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 Cheesy.
I can't tell anything about your website because it doesn't works and I can't access it. Please check it out and fix Wink

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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.

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 Tongue



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

Thanks for sharing information about this service. Unfortunately, it's not available in my country... Do they accept Bitcoins directly, or they are just using one of payment proccessors like Bitpay like most similar services are doing?

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.

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.
