What's ideal to buy & sell with bitcoin?

[lixiaolai]

While some always question whether bitcoin is suitable to buy some necessities such as foods or other goods, I believe bitcoin has long been buying/selling the most essential goods in the world, currencies, including Dollars, Pounds, Yens... by which perhaps anything can be bought.

However, the most suitable goods traded with bitcion?

I do think the best things we can buy and sell with bitcoin are virtual goods and services, such as...

• video files
• ebooks
• online casino chips
• game currencies
• membership of online services

pls give me more brainstorming, to add more possibilities...

I think this is a good choice. since vpn has some intrinsic properties same as bitcoin does.

It's fit for oversea shopping by 3rd world nation citizens.

If you can't send your payment through any other means, Bitcoin becomes the only option.

Paying for online services like hiring a programmer. My wife gives flute lessons over skype, I have a friend who teaches English over skype; since their students might be anywhere in the world, bitcoin is great as a payment system.

I like to buy ebooks for bitcoins.

Stocks/bonds work well with bitcoins.

A while ago I suggested bitcoins could be useful for things like closing on a house, where people today typically bring a certified check.

Of course, there are the illegal markets, where having the anonymity of bitcoin is beneficial. I hear you can buy drugs or hire assassins with bitcoin, not that I would know anything about stuff like that.
