What do you actually spend your cryptocurrency on?

[Forra]

We are on our way to adoption but need to make real purchases in order to achieve the level of adoption that we need.

Is there any product digital or physical that you would willingly spend your cryptocurrency on? What would you feel good about spending your cryptocurrency on?

If so, What is that something?

Why or why do you not use crypto as your currency of choice?

Is that something on Forra.io?

Recently I haven't bought anything using cryptocurrency, but in past I made quite many purchases using Bitcoin and few other cryptocurrencies. Most of it was digital goids like domains, hosting. I also bought some physical things like hardware wallet and few gadgets. I don't use Bitcoin for shopping often, because I prefer to hold my coins .

Yes, there are a lot of product to spend your cryptocurrency as a payment. Spending cryptocurrency as a payment will make a fast transaction. Im always using the payment option "Pay with Cryptocurrency" on ecommerce website. Im feeling safe because i dont need to put my Credit Card details to pay for somethng

Your website isn't working. I purchase all my electronics from www.alzashop.com. For the rest I usually convert BTC to fiat on my Wirex card.

The site now is working fine. I can visit on the website and see much product in there. I also visit your recommended alzashop.com too. Both sites have a simple design, and I like it.

I feel not good if spending my cryptocurrency now but I do have the experience to use my bitcoin to buy the prepaid card before and I use bitcoin to buy.
But now, I prefer to save all of the coins I have because I want to wait the bull market comes so I can sell the coins.

Most of physical things I bought on local online store called Euronics. Currently I'm using Hostinger service and bought hosting plan using Bitcoin.
I also had mad some indirect purchases with Bitcoin by using Bitcoin debit cards. It helped to spend crypto on shops which don't even accept Bitcoin as a payment. But now I don't any good working Bitcoin debit cards.

[leowonderful]

Mostly physical electronics like computer components or the occasional ASIC/mining rig, though I've mostly stopped buying mining parts recently due to the sharp drop in mining profitability. The go-to for my electronics purchases was mostly Newegg.com as they've had BTC payments implemented for quite some time so I don't have to sell my BTC for an Amazon Giftcard or any other gift card. The rest of my spendings go towards converting BTC to fiat for when I need it, although I've been holding and accumulating coins for the last few months so I've been spending less than usual.

[peonminer]

I have bought anywhere from scrap gold, to other crypto, to computer parts, to software, subscriptions, gift cards, almost even used it for food one time. LoL the possibilities are endless really. Almost everywhere has a way to accept crypto now. Especially website and individuals. I would say my favorite buys by far were when I bought scrap gold years ago and recently when I bought a trading bot. There's references on my account's trust if you would like to see links. I have also taken crypto loans and repaid them which is a form of interest based transacting for credit.

[legendster]

Honestly, I've been living off crypto since late 2017.. sure, seen a few ups and downs but I'm exchanging crypto on a daily basis through p2p connections / localbitcoin / localethereum and using it as my main income.

[buwaytress]

Take a look at daily spending habits of people and this gives you an idea. I use bitcoin to pay for food delivery every week at least once. Granted, this is a Bitpay 3rd-party merchant... so it's not like I'm exactly paying a pizza shop bitcoin. But I think it's a start and when shops do see their bitcoin orders go up, they might one day want to take it themselves (and who knows their own lightning shop so they don't bother with Bitpay's ridiculous confirmation setup).

Shopping is a bit more problematic, but I'm not really an online shopper. I know some people who do tiny buys every now and then that adds up in a month! Make-up, clothes, accessories especially.

Same here, I wouldn't exactly calling it living off crypto, though. That's for someone who bought all his coins years ago and living on it.

I've been earning only in crypto since late 2017/early 2018. Up until Q1 2016, I was 100% earning in fiat. In fact, if you discount the few clients who insisted paying me through paypal, I was actually earning in crypto since end of 2016.

My trading (selling, 90% of the time) takes place about every week, and with a bigger or more frequent one times around 3rd week of month to pay off bills.

P2P most of my trades too.

