it is true that unless you live in a big city, you can't use bitcoin easily.

You have to look at this with perspective, I think that we are still in an early phase, First the internet has to be filled with shops accepting bitcoin and after that more physical shops will be available

Give it time.

And promote it on your own.

Ask merchants/retailers if they accept, and encourage them if they are not and are considering it.

I heard Las Vegas has a bitcoin scene. There are some bitcoin ATMs and probably a few shops that accept it for face to face transactions.

Why would you even try to use Bitcoin everyday? Card works fine for me, and I don't see why would I take the trouble of paying by Bitcoin when there is no advantage.

In Zagreb, Croatia we have Bitcoin ATM in one coffe shop, recently installed so now i can change to fiat there when needed. There are only two places where you actualy can buy something with BTC in whole country i think but before few months there was nothing so that is great progress. Things are moving but i wish they move lot faster. Croatia have millions of tourists every year and that would be benefitial for both Bitcoin and our economy lol.

Where I stay people are quite oblivion about existence of bitcoin, nevertheless it's even rare to find shops that accept bitcoin as payment mode. But never mind, I still use it for internet purchases, paying for services I acquire in the forum and such, so it still holds some value as people will readily accept it.

Right about the Netherlands, wrong about Amsterdam.

The absolute #1 Bitcoin City is actually Arnhem (also in the Netherlands). See this CoinTelegraph article from a reporter who went there to spend some coins. Fucking awesome if you ask me: hotel, supermarket, bike shop, car business, hair salon, gift shops, tons of bars and restaurants, you name it, and they accept Bitcoin. Several ATMs in town as well.

There are some initiatives going on in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities as well, and I hope they catch up soon, but they're nowhere near the same level of Bitcoin acceptence yet.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Netherlands is a good country to start off, also Isle of Man seems to have a lot of btc use.
I don't get why you would want to live off bitcoin though, there are no real benefits yet, you should just use more standard currency. 
I think you can get a xapo debit card and use bitcoins more easily, not sure how that works though.

Just wait till it gets more mainstream and then you'll be able to. Changing places to live off of Bitcoin doesn't really sound like a good idea.

My best suggestion is to find another altcoin moving more freely in your community/city/... (one of the 2000 odd so far created maybe)  convert the portion of your BTC you wish to spend to that alt coin and be able to spend your alt coin.

If you can pay your card bills with Bitcoin, nothing like it.  Smiley
