While some crypto enthusiasts dream of cashing out their currency into fiat when their holdings reach a certain profit I am looking forward to the day where there is a thriving Crypto ecosystem and we have a choice not to have to deal with the banks and other financial institutions and be able to spend our crypto in a day to day fashion.
We often read articles on people who have tried to live on Bitcoin
https://www.coinist.io/living-on-cryptocurrencies/ and it isn't easy.
A lot of it, of course, depends on what country you are residing in certain countries are embracing the idea such as Switzerland, Estonia, and Singapore while other countries run the gamut from outright bans to reluctantly accepting it but with caveats.
As crypto gets more widely adopted, transaction fees fall and it becomes easier to use I believe the chances to use it for all sort of products and services will snowball.
One new ICO that is being launched soon which will help towards this is Zeex. This is a platform that will enable gift card suppliers to sell their gift cards for crypto. They have a working app that will be launched shortly after their token sale. They already have partnerships with a number of gift card companies and will be offering gift cards from big name retailers such as Amazon, Nike, Xbox and Starbucks and hundreds more just to begin with.
For me personally, this is a great step forward. For instance, I can buy an Amazon gift card with crypto and use it to buy DVD's and books and other non-essentials but I can also make use of 'Amazon pantry' to buy groceries online and have them delivered to me. My coffee addiction is covered as well with the Starbucks option.

I'd love to know your thoughts, do you think we will have a fiat free World in the future? Do you know of any other solutions on where you can spend your crypto without having to deal with fiat?