[Zadicar]

When the time i do engage in crypto back into those newbie days when i do just start.I didnt tend to use it up on buying things since my only goal is to accumulate as much as i
can either by means of earning or simply using up my fiat. Exchanging it to fiat do happen when im in need but talking on buying sorts of things then i do simply use my fiat rather than my coins
since i do have in my mind that price might shoot up later on and you will surely regret. For now, the first time i do make use of it when buying online codes of particular platform like "steam"
 and this do only being used for my hobby not for my living dependently.

[hugeblack]

Most people buy digital products or gift cards, as most of the spending is on those products and rarely used for everyday needs.
The most important thing before the products is the warranty and it's reduction rate so there must be a continuous and experienced support team.

By the way, why the address does not seem to be true, I looked at maps and did not show me any real result. "208 Lenox Ave, Westfield, NJ 07090"

It is a real address, We are above a ups store.

[dothebeats]

Back then, game codes and digital gifts for myself and my friends. Ever since most game outlets that I used to buy gift cards and game codes decided to stop receiving bitcoin payments, I shifted my interest over to Jalapenos and Habanero Chili sauces that they ship from Cali. I got a local dealer in there through a friend and we've maintained exclusive relations and the owner is looking into fully integrating crypto payments in the near future. Also, a local pub accepts bitcoin for drinks and snacks, and that's my go-to place whenever I feel bored in the weekends and have nothing lined up to do for the next couple of days.

[therhslv]

My favorite thing i buy with crypto is another crypto =D But usually i only spend on bills , food in case im short in FIAT . But i preffer holding till im really happy with it , then i can think of some spending and investing somewhere more =]

[eternalgloom]

If you're in Europe, I can wholeheartedly recommend using Bitcoin on any of the takeaway.com websites.
For those of you who haven't heard about this service, they do food deliveries in many different European countries.

I literally spend some of my Bitcoins there on a weekly basis and they've been accepting Bitcoin for years now.

Here's a current order that I'm making at Domino's



It's in Dutch, but you get the gist...

That's cool. In my country, there's no service yet such as yours where you can purchase and have food delivered thru the payment of BTC but we have a local wallet provider which allows you to pay your shopping online with BTC.



Basically you pay the third party online payment service with your wallet and your BTC is automatically converted into fiat upon payment but it's pretty convenient. They provide a bunch of other services so you can pay your bills online, buy load for your network, or transfer directly to your bank account (but in fiat of course). I find it really convenient and many people from my country use this platform, even for those who don't own BTC or any crypto.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Since my country still prohibit cryptocurrency to use as payment system then I haven't try to buy a stuff that use bitcoin or altcoin so far. Even more I don't know yet how to make transactions with bitcoin once one of merchant accepts payments using bitcoin.

I do believe this is an imposition in my circumstances, when everyone already knows how to use bitcoin or at least they know how bitcoin works properly.

However recently, I have a brother who is working overseas. In the last few months he gave me money through bitcoin, and I like it very much, compared to before he sent money through WU which took about 3 days to bring the money.

[vv181]

I once bought a physical product (computer parts) from my close relative's since actually it is prohibited to use Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies as a way of payments in my country(Indonesia). Mainly I bought digital goods like a gift card, mobile data, and especially hosting and domain.

One thing I don't like is the majority of the service provider that based on Indonesia are forced us to verify our identity first before we could make a purchase, that makes me forced to find a privacy-oriented service provider.

[crairezx20]

What I see for the most crypto user's who spend their crypto are those people who spend their crypto for a living to the fact that they choose this as a source of income but some of them they spend their crypto for trading and buying things with rebates which is one of the advantages of using crypto.

For me, on my own, both living and buying digital products online where I spent and earn crypto there are some online store that accepts crypto as payment. The good thing of using crypto as payment is that they don't need more info or any KYC verification when buying a service or digital product.

[azkielt]

I would like to buy the cheapest pro subscription of windscribe vpn, but my country is very poor and we don't have any way to transfer cash into digital money to buy some crypto and pait, even a full salary per month is like 20USD, so I depend only from faucets like coinpot

It depends on where we live. You can do all possible things with crypto when its legalised by the respective government. Still, beyond the barriers, if needed, we do shop around using crypto currencies on sites crypto payment allowed. Mostly, we convert into fiats and do all requirements.

