[glendall]

Congratulations on the birth of your son, it's very special that your child from birth has been introduced to BTC as a story . he will grow up . hopefully always healthy children and mothers and for you to be more active in looking for BTC who knows there will be a surprise from btc again, the main thing is congratulations for the happiness of your little family

Tell me which country do you live in? 

[Henrobakkara]

Guys, how profitable is it to use bitcoin now? Given that the rate is now jumping, and many see it as an investment - what's the point of spending bitcoin on buying things?

Well some of us think like this but the reality is, it doesn't matter whether you spend it directly as OP did or you sell to fiat and spend the bottom line is you are still spending that amount of Bitcoin/satoshis either way except you have other means of payment that will make you not spend from your Bitcoin HODLings.
Congratulations to OP and the rest of his family.

Congratulations Op and I am happy for you. Not just that you made paid with bitcoin, but you also made a history. As bitcoin keeps growing and growing, the child will grow and learn that he has a very unique history with bitcoin and he will be happy.
I wish you would have given your child name that is crypto related (just kidding).

Since I understand bitcoin and Crypto I always run out of fiat, I don't know why it's so. Whenever I need cash I'll have to sell coins in order to use cash.

Based on the name Muhammad Alven it looks like he's from Indonesia. This name can be seen much on Indonesia than any other countries. As said the entry of him to the world itself have got connection with bitcoin. This is something really special for Muhammad Alven. This incident shows that people are slowly getting transformation towards direct dealing with cryptocurrency which is the reason for which Satoshi innovated it.

Congratulations Op, I want to join you as you welcome your baby boy...And it's good news to see the usage and Utilization of Bitcoin going round gradually, warm greetings across to the baby and your baby mama. I'm happy to hear such a great news.
Most people at fat lie's, they claim to use Bitcoin but deep down really, you could tell they don't.

[DeathAngel]

Thanks for sharing this very personal story. Your son is involved with bitcoin from his very first day
This is the first time I’ve heard such a story, I’m sure in a few decades things like this will be more common. You may be the very first to pay for a service like this with bitcoin. Congratulations on the birth also.

Hope so that one day it would not be too surprising to see someone accepting btc as we are moving into that time but still there's lot of time for the global adoption but cases like the @Op mentioned make us happy to see how people are now ready to accept it as payment also.You are right about that his son is related to bitcoin from the day one and hope they tell him about this story and btc importance also.

Congrats on the baby boy. Now this is what BTC was intended to be, a cashless P2P transaction that can be a tool, but not the saviour or the only means, how those laser eyed goblins make it out to be. Unfortunatelly, you had to see it from his shirt and not from a sign upfront and it still feels like it's fairly underground, but we need more P2P transactions like these. It remindad me about the story of a guy buying a car with BTC in Ukraine at the begining of the war.

[Smack That Ace]

Interesting story, congrats to OP although it's rather belated as I hadn't seen this thread before. In that case without bitcoin, you probably have to spend a lot of time running to find ATMs to withdraw money and there's nothing better than that doctor being a bitcoin user too. It's just a coincidence but bitcoin's superiority over fiat can be seen in this case.

If you live in a country where bitcoin is accepted as legal, I think it would be great if you suggest that your doctor consider accepting bitcoin as payment for his or her clinic.

[Franctoshi]

This is how Bitcoin is evolving and helping people solve sudden problems that almost lost hope and saving time in difficult situations like this.
In the move for  world wide quick adoption for Bitcoin, if individuals, private and institutional organization could embrace Bitcoin in this manner and start accepting Bitcoin in their various hospital, schools , hotels, shops/grocery stores etc , the Government in my view would have no option left for them to do than to start legalizing Bitcoin in their respective countries which El Salvador and the Central African Republic has taken step in the direction.

Look at the convenience and how it works when the time you really need it the most, this is the same idea that Satoshi Nakamoto wanted to spread to the world but unfortunately, no matter how good your invention always ends up getting some critics who never appreciate and wanted to destroy it. Thankfully the OP shared this wonderful story with us because most of the time you only read about some successful investments using bitcoins nowadays, people forgot to realize the importance of having bitcoins in your crypto wallet as a means of payment and can be used for emergency as well.

Bitcoin is still banned in most of the countries around the world. But still the use of Bitcoin does not stop. Today people have learned to understand that decentralized assets are one of their future assets and have enough value all over the world. When a doctor agrees to accept payment in Bitcoin, it is understood that it has spread everywhere in the world.

Even if its banned but still it cant really be stopped since people could really make use and make transactions p2p without being caught or something like that and this is the one of the main
reason on why government do hate it that much which they couldnt really able to get rid of it and since its decentralized and anonymous then you could really expect that people would
really be using it because of these benefits and utility and take not that we could even deal up with investment which would really be good on holding for long term.
You could really make use of it on times of need or last option as long it would be available then it would really be life saving.

Bitcoin can be said to be good in all respects to avoid such dangers and to be risk free due to Bitcoin transactions. I thank him for the time he met his doctor and saved him from the dangers of using bitcoins late at night due to the birth of his son. The topic is old so take care of your children and wife.

[acener]

The important thing is that they are both safe, and that the doctor was willing to accept crypto as payment.
On times like this we would really feel some relief from our part knowing that we wouldn't have any problem about payments or money.
I experienced it before when I run out of cash or fiat, and only have crypto currency when I was out of town for vacation with my friends.

Yes, the most amazing part is that I'm sure the OP didn't pay in the hospital directly; instead, he paid directly to the doctor, and the doctor will be the one who processes the payment to the hospital, which is a good indication that there will be a way to pay in crypto currency. Luckily, the OP didn't miss the hint or the opportunity to do so.

That's also why we should always have a fiat currency. In sad reality, not all establishments or businesses can accept bitcoin or any crypto currency. It happens to me that I don't have any cash anymore and try to negotiate, but they don't know how crypto currency works. That's why they can't accept the payment. As a last resort, I ended up borrowing money from my friends. So that's the lesson I learned: no matter how we believe in crypto currency, we still need to have some fiat currency.

This thread was posted in 2022 and right now, his child has been around 1 year 8 months. It is almost similar with my child age. Well, and this was a great experience, not only about the birth but also the way to pay. Fortunately, the birth is in a private clinic I think, so it means that the doctor may be the one who has the clinic. So, he could easily give payment directly by transferring from wallet to wallet. I don't know what the regulation of using Bitcoin as means of payment in his country, but the fact that they used the payment directly, it seems no matter, as long as it still became a secret in their real life.

For, in my country, Bitcoin is illegal if used as payment directly. So, whatever the condition, if it is in hospital or other publics spaces in which not a private clinic or something like that, it will not be able to do it again.

It's also illegal where I live so there are almost no offline transactions that can be done using Bitcoin payments,
because the government is very strict in monitoring finances if there are service sellers/shops/services that use/accept BTC as payment
