well some of us can't even use bitcoin for single purpose. because we don't have any options to spend bitcoin in Bangladesh.
Ha ha.. Didn't the Central Bank say you can be jailed for using Bitcoin? |

Impressions I have are...
#1, Amsterdam, Netherlands very into bitcoin.
#2, 3, 4 etc, Not sure of exact rank but Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, San Fran and bay area, Portland, NYC, London etc all have active scenes.
That is, around 95% of the world is outside places where spend BTC is easy |

I want to know if people are seeing bitcoin pop up as a medium to pay.
Want it in my city, unfortunately, dont see it.
Where are the best places to live that take bitcoin?
duty to introduce the bitcoin in your city. you learn here and if you are old enough to understand you can tell them. if that happens, you will be the hero in your town: D |

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.
I use it at least weekly. Mostly online, but increasingly I find places IRL. The reason I do it is because I care about my private information. Using a card requires giving all the information needed to steal from me to a stranger. Those days are over for me. I also use it for travel. Its' awesome to have money that works all over the world. I also like to OWN my wealth, not store it someone's fed coupons. But the bitcoin may be stolen from you too. So, the different entry fiat money and bitcoin in that case not so much, us we would like it be. Certainly true. I have to do my own security because my bitcoins are mine alone. I have little fear of theft however, to get any sizable amount would require breaking into my safe deposit box. Then you would still have to find and decrypt the wallet. P.S. I have never lost a Satoshi to thieves, but I'm on my third replacement bank card in a year. |

I have never lost a Satoshi to thieves, but I'm on my third replacement bank card in a year. But you have to realize that anyone who frequents these forums are much more knowledgeable and smarter than the general public. Almost every day I hear on the news that people are getting scammed because someone called them on their phone saying that they owe the IRS $300 and need to pay right away or else they'll come arrest them. People fall for this and buy Western Union or prepaid debit cards and pay it right away. Obviously you wouldn't fall for that. Neither would I. But thousands of people do fall for it and they cry about it to the news channels. The fact is, the general public is incredibly dumb and gullible. Ask any random person and they wouldn't even know what the word "encryption" means. In a way, you could say bitcoins are for smarter people. As a side note, you wouldn't believe how many people STILL put their house key under the front door floormats. I don't know that many people, but I know two people who still do that. It's incomprehensible!!! |

It might not be available today widespread, but isn't there ways around it to use Bitcoin for shopping?
Can't you just load up a Xapo Debit card or prefund Gyft?

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.
Yup..just calm your tits..n hold your coins for a few years.!! Revolution will start soon.! so sit back n chill 4 a bit.! |

Places you go everyday ask them if they will accept it, even for you - just to start with. shouldn't cost them anything substantial to get set up.
Ofc I'm assuming these places arent all walmarts!

Its just a matter of time before people start using Bitcoin every day! Remember paypal, webmoney and others?
We use them everyday now don't we?
Yeah but that doesn't involve exchanging your fiat for a different currency, they are just ways to exchange your already possessed fiat. With this they need to deal with another currency. Im yet to see a merchant in real life. |

The way I see it the more bitcoin we use in various bitcoin companies etc. the more we are supporting bitcoin growth and the better off bitcoin will be. For me this means even if I can't buy lots of things around my area if I have the option to pay for something online with Bitcoin I will even if it is at the cost of a slight premium.

Bitcoin can be use to invest some wealth and store your capital privately. |
