Its a good question and I think you are right. Bitcoin is not very popular with local merchants. Barely any people accept it, but we need to spread the word about it.
However, I do use Bitcoin to buy some online digital hardware.
At the moment, I don't think that you can survive without fiat in your pocket.

Right it is one one the greatest, fastest, secured and highly valued cryptocurrencies ever, but aside from making a profit by depositing it, can it be used to buy stuff you need? What kind of places accept BTC as payment? Does it mean if you've got bitcoins in your wallet you can survive without fiat in your pocket?
where are you from ? as theres a diff from uk and america etc i spend my bitcoins on servers mainly and vape gear and some pc hardware hers the sites i use at the mo "if your from the uk " https://www.fasttech.com/ - everything https://www.scan.co.uk/ - pc hardware etc love this site !! heres a good site witch shows where what online vendors accept bitcoin in the "uk" http://www.wheretospendbitcoins.co.uk/How to spend bitcoin depend on where you live of course. However, in my city there is no any merchant that accept bitcoin. I could buy some stuff through online stores, such as electronic, clothes or mobile phone. But none of those stores are near from here.

Me likewise,I have to exchange my bitcoin to fiat for me to have my money.Mostly i just buy those things that are priorities, I don't really have to go on shopping.I use to pay my electric bill,daily consumption and can of coke.Mostly establishments here in our country do not accept yet bitcoin as mode of payment.

Load and a lot more especially if will cash out it. Bought some stuffs before when I'd cash out like a power bank and a flash drive . Though now that I'm not into cashing out this past few days. I make it to a small business an eloading and as a payment center. It was fun still knowing that I earned.

Well there are stores now that is accepting bitcoin. And really the accepting of bitcoin is one of the advantages of it. There are limited placea that will accept your bitcoin. Thats why many bitcoin users must really have to change their bitcoins to fiat.

based on where you live it you can survive with only bitcoin in your pocket, in other words you can buy everything in some countries and in some others nothing with bitcoin. for instance in many developed countries you may even be able to convince any shop owner to accept bitcoin. but in under developed countries if you talk to them about bitcoin they will laugh at you!

From my experiences as a bitcoin user. I can pay my bills uaing my bitcoin, still there are only few who accept them and sometimes they are still confused. But buyung from it, it is really something that is used by some bitcoin user, in my case i can buy loads through it, but still not equipments like shirts.

By now, there are a lot of it already. From my experience, I bought Steam games with Bitcoins using G2A. I also read that some VPNs offer bitcoin as payment methods. Maybe there would be a time in the near future that 90% of the internet will accept bitcoins. Maybe online stores such as amazon will accept it in the future.

I believe there absolutely any thing you cannot buy with bitcoin these days, even if the major stores will not accept directly, when one looks very well, there are still some middlemen merchants that will be ready to make it happen. But for me, I don't think I can buy something online now which I can even pay with fiat not to talk of bitcoin that I wont get to see a merchant in the country simply because of bad experiences my friend had by ordering only to receive something else.

It's quite hard to trust middle men though than just like directly ordering from the service itself. That would also cause some unecessary hassle and added cost to both the buyer and the merchant. Regards online shops, I did had that experience too, buying something and getting something else in the mail. But it depends on the store you buy it from, you can always return it and have it exchanged, because you didn't get the product you want.

Right now, in my country, I can buy mostly only digital staff over Internet. As I know, only a few offline shops accept Bitco0iun for payment and we have only 2 bitcoin ATM in the country. Because of this, and some other reasons, I mostly keep my bitcoin funds in the wallet. I really don't see some good place tom spend my bitcoin for now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yeah, these are good examples. I also had the opportunity to buy some games using steam. This makes things quite simple. There are people who already use it for other purposes, like paying bills or recharging the cell phone.

I think it is possible to buy whatever with bitcoin. But today there are not so many places that would accept bitcoin as payment directly. So if you cash out your bitcoins first you can buy everything you wish, but in this case you will not be ableto skip some fees.

It would be nice if we could use it to directly pay for anything we need in the physical world, though. Maybe enabling bitcoin to be used in the physical world would be the next frontier of bitcoins and when it happens I would be happy, as I can pay anything I need without converting my bitcoin to my currency.

In third world countries, you can buy all the digital goods with Bitcoin. But in First world countries like the USA, you can buy anything. There are many companies and countries still need to understand the value of Bitcoin. I have bought many things personally using Bitcoins. Smooth transactions all the time. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

For me I'm not limited in any way with regards to my usage of bitcoins. I'm able to purchase almost anything (be cameras, smart phones, smart watches, clothes, home decors, RC toys among others) by going through third parties like shopawl.com which is a drop-shipper of banggood.com. You can buy whatever from aliexpress or banggood through shopawl which will act as the mediator and buy them( products) on your behalf and you pay them bitcoin for it.

As of now there are a very limited number of business that accepts bitcoin and its mostly online and via third parties . Let me give you some example like you can use purse.io when shopping through amazon . You should search in google to find the other ones . There is also something called bitcoin debit cards where you can use off and online . Here is a list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410577.0So for your last qustion which is so obvious by now cause I stated that there are a limited number of merchants . Th answer is NO you can't survive without using fiat even though you have a lot of bitcoins .
