For monthly subscriptions, bitcoin may be more appropriate.

[LibreMan]

Bitcoin subscription processes can be used where required. Invoice payments, club memberships etc. Bitcoin in place can be used efficiently.
In such places, there is no need to wait for payment to be approved immediately. This will not be a problem until the payment is approved.

Yes it will be more appropriate or the one who like to pay with bitcoin may not have to wait till transaction get confirmation. However for paying in store can also be possible if the store use tools like https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ this will just show how much satoshi per byte of transaction is enough to get quicker confirmation, so those store owner can instantly approve transaction with enough fee to get confirmed within next 10 minute.

Bitcoin is still good for purchases ,if the seller doesn`t care about confirmation time and if there is some kind
of a rating system that separates the trusted buyers from the scammer buyers.

[ASHLIUSZ]

That's a good suggestion to use bitcoin for subscription needs. Even with other purchases confirmation is not a big factor, because on purchasing will get the bitcoin into the insight notification. This can be used as a confirmation for the particular order placed for the shopping need.

in my opinion right now bitcoin is the best option for payments that are online. no matter what they are and how much they are, if it is an online subscription that is worth a little or even a monthly payment of a large amount, bitcoin is still good for both of them.

I know a web-hosting site. which support payeer payment service. and payeer is a bitcoin supported company. It is kloud51.com . I've paid my monthly invoice using bitcoin in this service and very fast.

and don't forget bitreffle..

the monthly subscriptions that i know is already applied in porn sites and they have monthly fee for their members. i think monthly subscriptions is really help us to still use the services like internet provider, pay our bills. but for buying stuff or product, i don't think that it will need monthly subscriptions because we don't buy something everyday so

Not only for memberships, but also for hotel room booking, flights bookings we can use bitcoins. All these things can afford to wait for confirmations of bitcoins transactions and shall be best  option to pay for these in bitcoins.

[MadGamer]

I definitely disagree when It comes to monthly subscriptions on whatever service it is , whether Its music , movies or anything else. Those who apply for memberships usually want to renew them and the thing with bitcoin is that Its impossible to do so without manually sending the funds each month over and over again.

As it is today, the banking industry does a decent job at monthly subscriptions. As far as I know if you have for example a gym membership, you don't have to do anything, the gym will take the money from your bank account automatically as soon as you have enough to pay the monthly membership, so I don't think the average joe is going to find any extra advantages with bitcoin in this area.

We should not limit Bitcoin's use, because it cannot perform immediate/instant transactions. We should make it suitable for ALL types

of transactions. You experience a hurdle and you adapt and change to improve it, until it can perform those actions. If Bitcoin wants to

be a currency, then it has to do everything that a currency can do. 

[boybugs18]

clubs would like to transact to banks because they are mainstream and mostly their people on their circle dont know about bitcoin because if someone would suggest that they try to take payment by bitcoin then they will try to expand their subscription to people who would like to use bitcoin as a payment but until no one would suggest they will not do any action into it.

[Elwar]

I pay for my hosting service on a monthly basis in bitcoins.

If I have a choice between a monthly service in bitcoins or fiat, I would choose the bitcoin option. Then I can cancel any time without the hassle.

Yeah. Bitcoin is already doing everything that other currencies can do. But the only missing point is the approval process.
A minimum of 10 minutes is required. It is not possible to get approved in less than 10 minutes. Everything is perfect except for this confirmation period.

One issue I foresee is merchants and services still tying down the value of bitcoin to fiat. Subscription fees imply a flat rate or similar rate. Most merchants I see  have a fluctuating bitcoin price pegged to the fiat value. But since most people still need to buy bitcoin to pay for things, this can't be helped.

I like how many services in this forum have a fixed btc rate. That's the real way.

[zend7]

It's not a problem seller acceptance. The one I use mostly is Steam where I buy games and DLC and I only pay through bitcoin there. Transactions are immediate and hassle free as long as it's sent from my wallet the Steam wallet is updated directly.
This was for the good me.

For the bad me, gambling and porn for them surely bitcoin is the most appropriate way of payment as it conserves  your privacy better than conventional payment systems like Paypal , Credit Card etc.

[sportis]

Of course for this type of transactions like as the subscriptions at any time  bitcoin is the best payment system. I usually pay my subscription to the file hoster; not every month because I prefer the gigabytes plan but from time to time. One year ago I used paypal but if you use the bitcoin once then you forget the other ways of payment. Really, is not only very fast but when the price of bitcoin has already increased like it is now you can see the difference in converting from fiat because you spend less bitcoin than usual.

[erickkyut]

Yes, bitcoin is really appropriate for monthly subscriptions. It is definitely more convenient other than any currencies. It can eliminate the hassle of being in the long line for payment and the time we will allot in waiting if the payment will be successful or not because in bitcoin, we only need the hash number of every transactions for assurance.

There are solutions for recurring payments monthly and it doesn't give any problem. But the thing, i admit, is you need to use a third party.
Couldn't do it with a client wallet. Always need someone, but in future who know if the invent something, i don't know since i am not a tech guy, but somthing like making a "call" to the wallet, or something similat to APIs

I was also thinking about this. People really can't help thinking of bitcoin in terms of its fiat value. I guess it matters for people who receive their income in bits and have to convert that to fiat to buy essentials. If they're subbed to a service that's paid in fixed btc and then the btc rate spikes they'll think of things that they could have bought with those btc. Me, personally I'd prefer the fluctuating price since I live in a country where the btc price is really high (1btc currently worth around 50k, minimum monthly wage is around 12k).
