Marketplaces in your country/region that accept Bitcoin?

[MMA]

In the Philippines there are no local shops that accepts bitcoin. But online merchants floods the social media selling products and other services in exchange for bitcoin. Filipinos really treats bitcoin as money online seriously and it is well accepted, you can buy shoes, cellphones, beauty products, mobile load, electrical products and many more. Though there are no big stores accepting bitcoin but bitcoin business network is very big online.

i think most of the stores that accept bitcoins are from Brazil. as i have a friend there from Brazail and according to him he can almost trade everything using bitcoin. but i think in most of the areas still there are not so much stores available where one can do shopping using bitcoin. in my area there is only one shop who accept bitcoin for shopping.

I agree with this, the fact is that there are a lot of stores over there, it get accepted and its far in front if accepting it in real life over there.

in Indonesia is still rarely shop or supermarket who accept bitcoin except in Bali because there has been no automatic teller machines bitcoin, but for their own online shop here already many who accept bitcoin, because it was easier for us in the shop

As far as I know there are no stores here who accepts bitcoin, If there is then it is probably too far from our place cause if its just close here I would get the news already . But there is a few bitcoin atm in my country but then again its too far and I have heard that it has a gold like fees so its not really worth to go to cause there is also a transortation expenses .

Even though theres that, In my country we can buy bitcoin in a particular convenience store with a lot of branches here

In many countries governments do not acknowledge Bitcoin as a currency, and the merchants work through payment processors to convert

the bitcoins to fiat, before it reach them. So you have to work through these payment processors to reach some of these merchants. The

exchange I use, negotiated deals with some merchants to accepts Bitcoin and they get the fees derived from these transactions. I hardly see

anyone accepting Bitcoin directly these days.

Most of the local shops in my area of residence don't accept bitcoin yet,but there are a few big online stores from my country which accept it so that is pretty neat.

I hope other businesses will follow the example and enter the world of crypto-currency. Many entrepreneurs can't see it but bitcoin is a great way to gain exposure as I said there not many who adopted it.

Already some of merchant in my country who already accept bitcoin, especially in Bali, where there are a bitislands project there, which you can see pretty a lot merchant accept bitcoin, also some merchant in my local area have accept bitcoin, for example motorcycle machine shop, but what OP said the uses is very minimal.

Mostly people in my country not aware about bitcoin, even the government is not recommend bitcoin activity.
Even though i think blockchain technology can kill corruption in my country.

in my country and specially in my ares bitcoin is still very new. very little number of people know about bitcoin and most of them still not agree to invest their assets in bitcoin as they are afraid that they will lose their own money .

[nara1892]

in Makassar, I have not seen any marketplace accepts bitcoin yet. but I think there is no marketplace that accepts bitcoin. because many people do not know what bitcoin is even the did not ever hear about it.

but in Jawa, there are a few online shops that accept bitcoin. but I have not ever buy stuff there.

[DOGE12321]

I have a café owner near my house who accepts Bitcoin.

However, there is much revenue in the form of Bitcoin. Most people use fiat. I am literally the only person who uses Bitcoin to purchase items from that shop.

How do you value your product so that you are not being cheated compared to fiat payment?and  Whenever you want pay, were you able to always keep the size of your bitcoin purchase low so that the confirmation of the transfer is not delayed for so long?

[Gembul]

Lucky for me there are still some online stores that accept bitcoin, and if only for the purchase of electric or phone toll we can buy easily online.
 Moreover, my country has exchangers which of course is the national language.

In the Internet are present not only shops, but Online Services.
For example Adult Webcam Chats, they are attracting many people.
Does Your local language present in a multilanguage BTC Chat in my Signature? NSFW

My country the majority only use the national language and some local languages / tribal respectively. But they often use the English language in terms of employment.
It is unfortunate friend, the porn banned in my country and could be considered illegal. For example, some well-known adult sites have been blocked by the largest Internet network provider in our country. hehe

Even if Bitcoin is progressing in value uptrend, and development, it lacks of a wide array of local merchants that accept it.

In the US, I have seen several local shops that accept BTC, but it is a very minimal amount when compared to other stores that mostly accept fiat and/or credit cards like Visa.

That is why I wonder, why BTC hasn't been greatly adopted by local merchants and retailers worldwide, as it would have a positive effect towards mainstream adoption of it and other digital currencies.

Nevertheless, I would like to know if there are local shops around your region or area that would accept BTC. 

This is the wrong way to think about Bitcoin. It should not be limited to only "local". Bitcoin is a censorship resistant currency that is not controled by a centralized entity that can move value and cross borders over the internet. So if you see BTC is accepted in a "local" shop and think it is a big plus, it is really not. Those shops are better off accepting fiat. A big plus for Bitcoin are growing markets outside government regulation.

There use to be when the bitcoin price was above $1000 per coin like it is now but over the past 3 years they all the sudden vanished. I think they didn't see it sustainable with it being under that amount per coin. But now that the price is back to that level (well almost) I would assume that they will return and continue where they left off some many years ago. Since they see it as profitable again.

[foladgoad]

In my country, very few people know bitcoin, no merchants accept it as payment. And those who are only a small number of bitcoin speculation, as investment. News media also reported that the news is not conducive to bitcoin, the government is also pressing bitcoin.I think it will take decades to develop bitcoin is widely recognized.

[Loganota]

Here in Brazil there is almost nothing that accepts Bitcoin as payment, the few that exist are in big capitals. The only way to use it as payment is indirectly through prepaid rechargeable BTC cards and ticket payments through some websites that offer this service.

I think it's mostly online commerce websites. Not many "cash register" type transactions yet. Once someone comes out with a debit card that withdraws the $USD equivalent of bitcoin from a bitcoin wallet, you'll see more I'm sure.

[shamzblueworld]

Here in Pakistan, there is none that I know of. Not even online stores and shopping sites accept bitcoin as of yet.
But I do hope this changes soon because I'm seeing quite a lot of people involved in btc now.

[Juggy777]

I don't have any particular shops or sites that accepts Bitcoin as of now. But here there Is words on the streets they might soon consider it for small transactions as paypal does not allow less than one dollar now. Also I have read in India a school accepts Bitcoin as payment. In swizz the payment can be made for shopping from btc. Also the Bazar site that accept bitcoin times are changing for good.

[diegz]

In where I live, I only see one exchange and that's what I only use when purchasing something in the internet since we don't see any local online store that accept bitcoin as it is. In real life, I haven't seen any merchant here that accept bitcoin. Maybe this will take a long time before we could see more local merchant selling something for  bitcoin and not for its fiat value.
