Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

At least in my city you can't buy the necessary daily needs for living like groceries and pay utility bills directly with BTC so it is quite inconvenient to live just with it here. However with a debit from Wirex or similar payment processing companies it is definitely doable.. But you're not really "using" bitcoin. You are literally selling BTC for USD or whatever your fiat currency is in your country. In my opinion that is not real, measurable adoption.

I see a typo in your article though. USD has an inflation rate, not a deflation rate. You might wanna correct that Wink

Who here uses Bitcoin daily or lives on the financial crypto market?
I personally use Bitcoin wherever I possibly can, and accept it directly without converting it to fiat immediately. I have been using Bitcoin daily for years. (Ever since Bitpay started improving its Bitcoin debitcard product)
Actually I am one of the many people who are using bitcoin daily in my everday life. I am using bitcoin to sustain all of my needs and wants on my daily routine and I have been also using it as my financial support in order to use it as a payment on the things I needed to buy in school and etc. In my case I am converting bitcoin into fiat in order for me to use it as an alternative way of paying money into my local currency because not all of the stores and retailed shops are accepting bitcoin as a payment so that I am converting it into fiat in order to used it in many personal and daily transactions.

When I accept bitcoin from people or after doing a work, sometimes I don't convert it quickly too, I leave it and wait to see if the price will go up a bit, sometimes it will go down. And sometimes I just leave it in my wallet because I like opening my cryptocurrency wallet and seeing some money in it, and watching the charts and all that, it's really cool.

Using bitcoin daily is a difficult thing where I live, or should I say that it never happens. One thing I have done is go to the ATM to withdraw my Bitcoin but that's with a Bitpay debit card (it isn't a BTC ATM, there isn't one where I live). Apart from that, whenever I need to use the money I always end up selling the coins and sending the money to my bank account before spending it.

This means, that we see Bitcoin and we do have different strategies in making money and in investing, as per me, every time that I do have payment from campaigns or from trading, cashing out 90% of it, then retaining the 10% from other wallet, that I am holding in the long term, I see to it that at least I do have something for the future in case the Bitcoin becomes million dollar worth then it will be a great thing.
I am using bitcoin for trading and investing, I can't use bitcoin for currency payment because many market in my country still not support accepted bitcoin as legal payment way, I not worry with bitcoin only use for investing and trading assets because I think is best solution use bitcoin for increase my investing without have use bitcoin as legal currency payment, although have available using bitcoin for currency digital I like using cash money.

I do, sometimes... Like paying bills and etc but it's a rare case because it's more convenient to use fiat. I barely see people paying with crypto. Bitcoin is like my source of extra income but it's hard to use bitcoin directly in buying things. We still need more mass adoption for us to achieve that scenario.
The reason why we just think that it is more convenient is because the payment has to do with an online thing and that is still the main challenge of cryptocurrency that I see because I don’t know who those that are not technologically inclined will be able to cope with bitcoin or will be able to pay with it, but if we look at the payment process itself, I think that it is going to be a little bit more convenient than using fiat if it as to do with payment online or cross bother.

Making payment across bother is one of the greatest things that cryptocurrency as ever done for me, which I think that the cost of transacting business across the bother with the two of them can really not be compared at all. Crypto payment is quite faster and even cheaper to me.

Who here uses Bitcoin daily or lives on the financial crypto market?




I personally use Bitcoin wherever I possibly can, and accept it directly without converting it to fiat immediately. I have been using Bitcoin daily for years. (Ever since Bitpay started improving its Bitcoin debitcard product)

Unfortunately in my country I still cannot use bitcoin for many transactions. Only a few small transactions that can be done, other than that must use FIAT.
The regulations have been tightened again, so it is very difficult if you want to use bitcoin as a means of payment.

same as my country, although in my country bitcoin is legal, but as payment, this is still prohibited, but I don't know why maybe they pay attention to compliance with anti-money laundering and others. so I can use bitcoin as payment only in cyberspace, but at least it is also easier to do many things, such as paying electricity bills, internet, and others.

4 years ago I decided to focus on crypto, a difficult start, but over time I could live in crypto. indeed this work is no guarantee for the future, but for at least 5 years in crypto, we already have something for the future, like a business outside of crypto. because right now we can see, it is increasingly difficult to get bitcoin.
It depends though since not all would really be successful towards crypto.You cant say that you would had enough on 5 years time
on dealing with this market yet you could possibly achieve that in short of time.Its all random and it do all depends on your hard work
on how you do accumulate things and somewhat some sort of luck.If that happens then you might able to get yourself rich but depending
on how much money you had put in.
I am not enough with bitcoin investing because until today I keep holding bitcoin and altcoin assets after buying with higher price, I can't sell right now with faced much lost assets and keep waiting when bitcoin is up. Better holding than have sell with lower price because we know bitcoin always have drama how to play with higher price several months later.
I have the same situation as you, holding some bitcoin and altcoin, but I'm not worried about bitcoin, because I'm sure it can still rise higher, but I'm worried about altcoin, the problem is I've lost more than 80%, but I still hold. this is what always keeps me from living on bitcoin and relying on daily trading when I don't have a lot of capital, but some are stuck.

