If worried about where to go for this we all know Xapo offers debit card solutions.

In terms of wanting to, i'd rather keep my BTC stash left in a wallet for for gains.

There are some websites where you can check where you can spend your bitcoin for example in restaruants here  http://bitcoinrestaurants.net/.

Also there are some places in bitcoin.travel but none of them I have tested but seems promising.

If you make every day payments through a debit/credit card then the solution using bitcoin are the bitcoin debit card (plastic or virtual)

Bitcoin for daily use is not popular much. In limited localities people have got the chances of using bitcoin for their daily needs. These days recharge services were found more for the bitcoin than many other daily needs of real time.

I haven't found a lot of local places that accept bitcoin directly but it is fairly easy to purchase gift cards to quite a variety of places via bitcoin and then use it for your every day purchases.

Yeah but for everyday needs it doesn't help too much.. I know we can buy things like Amazon gift cards of different values or so, but we can't buy food or drinks from there, and we can't pay with BTC at restaurants or pretty much anywhere else. It has to become way more popular than it is right now in order to get it inside more shops.

in my city there are no stores accepting bitcoin payments, as it says there which should  pioneered this so that easily recognizable bitcoin. probably because bitcoin is a digital system, and some countries still don't accept bitcoin as legal payment so people don't want to take a big risk if a loss because it's. let alone the price of bitcoin is only determined by supply and demand

Nowadays, not everywhere here in my place are accepted bitcoin, were still in progression of educating people about in bitcoin. Because some are getting curious of it, which is a sign that they're having confident into bitcoin little by little. In my experience, I used bitcoin now for loading into my mobile, money transfer, payment of billings whether electricity, water, or telephone bill.

Bitcoin is not really popular here so you cant spend it for your daily needs, you need to convert it to fiat first to be able to spend it. but there is also wallet offering btc debit card and i think you can get it for affordable price if you really want to use your btc for purchasing anywhere.

Yeah I have the same problem too. Although there are two cafes in my city that accept bitcoin and some small bitcoin ATMs in the city centre, I don't feel satisfied because one of the cafes is about to shut down due to some strange reasons and the other only have bitcoin payment occasionally not always. So I hope that there would be more and more stores that accept bitcoin to promote it and raise people's awareness of it.

Most people will tell you that Bitcoin was meant to be used directly as a form of payment. Not thru some service where i pay them Bitcoin and they pay the bill in fiat for me. But i see no merchants accepting Bitcoin directly. I could not survive only on Bitcoin if i had to. But people do not care. Just look on the price that is going up like crazy.

It really depends on the country. In mine I don't even have any idea where the btc atms are! Though it would really be nice to be able to use btc anywhere, even on physical stores, I'm not sure if I'd like to go around using my btc when I can just leave them in my wallet to earn value. Guess I won't be dumping my credit card anytime soon.

That wil remain to be the norm for the next few years as we see very few physical shops and stores accepting bitcoin as payment. What I most look forward to is for bitcoin to be accepted as payment for mass transit systems like trains, buses, taxis and TNVS.

as of now, I haven't know a store that accepts bitcoin where you can buy your daily needs. I only know a few online stores which accept bitcoin but ithink because bitcoin is becoming more popular, it is poossible in the near future that there are lots of stores like that will accept bitcoin!

I Would suggest you try on cheapair, if you wish to purchase a flight ticket using bitcoins. Use bitrefill to recharge your mobile phones which can be useful around the world. If you wanna a daily life products, Please use Purse.io to purchase the things in amazon.

is there any place you guys have been staples stores that accept payment using bitcoin, because I had to be pioneered, may be slightly users because not many people know, hopefully this will be so many people using bitcoin as a means of transaction


There are not much merchant out there that are accepting bitcoin right now and even if there are a few numbers that have it is too complicated to other people on what bitcoin is and the knowledge of using bitcoin is not that high, that is why I think that merchants for bitcoin will not show themselves right now because there are still a lot of people that hasn't really using and have knowledge with bitcoin.

There are several things that play an important role as to why local merchants aren't accepting Bitcoin.

~ They simply don't know Bitcoin, and in case they do know Bitcoin, they are losing interest due to the volatility. These merchants aren't aware of payment processors as BitPay that handles everything for them. Result - no exposure to volatility.

~ Uncertainty regarding governmental regulatings. In some cases merchants don't want to go through all of this just to add a not yet known by the large public payment option. Too much hassle for them.

~ They simply aren't interested in Bitcoin because they think it's a ponzi scheme with possibly a disastrous effect on their business if turns out that they are associated with Bitcoin.

~ Another important thing is that Bitcoin is more a speculative investment option rather than a currency tool that people use to pay for things. Mentality is also something that needs to change.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

Well, there's plenty of 3rd parties which you can use to buy things and everyday needs nowaday, just their coverage aren't that much therefore some area still of lack acceptance regarding bitcoin in their daily life and can't fulfil the everyday needs. Just if the bitcoin users growing a lot and significantly in short time, there might be some trend about accepting bitcoin into business

it is very difficult to find daily needs store accept bitcoin in my country and actually several time ago there is big supermarket on my country will accept bitcoin as the payment and me as the bitcoiners had really glad to heard that but unfortunately this is only a rumour that they never announce this and the main problem in my country is bitcoin users maybe only less than 10% from total population and legality from bitcoin is questionable in my country so maybe the store don't dare to using bitcoin because they thought This would violate the law

Even if there are third parties regarding in the transaction for bitcoin I think what most people want is just like how fiat is working right now and that would not be necessarily considering the nontaxable thing about bitcoin that the government don't want, that would not be tolerable for them, but I am using a wallet now that can provide easily payment on my electric, water, internet and cable bills that are very convenient but all that transaction process in online but people would still prefer a direct transaction.
