency just like trading, because trading could make you gain some profit. so i think it is better to spend fiat currency cause it is controlled by the government so you don't need to bother about the price for the next 24 hours. unlike bitcoin, your profit could be high or low depends on the market value. so i there for conclude that bitcoin is not advisable for daily expenses.

In our country, there are high-end restaurants located in high-end areas that accepts bitcoin as a payment method with the use of a QR scan through your BTC wallet. We also have a local wallet w/c is backed up by a well known company (even the owner is famous and trusted) that is very easy to use, has partnerships with banks where we can immediately turn our bitcoins into cash (fiat money). There is also a feature in that wallet where we can buy prepaid load for our mobile phones, pay utility bills (electric, water, telco, cable) and even tuition fees using your BTC wallet. It is easy to say that we are (little by little) embracing bitcoin as a payment method.
The only reason I see why we can't still use it widespread, is that it is not government regulated, which causes fear to others due to its value being inconsistent and because to its volatility and anonymity, it might be used by other people with bad intentions / motives.

There are mainly 2 reasons behind not spending bitcoins 1) Bitcoin will achieve very high price in future so its good to save it for that time to make more money out of it and 2) Cannot find any place to spend bitcoins directly for purchasing anything and in that case I have to sell my bitcoins and convert it to fiat which is not the best way to spend bitcoins.

To grow the adoption of bitcoin we need people spending it as a daily currency. In my country there is not much I cant buy with bitcoins. Granted not a lot of retailers accept BTC yet but with all the services available now they dont need to. A bitcoin debit card can be very handy.
Nowadays if I need to pay a bill then I can pay any bill via a site called livingroomofsatoshi
Please list any reasons why you could not use bitcoin for day to day expenses and maybe we can find a way.
Bitcoin is not widely used in my country. bitcoin cant use to buy a food in street or in a mall but i think you can use your bitcoin in online payments if you want to buy a gudget you can use bitcoin.

It can be used in my country as a daily currency money because bitcoin is still unknown in the mind of others especially the elders. There are so many problems in my country so I think it is hard for us, those people who know bitcoin to introduce it to them.

None of these answers is valid to promote that bitcoin should only be saved and not spent. No one knows for sure what the future of bitcoin will bring, especially in these highly competitive moments where every day are emerging new altcoins with enough potential to satisfy the limitations that bitcoin has been unable to satisfy, so we can not assume that bitcoin will be worth much more over the years. In addition, in these times it is extremely easy to spend our bitcoins to meet our daily expenses. There are many exchange services and debit cards that are becoming more accessible and charging less fees, I do not see why it is essential that we only spend our bitcoins exclusively in stores that accept bitcoin.

Darkish marketplaces are marketplaces which are utiizd bycroos siply because for one it is unknoen andtwo bitcoin is anonymous as well so that's why they use that as only repayment method. For hosting the first is probably unlawful because it will appeal to criminals as well. kmlw

There are some countries in the world that legalize bitcoin in their place. Those countries can use bitcoin to pay any transaction or payment they have. Some countries need to convert bitcoin first to fiat money in order for them to use it. But spending bitcoin is not really necessary. It is better to hold and save it for future purposes.

Same is the scenario in my country as it has not got legal permission from Government yet and there are also no local shops where I can spend my bitcoins so if I have to spend then I need to sell it first and convert it to my local currency but at a moment I really don't feel to sell or spend my bitcoins as price will be very high in future so saving it for that time will help in making higher profits in future.

Bitcoin is not widely used in my country nor even known. There is really not much option rather using bitcoin for online payments. I do use bitcoin daily for buying my Mobile load. Other than that, I have to convert bitcoin to fiat to be able to make use of it for my daily expenses.
As well as in our country bitcoin is not yet know by everyone. I think it will need a lot of time before we can use bitcoin without converting it into fiat. There's still a long process for us to be able spending btc by itself. I do also use it for buying my mobile load and online payments. Bitcoin will still have run a long way, before it will be adopted by everyone and local businesses.

It will take some time for bitcoin to reach to each and every corner of the world but good news is bitcoin is started to gain popularity now and many people and companies are showing their interest in investing money in it but to spend it directly for buying anything will surely take long time as majority of people don't know how to get it and use it.

Spending bitcoins is not that bad if you really needed that money or to spend your money. In my opinion, if your money in bitcoin is not yet required to be spend then you should just keep your bitcoin and do not ever spend it on useless things because you will just regret it at the end of the day.

One of the purpose of bitcoin is to make transactions more convenient to people, so that people will not need to fall in line, process transactions personally. You can simply send your payments through bitcoin transactions. There's a lot of advantages on using bitcoin. Bitcoin is convenient to use and it is really profitable to have. A lot of people are starting to invest bitcoin because it is really good to have bitcoin.

Hi! The issue here is spending Bitcoins per se. As to my part, I spend my Bitcoin's value; not the Bitcoin itself. How it happened? Well, I convert my Bitcoins first to fiat currency. Then, I use the latter for my needs. The reason behind is that not all businesses or merchants accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Not only that, we all know that Bitcoin's value is fleeting; thus, transacting with it can either encourage losses to those businesses or merchants or it can enable them to gain so much thereby leaving me losing what could have rightfully belonged to me. Simply put, Bitcoin's value is still very much volatile to be considered a fair medium of exchange.

Recently we are seeing that this claim no longer is accurate. We don't really see that bitcoin direct adoption is growing. Yet the price is beating one ATH after another. Bitcoin has become alternative investment method - this is its primary usage. We no longer need further merchant adoption (although it won't hurt, obviously) - all we need is current stagnation of fiat based investments to continue.

The term spending is not accurate, you should use the term investment because at this point i don't think out there you can find people who spends bitcoin on small stuff.

A lot of people are starting to invest bitcoin because it is really good to have bitcoin. If I have money in my wallet and noticed that price will be going up soon, I would leave it there no matter what, so that the amount would increase before I spend. And It’s not good to spend all the money in your wallet ;when you’re spending, you should just take out like 10 or 20% of the money and leave the rest, and don’t forget to invest the money back later when you’re done.

You don't have to worry if you can't spend bitcoin because it helps you to keep them and make it grow. For me, I don't want to spend anything with bitcoin and I'm not planning to do it sooner.
