Don't get me wrong, I love bitcoin and all but for me, since I live in Thailand, it is just going to sit there in my wallet.
I'm not rich so sometimes I need to use my bitcoin for daily use like going to restaurant, pay gas or rent.
Am I alone on this or is bitcoin only truly used for buying on internet unless you live in the U.S?
Well a lack of merchants that are able to accept bitcoin directly is definitely a problem right now. However, as bitcoin gains more adopters i can definitely see this problem become less and less prominent in the future.
There is already quite a difference between now and 3-4 years ago. The number of bitcoin acceptors have increased exponentially.
But then if you really need to buy something, then you can really just trade you btc to fiat on a site like localbitcoins and get waht you want.
