I would personally use such a store, probably not very often but in general if I would need to buy something online then I would prefer to pay with bitcoin instead of my debit card. I see everyone is worrying about bitcoin transactions being irreversible so you should think about a solution to solve this problem,maybe add an escrow option or something similar to that.

Only * Bitcoins * will be a big problem, the market goes up and down too frequently to actually track down anything specific therefore what I think is that Bitcoins needs to be integrated but at the same time, we would love if there are still others things such as Cash and Cards and stuff.

It's never a good idea to give the user just one variant , more variety creates better choices and at the same time better scope of growing for the whole company .

It should meet the requirements for 'n' number of people who wants to actually use this site not just a small population, that's how it will become famous .

What I'm trying to ask is would you use that type of store with your crpyto (maybe that store accepts more crypto not only BTC) or you see crypto only as an asset that will provide you more fiat money in the future?

since I started using bitcoin I've always seen it as an asset. some people may disagree with me but that is just how I see bitcoin and other crypto-currency atleast for now.
although I would gladly use bitcoin as a payment if there is a store who makes a fair deal. most of us compare bitcoin to a fiat as it's value that is why a lot of people
find it hard to use bitcoin as a payment.

there is nothing we can do when my country prohibits crypto transactions.  so I will use it in the future when crypto is legal in my country.  now I prefer collecting BTC, ETH and other crypto.  I always hope that BTC will create again a high bull market.  it doesn't matter even though it's still long.  I am strong to hold.

I will gladly make use of it if I can find such within my region because it was none availability of stores that accept crypto currency as a means of exchange for goods and services that makes to be converting my crypto currency to our local currency before going to store to purchase items.

There are ways you can use your cryptocurrency to pay for goods at amazon already.
This crypto payment processing company purchases goods using the lightning network as described here
https://www.coindesk.com/you-can-now-shop-with-bitcoin-on-amazon-using-lightning
Then there is purse.io which uses a third party to connect cryptocurrency payments for these goods using giftcards at a discount. They have been around for a while now.

Did you manage to purchase items on Purse.io? I read that there is / has been a lot of fraudulent sales there (users gave BTC to seller and he used some fraudulent cards to purchase items which is really really bad). So whats the point of using this service?
May be you can share some experience you had with this site.

I will why not, but I will not going to spend all my cryptos buying things here I still consider as an asset that will appreciate anytime soon, but we need to support stores like this because Bitcoin was created to do this for buyers and merchants, the goal is always been for merchants to come in and use cryptocurrency.

If there is a store like Amazon or ebay that accepts only BTC would you use it?
In my opinion the crypto model does not allow OR make it easy for retail based stores to accept crypto because crypto prices are always changing, not easy-to-use issue chargebacks or refunds,too much work for the accounting books and the list goes on but we have to think outside the box and support such innovations..but the tech isn't ready for this industry imo.
For now I believe we don't have any store big enough to support crypto.
