How many bitcoiners on here have actually used bitcoin/crypto for commerce?

[tbterryboy]

Does accepting cryptocurrency as payment for work you do count as well? I discovered cryptocurrency and after playing around with faucets for a while I decided it was of no use. Then I dropped it. After some time I landed a project that required me to accept Bitcoin as a payment method, at first I never trusted them because I was afraid that there is no protection and I might be doing free work.

But, I still took the risk and luckily, I got paid for it. After that, I started coming across lots of companies that wanted to pay with bitcoin and the current job I'm doing now is a remote job and pays with Bitcoin.

We cannot calculate the exact people who are using cryptocurrency for commerce, but in my own analyzation, most of them are using it for commerce we they are actually using their own crypto to support particular projects and ICO. We actually call it e-commerce because using cryptocurrency since it is digital money we are using it to electronic commerce to purchase goods or support a particular campaign by investing because we are purchasing also to them. In terms of using crypto, I can say that it is way faster than any transaction physically since the internet is being used.

I would not completely say that we have many people that are using cryptocurrency for ecommerce yet as if there was, the level of adoption in cryptocurrency would have increased for now.

What many people that you see here are using bitcoin or other cryptocurrency for now is just investment, they believe that investing in it will be more useful to them more as that will be what will generate them money, but they don’t want to realize that we need bitcoin to even be more used than to be held so that there will always be demand for bitcoin at all time, and as the value grown, the coin price will begin to appreciate in value.

We really need people who are into ecommerce to really embrace the use of bitcoin for their businesses as this is what could really make the cryptocurrency row back and beyond the previous all-time high.

This data is solely based on the fact about what a person thinks is the reason for the Bitcoins to exist.
For me I think I would label them to be on the side of a commodity that increase in value over the time , instead of money like Fiat , obviously it seems stupid to always pay this much fee when you have to actually send even a small amount because let's be serious even with the lightning network you still have to pay fee from lightning wallet to normal wallet which actually is profitable for the person who does a lot of trades a day not like individual traders and holders.
Therefore I have used it but on rare occasion , it's easier to just convert it into money and use since there are more options this way and it makes everything easier.

Bitcoin feature only investing and trading to get much profit, I live with country not allowed using bitcoin as transaction payment currency, I use bitcoin only get profit by investing or trading and can't use for transaction payment. I will try make bitcoin become currency payment after bitcoin allowing as legal currency in my country.

Still, we should not lose hope, you are not alone, there are plenty of countries out there that are restricted in doing crypto, still on the other part we should be thankful that we have known Bitcoin and that we know its advantage of it and we are able to earn thru it compare to some countries who can't even access at all, nor no idea what crypto is.

I know your feeling, to make currency in that country bitcoin seems to be difficult to accept, because the sentiment about bitcoin can kill FIAT already in government, in my country Bitcoin is not an instrument for payment, but an instrument of digital assets, that is good enough because has been recognized by the government, but do not worry there are some sales sites that already use bitcoin as a means of payment, such as Amazon

Even big countries like China or USA have not legalized the king of digital currencies yet. Give the fellows required time and everything will get settled. The need some time to grasp the concept but nevertheless, bitcoin is already being used and held by rich people of the world. The governments are resisting its legalization but most of them would already be holding bitcoin certainly. Indeed, big percentage of world population is still unaware of crypto assets.

many people want to use bitcoin for real life, it's just that until now its use is limited, and bitcoin is easier on the internet. in my country, there are regulations that prohibit using bitcoin as a transaction tool, so most people do not use bitcoin for commercial use, but for their own personal use.

most of us have not used crypto for shopping and I am finding it difficult to find a reliable site to purchase goods as most of the sites which accept crypto are either shady or Grey sites. But there are some e-commerce projects based on crypto which will give a push to crypto usage in terms of shopping.

Before we even come down to the issue of having a reliable site that is accepting cryptocurrency or bitcoin, I don’t think that I have even seen up to 10 companies that are accepting bitcoin out of the millions of companies that we have.

I understand that adoption rate is still very low, but even with the low rate of adoption, there are so many companies that are holding cryptocurrency here today for the purpose of bull run, and I think that it is high time that many people start introducing bitcoin into their own platform for payment and not just buying bitcoin alone and expecting that it will rise without adoption. What will create adoption more is when there are places where we can spend our cryptocurrency. It is only in the gambling section that I can say that they are trying.