[eternalgloom]

Sadly they do not accept Bitcoins directly, but they use a payment processor like Bitpay.
It's not perfect, but I'm already glad that they accept Bitcoin in the first place.

[aioc]

I'm looking for the days that my web host will use Cryptocurrency, I cannot transfer all my sites to other web host, because they offer top notch service, I'm glad that I can still fund my Namecheap account with Bitcoin, hopefully, all online products and services will integrate Cryptocurrency.

If you cant use crypto , why not convert your crypto to the fiat or to the payment method that they accept ?  Simple as that .  dont stress your self for the things that can be done easily  .

Anyway in my case i spend my crypto for top upping  my steam account  because nowadays many third party websites are now offering this kind of service  .

[gentlemand]

In recent times I have bought - three computers, several flights, untold amounts of hard disks as I have a weird storage fetish, VPN, usenet and seedbox accounts, domain name and hosting and no doubt plenty more. I'd prefer it if more places were accepting and not converting but that's not practical for now.

You tend to be more spend happy if you earn in BTC.

[proTECH77]

In my country there is no platform that's currently accepting Bitcoin as it method of payment rather converting from digital to fiat before an individual will be able to make any transaction. Though the government has been working on legalizing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general which when implement will boost the country economy.

[audaciousbeing]

I virtually buy everything I need with crypto currency because I don't see the challenges of stores not accepting bitcoin as an excuse not to use it. What I simply do is to convert to fiat which is always available then get what I wish without any bottlenecks whatsoever. However, with a service like yours, its expected that the middle process would likely be eliminated and would make transaction with crypto more seamless.

[sheenshane]

Nice information about how i can spend my BC. It was nice information. I have never seen such this type of spending BC option.Thanks for sharing here.When I don't mine BC I work as a writer at https://www.customessays.co.uk to provide essay writing help for the students. Blogging is my passion, interest for writing from childhood made me join this job .

What is BC?
I think you are not working as a writer but all I can say is welcome here in the forum.

Well, back to the OP's topic, I guess as of now when the market is in bearish trend no one spends their Bitcoin. Unless if it is a necessary thing but usually they keep Bitcoin sleep into the wallet and waiting a right time to spend.
But here in our country BTC convert to fiat and then spend fiat to buy stuff.

Most likely BTC but BC is maybe BitcoinCash.. I don't know  

In the current market situation I try to avoid any spendings in BTC, just to think about it could be x10 in value a few years later.  
Instead I try to collect as much as possible in BTC while price ist still low.

BTC can still be used for spending things later. And more stores will accept BTC.

when he say bc he means bitcoins   { BC - BitCoin }   .  bitcoincash is short for bch  

anyways   ,btc is the real shortcut for bitcoin not bc  but if thats what he like then okay , no problem with that  .

nice . i do also do the same  . i regret much if i will use my btc for spending because i believe that its value can climb high in the future  .

[susila_bai]

I dont spend as their is no physical store to spend and purchasing from online is costly as delivery charges are high, so i just keep invested and when ever i am in financial problem i just convert it to fiat currency and use it.

[technoloverr]

I have little use of crypto as a payment option, but if there's no choice — it's not a big deal for me to buy smth for eth/btc. Already bought a couple of gadgets via ModulTrade, there're no problems with delivery and pricing policies.

[yeah_that_guy]

I can't say I often use crypto when it comes to payment, but there were some cases. I bought some digital assets like VPN, hosting, smth like this. At the moment I don't need to buy physical goods through crypto, but who knows what I can afford then

[BitHodler]

Our local fast-food delivery service accepts Bitcoin and I'm really hooked to it. It's not exactly a healthy habit, but it's super convenient. The best thing is that they accept payments instantly if you add an appropriate fee.

Other than foods I spend my coins mostly on renewing my VPN subscription, gift cards, etc. The basic things we all tend to spend our coins on. It would be cooler to spend coins with rising prices, but that's something we can't do anything about.

