What do you actually spend your cryptocurrency on?

[LeGaulois]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why buddy, if you are being long time on crypto industry definitely you will face any situation where the place you spend the bitcoins or paying options with it.
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.

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.

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 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.

[carlfebz2]

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%.
