Honestly, bills. Electric, gas, water, Internet, house payment...
Reason is two fold.
- It would save me the hassle of transferring coin to an exchange to wait for the fiat to come back to me to pay the bills. (faster/less headache)
- CONFIRMATION - I absolutely hate it when the other party makes "billing mistake" that is never in my favor. Being able to prove my standing instantly with blockchain would be amazingly helpful
That is an excellent idea. I wonder what it would take to entice these types of entities to accept bitcoins?
I'm sure that as payment gateways themselves gain legitimacy, there will be enough economic reason to switch.
Maybe organized communication between interested bitcoin users and their local org? Prefilled forms and contact sheets?