[Capt00]

The fast-food chain now has started to accept as a payment system just like Mcdo and Jollibee, via QR code they can send payment using their Bitcoin. But for me, in this market situation, I would rather keep my Bitcoin than to expend unnecessary things just like having a bill in fast food which you can pay it with fiat.

[1Referee]

I haven't really spent that many coins lately, just had a wonderful time donating money to a wide variety of people through Lightning, testing out some games, feeding chickens, etc. It has taken most of my time and I really enjoy utilizing Lightning. I wish there were more services and merchants on board, but that's just a matter of time. I'm so excited that my excitement gets too far ahead some times, lol.

What I do want to see is more local brick and mortar stores coming on board. I want to walk into stores settling my transactions in Bitcoin. Money should be used as money, and Bitcoin definitely is money.

[Whosdaddy]

Cryptocurrencies are not originally meant for purchases of commodities but are meant for investing online, trading on with them, Gambling onto something, or something similar to these.

Use of cryptocurrencies in buying/selling commodities is a plus point for cryptocurrencies and might act as a major source of promotion. Cryptocurrencies makes payments easier and with some minor changes can be set to use in even offline payments.

That's where we suck, the adoption is too small to really use BTC as an alternative currency. Like many other users, I spend my coins to buy stuff online VPS, gift cards, services but what I want is to be able to pay the supermarket, the bills, and other daily needs. Still then, like many users too, I sell to fiat

[ricardobs]

There already are some stores who have started accepting cryptocurrencies in the form of their own coin or with BTC.
It is really good to see cryptocurrencies progressing in every field and also buying some commodities with our bitcoins would be a better use of bitcoins.

I have bought some collectibles with my bitcoins until now but I have not really visited any store and made purchase with my cryptocurrency. I would indeed love to do so and I really hope that most of the countries soon start accepting cryptos.

I think in some countries, there are stores readily available to accept crypto as payment. Most are online retailers. There's already a variety to choose from: from VPN services, to pizza or even home goods. If you're really into those kind of services, then I suggest you check out this list.

It's most probable that in the near future, more retail merchant stores will be able to provide crypto as a payment method. They can now take up a terminal to cater to such transactions such as the use of cash app since they've begun the integration of Bitcoin in the early 2018.

IMO, more stores should already start adopting crypto since there will soon be a demand for it. We may not be feeling it now but its only because those who are interested to purchase with bitcoins don't have that much option where to buy.

There may be no platform that accepts bitcoin as an alternative method but at least there is an option to convert your bitcoins to fiat directly. Furthermore, there are also services that let you pay (i.e. mobile load, game currencies, etc.) which makes everything convenient.
We might be using the same exchange platform and I think it is remarkable that there are lots of options available.

I treat my bitcoins as my alternative income. I only use them whenever I ran out of cash but I always save a portion of it for future purposes/investments.

[icalical]

To be honest I have not buy anything using Cryptocurrency, at least directly. I do earn and received payment in Bitcoin and some other cryptos, but when I spend them, I still need to convert them to Fiat money. The main reason is that I mostly buy all my needs locally (not online), and in here Bitcoin and cryptos are still not legal, or at least not yet regulated, so I can't find any shop or store that accept Cryptocurrency.

I love touse the bitcoins and paid with bitcoin for some people for their efforts as well as the products I get from them.

[coin-investor]

Right now I'm using cryptocurrency to buy memberships and buying domains and of course, paying my bills mostly online service because cryptocurrency is intended to use this way, but I'm also buying my grocery by exchanging my cryptos to our local currency.

[proTECH77]

Last week i called an old friend who was into cryptocurrency some years back, confiding him if there has been any services around the location that accept cryptocurrency as a method of payment; was shocked when he told me his new career as a  Barba, he further told me that cryptocurrency is one of the method of payment. Lets those in the front line(Bitcointalk.org Members) show good examples and others will follow suit.

What kind of service do you render? please accept cryptocurrency as a method of payment

Some people can directly use bitcoin in their city but some people cannot because not all country have an offline store which wants to accept cryptocurrency as the payment. I follow what he did, and before I use the crypto, I need to convert into my local fiat and then I can use that money to buy something.

