Buying goods or services using crypto

[2stout]

3 years have already passed since this thread started and no bitcoin services and products platforms for merchants were consolidated yet in a regional or global level.

I think it's already time for a worldwide company with the range and status of Amazon or AliExpress to become competitive, while accepting bitcoin as payment, and why not as main payment method, fully focused in crypto, also when offering promotions and benefits to users.

I ask myself how long it is still going to take until happening for real... It would be awesome to have access to a wide variety of goods with bitcoin in a huge platform supplying the whole world, paying affordable prices for products, delivery fees and taking advantage of special crypto promotions, plus earnings opportunities through staking the native token of the platform.

I believe these sort of companies are a bit timid and tepid due to the wait and see what the governmentments' laws and responses to crypto will be.  The big hesitancy is not wanting to be on the wrong side as the costs in terms of fines, bans, and/or business reputation could be astronomical and detrimental.

Be patient and retain it for the time being as cryptocurrency purchasing of goods and services is developing steadily. In Nigeria, however, cryptocurrency is completely prohibited because doing so would harm their economy. United Arab Emirates has begun allowing bitcoin transactions in its airport; if a developed nation like this legalizes cryptocurrencies, our underdeveloped nation would undoubtedly succumb to them.

I heard that you can buy Tesla cars by using crypto. Honestly, it's rare for buying products using crypto because of 2 reasons (my opinion):
1. Don't have a law system for it
2. The fluctuation of its price, its value

I'm excited seeing this options where I can conveniently make transactions using BTC. However, to add to the list:

I'm a graphic designer, and I accept payment using BTC and Eth  
Note: I design on demand, and it has been working so well for me, as do graphics job for people all over the world 🌎, and this mode of payment seems more convenient for me.

So far so good I'll say. Sometimes, I do the jobs and send before having my wallet credited and this works so well.

in my country there is no payment method using bitcoin. I think this is quite interesting but for now I only invest in bitcoin. but if I need money for a need then I exchange some into usd and transfer it to the bank account that I have.

Certainly, It is a good option to use crypto currencies to buy goods and services & this is a step forward towards adoption of crypto currencies. There are several ways for this purpose, details are as follows:

- Online marketplaces: There are many online marketplaces that allow you to buy variety of goods and services using cryptocurrency. Some well-known options include OpenBazzar, Purse.io, and Bitify.

- Some retail stores also accept cypto currencies as method of payment.

- Some companies also offer crypto debit cards which are accepted in many popular stores & I have seen people is U.K using Coinbase (the leading crypto exchange) crypto debit card to purchase groceries items form grocery stores.

Like are you being serious about this  !  Why wanna expend now we're probably getting to the end of the tunnel for a light after hodl for almost a year now. As long as your initial intention was to hodl I will admoniah you keep to that idea as the market price these few days has many some upwards shift though not yet a significant one based on what we know BTC recent value for, but  it's something to hold onto as we hope for closer bull days ahead.
If I were you I would jettison the idea of trying to seek for another usage and give it some time more.

He doesn't look like he is joking and when I check his other posts, I see that he is talking almost the same thing. Bear or Bulls, we can't erase the fact that cryptos are a currency so they can also be used for purchasing and maybe he got a little bored of doing the same thing which was holding. Don't worry he won't buy random useless stuffs but he said he will only buy worthy items, so we are sure that his cryptos won't go into waste.

This can act as a remembrance for his involvement in crypto. We should try the same thing too even for rare occasions only. I know we can always buy a thing after we convert our cryptos but the feeling is still different if we will spend them directly.

Nothing can be purchased with cryptocurrency in my country. Nobody would even accept it from you because the majority of people are still struggling to learn about it. In my nation, nothing is crypto payment, and many individuals still have faith in this so-called fiat money. Most of the time, I just look at my wallet and smile, knowing that Bitcoin is the future. I hope that when everyone is familiar with it, I will have enough money in my wallet.

