I use bitcoin to buy many sort of things in my country, nothing official tho, no bills no shit, but we have a local groups on FB where people would sell you whatever you need in exchange for your bitcoin, and they usually pay anywhere from 1% to 8% above market price- depending on the supply and demand, simply because our central bank is not a big fan of crypto and they consider it unsafe.
a funny thing too, i went on a vacation last month , and rented a serviced apartment i found online, i out of no where asked the guy if i could pay in bitcoin "was thinking he doesn't even know what that was" and he said yes yes ! most differently accepted , with a big smile.

I have bought many things with BTC: from coffee to graphics cards but I have never been able to use it to pay a phone or electric bill or my taxes. That day is not close to being here (I'm in the US). Every once in a while you hear about a state, NH for instance, where it is being debated. I don't find this a deal breaker. I consider one of the values of crypto is that it is apart from the state. |

Yes! here in the Philippines we have the coins (name of the app) which can be use as a payment for electricity bill and water bill, so far so good no need to wait for queue to pay bills, it can buy prepaid load I buy prepaid load mostly for my internet connection. I hope there can be also a restaurant here that supports bitcoin as a payment, I'm waiting for it  |

I've never used Bitcoin for any purchases. I've always thought of Bitcoin as digital gold, and as a form of wealth protection. Since I've been playing on CoinBase, I may use some of the coins there for purchases, and this will mean I don't have to touch my HODL wallets. What is more likely is that I will install a Lightening node, and use that to send and receive payments.

The Philippines are way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to BTC payments/acceptance. Its very impressive.
They can use coins.ph app to pay for all sorts of things. And they even have BTC atm machines.

Yes.
I have purchased a couple of things from people in remote areas of the country. To avoid the fees forced upon us by eBay, Paypal and those of that ilk, we used Bitcoin and it worked just grand.
I've also sold two cars for Bitcoin, even listed my house at one stage for BTC.
It's the future man.

In my post titled; Bitcoin adoption: Don't just sit down, do something I narrated how a barber I introduced to Bitcoin started accepting Bitcoin and that's the shop I have been barbing my hair ever since. Also in my post about The used of Bitcoin in Africa I highlighted online shopping as one of the ways Bitcoin is been used and personally I have shoped severally with Bitcoin although the price are always a little bit higher than fiat online stores. I have also eating in a restaurant and paid via bitcoin actually the restaurant owners doesn't accept Bitcoin but she runs a manual exchange service and when I requested to pay via bitcoin she accepted my offer (this happened last week and she showed interest in accepting bitcoin as a payment option that's if she sees s good number of customers willing to pay via BTC) |

Not yet as I haven't seen any service that accepts bitcoin as a payment here. I would most certainly use it if i saw one.
I however do use bitcoin for online shopping on certain bitcoin accepting vendors and other online services like cell phone voucher refills

In my country there are only a very few websites accepting bitcoin and im personally not interested in buying anything from there. Thats the only way i could spend bitcoin in my country so i prefer to keep it or use it for other services that i need.

For me, using bitcoin for any payment in my country is like a day dreaming. Why? Because of the regulation, the rule clearly stated that the only legal payment method is using "Rupiah" (my country's fiat money). Means that other payment method is illegal, so if there is transactions/payments using bitcoin or any other method might result in a big problem as it is against the government's law.

Well, yeah there was a case after which I do not buy a thing per bitcoin now. In the forilum I saw an announcement about selling of IPhone 5 per bitcoin. Actually sum was smaller than in a shop, if to turn the price in dollars, so, I was hooked and scammed.

That will be my next BTC payment in my country. |

German citizen here! I used BTC once to purchase some toys from They mainly offer electronics and toys, the process was pretty easy (though i can't remember which payment gateway they used, think it was BitPay) and the delivery fast. |

I never used bitcoin or any other crypto to pay a service in my country. I used a virtual credit card / real one, charged with bitcoin, but is not the same Some bitcoin meet up in Roma o Milano offered the chance to pay with coins during meetings. Fortunately I have not drink any cocktail valued today 300-400$  |