But I think in the future when the cryptocurrency is accepted in all country, and I can use crypto to buy something without converting into local fiat. With crypto, we have so many alternative coins to be used as the payment, and it's not limit for bitcoin only.

[Forra]

with the recent pump, what would you want to spend your bitcoin on?

[spydee1522]

spending cryptocurrency is the most convenient, fast and reliable way of shopping for me off late but most importantly I prefer re-investing my cryptocurrency in projects that seem promising with a great team behind it.

[TIDOVEE]

i have not actually bought anything directly with cryptocurrency, i have not tried it  because i have not seen any organisation that will accept crypto for whatever i need, so most of my cryptocurrency, i convert into fiat for paying bills, running personal projects, schooling and making daily transaction.

[jonsky05]

Some country have local wallet that let use it to spend your cryptocurrency to pay like mobile loads,electric bill,phobe bills and so on...And so convinient to use its less hassle to you go everywhere just to pay your bills. Thanks to the technology and cryptocurrency to invent like this.

[Herbet Fry]

I have bought games. Tools. Art. Plant and garden equipment. Seeds. PC hardware. Video game consoles. Vape, vape juice. All from local markets. Like coinpayments.
I prefer to spend crypto since it is much easier and I am paid in it anyway. The transactions are really quick and I have a good rating from sellers for buying almost instantly.

[fortunecrypto]

We are on our way to adoption but need to make real purchases in order to achieve the level of adoption that we need.

If so, What is that something?

Why or why do you not use crypto as your currency of choice?

Is that something on Forra.io?

I have an account on our local exchanges Coins.ph, with this exchange, I can pay my electric, water bill, insurance or pay my loan they are adding a lot of services.

I always use my Cryptocurrency to book a flight or a ride I believe soon they will add giftcards we can use for shopping mall and groceries.
It's so much easy to use your Cryptocurrency in this part of the world.

Ive been using this platform too when buying up some mobile phone loads and some game credits.The thing I do complain with this wallet service
is that they do have a big gap into their buy and sell.They do have btc,eth,xrp as I remember.So basically if we do talk about buy and sell then this isn't
a good idea but when it comes to services given on how you would able to spend out your btc then this is splendid.

[Saisher]

Cryptocurrency has many usages in our country, you can convert it to our local currency, book a ride, buy a load a credit, pay all your bills, I'm glad I'm on a country where we have online services that we can use to buy a lot of stuff for some of our everyday needs.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I mostly use bitcoin for online digital goods transactions such as gift cards. payment service or currency exchange. because it's easier. online users can certainly get wallet easily and without time. and track money can be checked directly without delay. so I would prefer if this digital goods transaction with bitcoin because it is real time and simple.

[pixie85]

There's a number of things that I buy and that I would buy if they were available. I'm using a VPN service that I paid for in cryptocurrency. I bought some things on Amazon mainly electronics and gifts for my friends.

I'd like to be able to buy a used car for crypto and not have to overpay for taking this option. Now you can do it but only at expensive dealerships and the same car often costs less if you choose fiat money so it's not a good option. I'd also like to be able to pay in restaurants with my crypto.

Using up for some cloud storage like Mega.nz which they do accept already bitcoin as a payment which is great.
When it comes to Gift cards and Mobile phone loads i do make use of Bitrefill.I know theres coins.ph but i had tried to use up this service too which is convenient
and the rest is being hold up on my cold wallet.Spending my btc in a little bit portion of 5%.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I use bitcoin as an investment place only and I forget it to pay something that I want. Actually, I don't like to buy something through online shop and anything related to it. I'm scared if I buy a stuff and when it comes to my hand it is different and far from my expectation. I believe bitcoin will be use by most its user as an investment place. They will buy something with use money fiat that common to use and there is no someone who will forbid it.

These are some sites that accept crypto as payment and in very few countries we can buy things with spending cryptos like in Singapore,Japan even in NIgeria too.

Yes, most of the people today are seeing bitcoin as store of value and as a investment instruments. I mean the potential profit you can made in the next year or two is great, you just have one quality, have patience and not to be emotional.

