I recently bought a 2010 BMW with Bitcoin, and am currently looking for a real estate agency in Seattle or Denver who would deal strictly in Bitcoin, to the point where I can buy a condo outright with Bitcoin and not have any fiat mortgage to deal with. I intend to spend roughly half of what I've got.

We just need to start spending our coins so that merchants see a value. Spreading the coins will stabilize the value or at least make it gain value in a healthier way.

Hording the coins with dreams that tomorrow it will reach $40k does not help.

I want to be able to buy express, vs, Macys, etc. But they wont take it seriously until we start acting more mature about this.

How many rich btc people do we have in this forum?

It's pretty hard for merchant to accept bitcoins with this price instability. Its moves are too big!

But I believe it will mature with time, which will enable more merchants to accept.
We still are at the very very beginning of cryptocurrencies. Don't forget that.

Besides, that fact that so many people are hoarding bitcoin shows that it is a very good store of value.
That's another role that our money needs to fulfill.

In all, "way to go bitcoin!" is what I have to say!  Smiley

Find me a supermarket / convenience store that accepts bitcoins and I will pay with bitcoins. Chicken and egg at the moment.

I agree. Totally true but still not super easy to find everyday places where they are accepted. I have used gyft too though.

We need to show these merchants the power of bitcoin!

Everyday I go on gyft.com and buy a $10 gift card for for CVS.

Then I go buy beer... The cashiers ask me why do I always have this weird paper copy gift card.

I tell them about bitcoin... Just doing my part..  Wink

Why don't you import the gyft card to your smart phone?  The Gyft app for iPhone is really slick (and automatic!).

A lot of people are spending their coins. If you look at the daily transaction volumes, the ratio is much higher than the same for fiat.

The actual problem is that the number of merchants accepting Bitcoin payments are really low.