Then you should again do some research. I can bank on this that only the number of gambling sites that allow playing with bitcoin is more than 10 in numbers. Bitcoin is a digital currency, belonging to the internet first. It is highly being consumed in other webs by users. Also, it is just a matter of time before bitcoin goes mainstream. Starting from ten companies, it will get accepted by millions of them. A bit of patience is required.

We cannot calculate the exact people who are using cryptocurrency for commerce, but in my own analyzation, most of them are using it for commerce we they are actually using their own crypto to support particular projects and ICO. We actually call it e-commerce because using cryptocurrency since it is digital money we are using it to electronic commerce to purchase goods or support a particular campaign by investing because we are purchasing also to them. In terms of using crypto, I can say that it is way faster than any transaction physically since the internet is being used.

Actually there are now online shopping platform that are now accepting bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin is now considering as an asset and the demand to it is continuing to grow. Actually, many more people are now prefer to use it than fiat money in terms of payment.

Don't worry if now not available using bitcoin for currency digital payment with offline and online shop transaction I think later when bitcoin have higher price many companies and governments want adopt and make bitcoin become legal transaction digital currency payment.

someday it will happen , when many companies and government recognized as product of technology  bitcoin adoption will happen soon. Bitcoin will bring more effectiveness and Investment value . today we see bitcoin already traded in  futures and it means giant companies already considered it as good portofolio  ,in near future when bitcoin bearish trend finished we will see price increase smoothly and many merchant will start accept bitcoin legally.

Maybe the time that you are saying is when the time where the price pf Bitcoin would be much more stable because for now since there are a lot of potential for price to shoot up then people had been treating as a form of investment seeing how valuable it is than using it on commerce. Though there are people, business who are using it for commerce but some people aren’t willing to spend it but rather they would prefer to hoard it or just trade it. I think is farther in the future for this would happen.

Most of the time, I often see only betting websites that accept payments in bitcoin or other top alts. In addition, services outside of normal life will not accept because they realize the risks of bitcoin fluctuations. for many people to want to use bitcoin or other types of stablecoins, it is better to be widely used for payment in many services and it must be stable.
Although I am a fan of cryptocurrency, I still don't see the utility (except for gambling)

[fullhdpixel]

I have used it a lot of times for business and I still use it for today. I don't only use it for business, I also use it as a means of transaction. I don't live with most of my family members , they are all living in different countries and I have taught them about Bitcoin and we have all been using it as a means to send and receive money from each other since we are not living in the same country.

I discovered Bitcoin in the year 2014, and before then I have always stressed myself whenever I want to send money to my family. I would usually go to the bank and fill the Western Union form and then pay in money and wait for when it will arrive to their side, same thing with them. With Bitcoin, I just send the money and they get it that same minute and exchange and withdraw the money through exchanges like Luno or Coinbase.

I used it to buy a computer part at NewEgg. It was pretty cool.

With people use bitcoin for currency digital payment maybe they will continue for start with bitcoin as currency but for every one have make bitcoin as investing and trading where buy bitcoin with higher price last 2017 and now they have gone and forget about bitcoin because ever lost much money with bitcoin and altcoin investing, they do not want to try for investing with bitcoin and altcoin again.

I am looking website accepted bitcoin as payment transaction, for using bitcoin with offline transaction on market still not support because my country not accepted bitcoin for currency payment but available for investing only.

Maybe soon, your country will legalize bitcoin payment. There are still reasons why they keep away these cryptocurrency to their citizens. Maybe, the way they look at how frauds and anti money laundering might exist with it.
But for sure, they found out that bitcoin is good and make it as a means of payment. In my country, we have been neutralize about the regulation of bitcoin. But then, there are crypto lovers which they use to buy things in online. However, I do not yet use bitcoin directly as a payment rather i convert it to fiat just to buy goods.

I use bitcoin as a payment for utilities and there is nothing like this. I also use Bitcoin as a payment for everything that interests me in everyday life.

[huige007]

I use bitcoin as a payment for utilities and there is nothing like this. I also use Bitcoin as a payment for everything that interests me in everyday life.

This is so exciting and relieving to see the practical applications of bitcoin in real life. We need more and more people to use bitcoin for paying the dues of their daily utilities and needs so that other people can get attracted to this currency as well. We need more and more people in this market to get it legalized all over the world. Legalization will further increase the value of bitcoin leaving all of us richer.