Although mass adoption will happen if online merchants will start to accept bitcoin, but currently I'm not seeing it going to happen unless those people behind are also crypto enthusiast.

Using bitcoin as an investment is the best thing that we can do than to use bitcoin to buy something on the internet or in real life. While there is not many online stores or offline store which accept bitcoin, we can use save the bitcoin and convert it into cash. I don't like to use bitcoin to buy something or buying from a store online. I feel not comfortable, and besides that, I cannot touch the product I want to buy. Sometimes the product will not be the same as what they offer, and that is the other reason why I don't want to buy by the online shop.

This is 21st century and Amazon is the biggest place to shop your things and the things has changed from you mentioned.Yes there maybe fake products can be sold but you can see the previous user's reviees before you purchase any product.

Amazon still accepts bitcoin but you can convert bitcoin into cash and use it to buy things from Amazon.

I use my entire cryptocurrency I earned in different ways. Sometimes it can be a simple refueling of a car, and sometimes buying books on the Internet. Most often I just transfer to a bank account.

You don't keep any of it at all?

I remember one person mentioning they spent all of what they earned on Steam games, every last satoshi. That was in 2015 when the price was around 40-50x lower than it is now. I would be utterly mortified looking at my Steam library in those circumstances.

Most of mine stays stored. I'm also quite selective about what I spend it on. I don't like letting go of it for pure consumables. If it went to millions of dollars the idea of $10,000 tank of fuel would seriously piss me off. If it had been spent on something that had made a notable improvement to my standard of life I would be able to forgive it.

That would suck badly, but probably not nearly as much as how Laszlo must feel thinking back about his 10,000BTC pizza transaction. It's cool and all that he will be remembered for that for ever, but I can't imagine that he isn't thinking about it from time to time, calculating how much his coins would be worth, where he could have been in life, etc.

Spending Bitcoin without replacing every single satoshi is just stupid, especially when you don't have the guarantee that you will earn them back because of how the price keeps going up.

It would be cool to see exchanges come up with an app or something that tracks your purchases and automatically replaces every spent satoshi. I recall Roger Ver to have plans to add a feature like that to his shitcoin dot com wallet, but meh, not going to use that to buy 'Bitcoin Core'.......

[Kyraishi]

Could be an interesting site, definitely an interesting way for you to advertise it here though - creating a pretty clickbaity title and then provoking discussion about your site. I'll take the bait.

I've only really be interested in the PC part of electronics, and whenever I get to building a new rig, or upgrading, my go-to would be Newegg. Great prices, fast shipping, and it's a great way for me to cash out some BTC and save some fiat money.

I took a look at the marketplace, and I'm more so getting the ebay sorta feel from it? Not really a company selling parts to a customer, but more a P2P marketplace where people can sell used items to other people.

Could be interesting. Just need to see more items TBH.

[marcuslong]

We are on our way to adoption but need to make real purchases in order to achieve the level of adoption that we need.

Is there any product digital or physical that you would willingly spend your cryptocurrency on? What would you feel good about spending your cryptocurrency on?

If so, What is that something?

Why or why do you not use crypto as your currency of choice?

Is that something on Forra.io?

I would willingly spend my crypto-currency on buying any kinds gadgets online. I feel good because it's less hassle if direct to buy without converting it to fiat.

But here in my country I can't do that. Because online shops here accept only card or cash. So I use the third party app coins.ph to convert my bitcoin to cash. And then buy what I want, pay bills and many more.

[timerland]

Take a look at daily spending habits of people and this gives you an idea. I use bitcoin to pay for food delivery every week at least once. Granted, this is a Bitpay 3rd-party merchant... so it's not like I'm exactly paying a pizza shop bitcoin. But I think it's a start and when shops do see their bitcoin orders go up, they might one day want to take it themselves (and who knows their own lightning shop so they don't bother with Bitpay's ridiculous confirmation setup).

Shopping is a bit more problematic, but I'm not really an online shopper. I know some people who do tiny buys every now and then that adds up in a month! Make-up, clothes, accessories especially.

