Shopping using crypto?

[disconnectme]

To me I don't think it make sense for me to be spending crypto instead of Fiat, I see Bitcoin in particular as investment, so why do I need to spend it and keep bad fiat money that inflation is eroding the value away. That is why I am not a fan of mos tof these card related project.

I think this is very cool project. But, still this isn't safety. So I most prefer to shop by credit card, because it's more safe.

Yes and using crypto in shopping malls and supermarket in other countries like japan is very common and even in a small country philippines also accepted crypto payments.

i dont like the idea of spending my cryptocurrencies for daily shopping. This market will keep growing and instead of buying a bicycle now i will be able to buy a car in near future just holding my portfolio )

Now, I am also not ready to spend the coins that I am holding for the stuff that I need. Probably, some years will pass, and many of us will take it as something very usual - to get food for the cryptocurrency.

Do any of you have plans on how you'll eventually spend your crypto?

I'll be using Zeex Their protocol lets you to buy gift cards directly with crypto and spend them with major retailers like Amazon, Starbucks, Playstation etc. with no fees. And they're backed by their sister company Zeek, which is already the biggest gift card provider in Europe, so the platform will be up and running quickly after their token sale.

Here is their website if you're interested: https://www.zeex.me/

In my wallet ( coins.ph ) i can exchange my btc to awesome stuff like gift cards that I can use to order in some shop like coffee shops , boutique , food and drinks restaurant , fast food chain etc .

I'm impressed with Zeex's protocol. However, what is going to happen to the project if top companies like Amazon start accepting cryptocurrency directly without the need for going through gift card purchases with crypto on the zeex platform?

Today the gift card industry is 700 billion dollars and will grow to 1.1 trillion in the next few years. All we want to do is open that industry up to crypto users as well. So the same question can be asked.... when retailers accept credit card (which they do) will gift cards become redundant the answer is a 700 billion dollar no

Hope this helps

I didn't know that there will be something like this which will be very helpful to spend your coins without needing to do so much conversion.

It's easier for me to change money for Fiat. I don't make any purchases on crypto. But we'll still come to crypto in time.

[bezzler]

I don't have any plan to use my altcoins for shopping. Now, my focus is on investing an trading. They are valuable and promising enough to rise and get the profits through the ways. Here, I also actually want to make it as the shopping transaction. However, it is great to spend on investment and trading well.

This is a good question, but I will answer, that I plan to seriously withdraw the money just by buying a car or flat, all others are not worthy to melt crypto.I almost always with my credit card. The reason is to protect from problems, maybe a problem with me. Credit card companies are fighting for their customers. Paying with cryptocurrency, you are not directed by anything.

Its okay to use crytpo as payments, but for me i would rather convert my crypto and put it on my debit card. well its safe to use debit card and its not hassle because you dont need to use your phone  or tablet and used internet to pay for your shopping. I only use crypto to buy some load. maybe in the future  i will use my crypto as payments from shopping. Because in the future its all about digital money.

This is good, but imagine if there was an opportunity to make daily purchases in food stores, it would give a big pump. At the moment, a crypt can only buy real estate in rare cases.

[cryptowonders@20]

wow that is very nice

[dragon695]

I'm going to design a website marketplace. in my website people can create store and sell them and get payment by many altcoin

The OP sounds like an add for Zeex, but still, they are providing a very useful service. Myself, I am in the process of obtaining a prepaid credit card, the one you can top via crypto exchanges, so its super easy to spend any potential crypto gains of yours.

[kskwerl]

now cryptocurrency has not reached the level of cash, so you can spend it on daily purchases. I think in the next year it is worth waiting for the loss of your cryptocurrency, and just save up to make a profit.

Buying a psn voucher for playstation 4 pro using zeek is not yet available in my country, but if someday your coin can be used to buy regional psn 3 then it will be very useful for me.

There's a great video of the Zeex app in action at Starbucks buying a coffee with Crypto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXnBEor6440&t=23s
