As in if I were going to start a new business TODAY that took BTC (no alts for this sry) what should it be?

Or if there is something already here but it is just still so needed that it's MORE IMPORTANT that counts too

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Household consumables. Food and drink, bathroom and kitchen items. Light bulbs. Furniture. Clothing has some representation, but nothing like enough variety.

Light bulbs are available at CVS, Kmart, and Lowe's via Gyft.

Gift-Cards for android appstores!!!!

I have a tablet and I just want to make notes in pdfs - but I can't, cause I need a premium version, and I don't have a fucking credit card.

If someone finds a clue to make this, I would be the first consumer!

$$$ is all it needs Grin

We need thousands of buyers that support bitcoin, they don't need to actively buy bitcoins, but they always accept bitcoin in exchange for local currency, at least at a bitstamp price

I found out that currently on localbitcoins.com, there are not enough buyers, mostly sellers. If there are lots of buy order there, then bitcoin can exchange to local currency wherever you go, then you can really live on bitcoin

If there are 3 guys providing cash exchange for bitcoins (small amount below $500 each time) in each major city,  then it is done!

If gas stations and supermarkets ever adopted Bitcoin, I might just convert a "monthly living expenses" portion of my paycheck directly to BTC via some sort of automated process in the future. Sure, it's volatile, but losing a month's worth of living expenses isn't a huge deal, IMHO.

How about a travel service that takes bitcoins and sets up airfares, hotels, cruises, etc.

Use CoinBR to trade bitcoin stocks: CoinBR.com

The best place for betting with bitcoin: BitBet.us

Manufacturers (in any "genre" of business). I saw that one guy had gotten his manufacturer to accept bitcoin, but we need more.
How are we supposed to build an economy if the most important part of the chain still only takes fiat? We don't have anything with the manufacturers.

I think it would be nice to pay rent or buy gas in bitcoin.  I mean its so much more simple than using a credit card and all you would need with you is your phone.  Maybe it even gets to the point where we can pay credit card bills with bitcoin to save some time.

Well, aside from brick & mortar shops...

Internet Service Provider, Utility Company, (Health/Car) Insurance Provider.

That's the main ones for me.

Internet service provider would be a huge step for Bitcoin. I think it would be revolutionary for Bitcoin.