Honestly, I've been living off crypto since late 2017.. sure, seen a few ups and downs but I'm exchanging crypto on a daily basis through p2p connections / localbitcoin / localethereum and using it as my main income.

Same here, I wouldn't exactly calling it living off crypto, though. That's for someone who bought all his coins years ago and living on it.

I've been earning only in crypto since late 2017/early 2018. Up until Q1 2016, I was 100% earning in fiat. In fact, if you discount the few clients who insisted paying me through paypal, I was actually earning in crypto since end of 2016.

My trading (selling, 90% of the time) takes place about every week, and with a bigger or more frequent one times around 3rd week of month to pay off bills.

P2P most of my trades too.

I think I'm pretty unique in my BTC spending, well at least compared to the other people around here - I've only ever used BTC for fairly small transactions, as well as some places that accept it when I am online shopping.

Recently used the Moon app (this is a browser extension which basically allows you to spend your money on sites like Amazon) to go on a huge shopping spree for a laptop, and some other tech stuff. Was pretty crazy I could use BTC to pay for it, even if spreads where a bit high.

[owengtam09]

Back in 2017, I remember spending my bitcoin for my family, buying foods that we need special needs that needed of a son because of his condition (private matters) and also we travel once because of bitcoin, but of course, I converted it to fiat before spending it. I enjoy purchasing with bitcoin is to buy a load, that's what I often to buy with my bitcoin because very convenient to use and easy to transfer load.

Me, too. The last year I tried spending bitcoin on service is only on 2017 to show support on the tech and for the whole crypto space. But now, I don't even bother because things did not go well in terms of financial because of the long bear period. Even in the twitter cryptoverse, those influencers that travel to spend only crypto shared that they only met 4-5 persons that actually spend bitcoin.

[UserU]

I mainly use it for gambling. Since the amounts are so small they're not worth converting into fiat or purchasing anything that I could afford.

They don't directly accept bitcoin, due to their reasons, but in the wake of that, a company specifically made to fulfill the needs of people who want to spend BTC on the site, purse.io. They actually work pretty well with fairly low spreads and amazing integration with Amazon, it's just a simple browser extension.

Probably a better investment anyway, hold!

[febriyana]

I never buy physical goods with crypto.
Last time i buy is digital goods, like hosting, vps, phone pulse.
But if i calculate until now,
more than 70% spending on gambling.
and so much lose streak

same as me. in that year I got quite a lot of money that I got from cryptocurrency, and everything I used to meet my needs, such as shopping, traveling, and others. but, for now, is different, I always think about spending what I produce on other businesses and developing business. Well, I'm quite sorry I didn't do this a long time ago.

After ten years Bitcoin has come a long way, you can literally buy anything with Bitcoin, I happen to live in a country where Bitcoin is well accepted in many merchants, I can pay my bills, my insurance, and convert my Cryptocurrency and use it to buy on one of our biggest local marketplaces here in our country, with the way things are going we can have a mall here mainly for Cryptocurrency only.

[djselery]

To be honest, I am dealing with cryptocurrency as an asset a lot more than a currency. Firstly, there aren't many marketplaces online supporting cryptocurrencies as payment methods, and secondly, I believe that BTC, ETH, and similar good coins have a good potential and they deserve a long term holding.
But I used many times BTC before to make micropayments, and for advertising my links in a-ads and some other advertising PTC sites.

[Anonylz]

 Honestly I have not use crypto to make purchase in any online crypto accepted store yet even though there are quite a good number of them around, I don't know,  am just keeping my btc and alts to sell at higher price for now, I still very much find it more convenient to use fiat than crypto, maybe am not just use to it yet, but I think we can only gain more adoption when all crypto enthusiasts start making transactions with crypto rather than fiat, but I see majority are still not use to using crypto.

[BitHodler]

Bingo! Finally someone being honest here---crypto in most cases is not convenient to use as payment option and will probably never become that. People keep hyping crypto as the ultimate currencies, but they failed miserably as such.

The actual selling feature of crypto is censorship resistant payments, which few people actually need in the grand scheme of things. In other words, it's a niche market people want to be penetrated with crypto. This can take decades.