Well, I also used bitcoin as a daily living because I used some of my earnings from bitcoin to provide the things that I need for 3 years, that is why bitcoin and cryptocurrnency is everything to me that without them I couldn't do the things that I can do today. Bitcoin is really helpful for everyone's daily living because it can help a person who doesn't have any source of income.

It's so happy to see that there are lots of people out here that making money thru cryptocurrency that's helping their daily life, just like mine, yeah, just like you, without crypto, we will be in short budget always, I don't have fixed income for now, I don't have stable job, and trading and joining campaign has been a big help in our daily life, so I am so much thankful about this too, not that much compare to others but for me a big help.
It is always suggested to have a day job that pays with an earnings. When we talk about bounties and campaigns we can't depend on it completely. If someone asks for, and if you don't have any campaigns to participate then it'll affect your daily living. Good is to know the need and make the right decision on spending.

This is correct. Cryptocurrency is full of wild swings and one needs to have a reliable source of income (job, business) to meet daily needs. I do earn a lot from crypto but I am not 100% dependent on CC for living, I have a job that keeps my paying every week.
A must thing should be considered by anyone of us specially to those people who do tend to stop or leave their day job and go full time with crypto.

It isnt really that idea yet we know that everything on this market doesnt give an assurance to give you constant profits that would support your living forever.

However, if you do able to make some decent amount of money might able to change your life forever on financial aspect thats why its still a worthy thing to
strive to get profits on doing crypto jobs but dont ever fully rely on it.

Yes. I agree Crypto job is a good thing we can earn daily, there is more benefit as you all know but as you said we cannot rely on that job any time suddenly it will increase and suddenly it will collapse.

For short term daily living is fine but for long term it's difficult. Those who are doing crypto jobs will definitely change their life beautifully. But one should work every day to gain more profit and lead a happy life.

using bitcoin every day is still unacceptable in my country, because access to supporters such as ATM and others has not been given by the government, even as far away from expectations, but more to get money because bitcoin is a common thing .. !!

Bitcoin is a digital currency as that is perfectly working at any time, which we can convert to our daily living, which depends the level of operation, How ever, the price of BTC is keep fluctuating as it stated at the article you posted, and is a reality things we are facing, Finally bitcoin is a financial freedom.
Digital currency like bitcoin is an amazing thing that we can use daily instead of using credit cards or cash, it's even secure and easy, with few clicks using your phone you'll be able to transfer any amount of money to anyone in the whole world without a high transaction fees or any problems. So it's kinda good to be used for daily living, but the problem is that not all people have it and most of the people who have it, they're holding it because they knows how valuable it is in the future.

It would be very hard to do so, to live on BTC you'll have 2 main conditions

- You'll need a decent sum of BTC to be able to pay for everything or a source of income that pays you in crypto-currencies.
- You will also need to be able to find stores for food/water, transport, recreation activities, and real estate options that are able to be payable in BTC, or at least accept gift cards (which are usually able to be bought for with BTC).

Right now, this very hard to do, unless you live in a country with fairly high adoption rates (eg, Singapore).

Your first point is obvious.

I myself can say you also use bitcoin every day, but use it by trading using bitcoin.
Because in my own country still has not legalized the use of legal bitcoin as a transaction tool that can be used.
Therefore my way to participate in using bitcoin is by trading in bitcoin trading and also I use bitcoin as payment when I'm gambling
Many stores are not still aware that they can accept crypto in buying their items, in my country we can buy in stores but I prefer to not use it in buying, but there were times I used it in paying bills, as much as possible I aim to hold it until the supply reach that can create hype in demand.
There are only a few stores in my country that accept Bitcoin as a payment hence, just to use this currency I need to convert it first in our local currency to spend it. Even so, just like you, I try not to spend my Bitcoin as much as possible, perhaps I would consider spending if the bull market comes. Spending Bitcoin to buy what you desire is not bad at all because sometimes you need to treat yourself. As a matter of fact, you earn Bitcoin because you want to achieve something, you want to obtain something so don't hesitate to spend your earnings and enjoy it.


Yea you may as well spend it instead of fiat. When people say they don't want to spend their bitcoin it makes no sense. Things will get better as adoption happens and we will use crypto to fiat conversions less and less until crypto becomes a viable and supported payment option alongside the current ones we have right now.