I have a similar situation where I live, not so much because of not being able to buy things, but more because of how the process of making the purchases is unimaginably complicated for no reason.

They don't have any kind of payment gateway that would make everything momentarily verifiable compared to doing everything "manually." Thankfully some online services do accept crypto in a more modern way, but that's nothing to do where I live.

In my country, Nigeria, some sellers are beginning to accept bitcoins. Especially people that sell cars.
Right now one bitcoin is about $40,000 and can get you a nice mercedes car https://www.2dotsmarket.com/ads-listing/vehicles

You are quite right about Nigeria. One of the fastest growing markets for crypto in the world. See one of the Nigerian sites that accept bitcoin for payments online NaijaSpider.com

this is also what I do, because bitcoin and crypto are still not legalized as a means of payment in my lovely country, so I can only exchange the crypto currency that I have to my fiat currency when I need it for my family's daily needs.

lol I feel funny by your sentence (which I bolded), of course, bitcoin is the future, and what we have to believe is that those who still do not accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are people who are behind the times, while we are already a few hundred steps in front of them all. my country also still prohibits using cryptocurrency as a payment but I believe one day, that will change.

As long as the government still prohibits/does not legalize, we will continue to use this method to take advantage of the income from Crypto Assets, exchanging Crypto digital currency with Fiat to meet daily needs, and maybe the government will continue to maintain its production/fiat currency, and do not know when can make transactions using Crypto currency officially, although there are several countries that can already make transactions with Crypto currency directly.

Perhaps your doing the most you could for yourself and that's good enough but, I'll say, not to have seen any merchant who accepts cryptos in your nation doesn't mean there isn't non. Your very much not the one person that knows about cryptocurrency in your nation. Your active within a region and even within your region, you just might not know what the stores at the corner your not open to are willing to accept.
So yeah, there just might be available merchants but, you've not seen or met them just yet. I haven't really met any iny nation yet but am sure to try if I see one.

Most of the investors have suffered losses due to long periods of bad market conditions We must adopt an alternative approach to overcome this loss Like finding a good project after a lot of scrutiny and investing on it to earn profit.Recently launched a project called  "BLUR " I checked a lot and found the project to be a really great project I didn't find any bad side of this project, it may be my mistake, so if you want, you can check how the project is I have invested my maximum on this project to achieve long term loss.

Maybe it's better to just keep your bitcoin and ethereum on hold, or if it's in binance, put it first and invest it in the staking features that binance has for 90 days staking.

    Then while we are facing the bear market, it is still good that we can experience no headache while we are holding it. At least you won't have anything to think about so you won't get stressed.

You can buy if you want in the current position of the market. Since you want to invest in bitcoin and ethereum and you will not be afraid of losing your money by investing in these coins.  So you can definitely hold for long term. And you can analyze the future of the Bitcoin market to see what level it can reach in the future. So invest in Bitcoin, hold and be patient, you will surely become a successful investor someday.

It all depends on how much you trust the exchanges. And how much do you correlate the chance of earning on them to the chance of losing.
After all, history knows many cases when users' funds were stolen or locked. I lost some money in a BTC-e hack in 2017 (now it's WEX).

Nevertheless, I want to advise you on the tools of earning on the Binance.
I trust this exchange, and even if it was hacked twice, but I think that the hacks only strengthened its protection. Finance offers: Deposits with a flexible rate, Fixed stacking. BNB Vault may also be perfect for you.

Look for the most suitable earning tool for yourself there.

Virtual currency has steadily gained popularity in the era we live in today. Nowadays we can buy all kinds of products and things using different crypto currencies. Especially in today's era Bitcoin is used for transactions and Bitcoin payments are accepted in most countries of the world. BTC ETH is the most invested people in crypto marketplaces and it is easy to buy products through them. Transactions in particular by Bitcoin have increased and are accepted in many parts of the world.