Speculation and store or value are pretty much the only features you need, and Bitcoin has both of them. I'm perfectly fine with these two areas to keep doing better while payments only increases by minor upticks.

Majorities still using this industry as store assets and not for the sake of the intended purposes. If most people will begin to realize that this chain is also
good for payment transactions and be used to help quickining up deals between borders, It will make them realized that the system are capable to help.
Everything needs to start from people who are inside this industry, if implementations of transacting will be embarace and adopt it will be a success to what exactly the desire of Satoshi.

[nicecrypto]

I barely have enough btc on my wallet than to spend on something, I save and hodl all I have in crypto for a possible high price in future, for me, spending crypto to buy anything is still out of the question, maybe on a later time who knows, but for now it's all about making profit.

[boltz]

I rarely spend my cryptocurrencies on something but there are moments when I need extra cash for house things and I go on our big shop called emag and I buy with bitcoin a voucher so I could spend them without having to convert them into fiat. Recently I bought a drill toolbox as I had to make some modifications in the living room to hang out some new pictures and last month I bought a glue gun to make sure all my toolbox have anything I need in the future ...just in case.

I love to redecorate my house from time to time and now I'm waiting for black Friday to buy myself a new hob for the kitchen as my girl "yells" at me since spring to get a new one and this could be the perfect time to take it. So yea ...I'm not the guy who spends Bitcoin on fancy things...I usually like to keep them at safe place.

[DarkDays]

Believe it or not I spend it on food. My daily essentials. Right now I invest around $500 a month into cryptos. Sort of like a monthly systematic investment plan. This helped as I was able to ride the BTC wave early on. But I lost heavily on altcoin markets. But I am still hopeful for some altcoins.

Regardless, it is now quite easy to cash in and out of cryptocurrencies, so they are becoming basically the equivalent of cash these days. Most of us are using cryptocurrency practically anywhere now thanks to crypto to cash debit cards.

Same here, Using my bitcoin that is converted into fiat on my daily necessities, half of my profit from trades is used on my necessities and the other half is for reinvesting or reused for trading.

I'm playing a daily trade on the altcoin market, some altcoin now is experiencing downtrend and it is the reason I'm avoiding to make a long trade on altcoins.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I'm playing a daily trade on the altcoin market, some altcoin now is experiencing downtrend and it is the reason I'm avoiding to make a long trade on altcoins.

Did you get a profit when you trade in downtrend situation? I can't believe it since it may have a little chance to gain money when the price is decreasing. I'm not daily trader, and this is the reason why I can't decided to be a daily trader because the difficulity thing when I must take a decision to buy and sell when the situation comes.

OP, when you use cryptocurrency then I think you don't need to thinking what should be do with your cryptocurrency. You are free to use it for, when you choose as payment system then you have to know the regulation from your country. When you will use it as trading or investing just do it with one note you have to know the strategy first.

[Mike Mayor]

I spend crypto on everything excluding bills, food, going out. Luxury items and nice things you want I buy with crypto. Stuff like pc hardware, video game consoles, TV's, bed cover, coffee mugs and more.
Certain essential items you can buy with bitcoin it just depends on the market at the time. One day it will be great if we can pay bills with crypto. Even my family said they will start using crypto and not fiat.
My family are not the biggest supporters of fiat, because of the banks and fees and things like this.

On my part, I have bought 5 domains for my friends and 3 for myself on Namecheap and that's on the digital part and on the physical part, I have bought groceries after I converted my Cryp[tocurrency to fiat, so I can buy online and offline and people should do this and not just hodl their coin, because in the first place it was created to be this way.

We can buy a domain or subscribe to a web hosting there are a lot of sites that accepts coisn to buy a domain, and there are marketplace that accepts Cryptocurrency and we have to patronize that to show supports, I myself bought a domain last year and create a blog, people who are into Cryptocurrency must not only invest and HODL but they must support merchants that accepts Cryptocurrency, this is what these Cryptocurrency are intended to be use.
If we all want to move forward invest and buy something using Cryptocurrency.
