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 debit card product)

I as a crypto user who does not use crypto for daily activities. It can be said that I rarely use crypto for real world transactions, because in our country we only allow the use of fiat. I only use BTC for trading.

Maybe it would be very fun if in my country allow the use of Bitcoin for buying and selling transactions in the real world. At least in our country we still allow crypto trading activities, without special rules.
There are still countries that are not favor in bitcoin and that is why it is illegal to use for them but I live in a country that legalized bitcoin. Even the bitcoin is freely to use, there are still a lot of challenges that should be resolve like the awareness that progresses very slowly. I cannot still buy the things that I desire because of the businesses that are still not willing to accept the new payment system.

If there will be an increased in awareness, the adoption will grow and many businesses will see a new opportunity to have netter payment system. People are often using bitcoin in speculating and in trading. There are only few persons out there that spending their bitcoins in order to buy the things that they need and want.

I do not think that bitcoin can be used in everyday life, at least not yet.
yeah i'm also agree with you.because,now bitcoin price is not stable.that's why this coin is not usable for our everyday life.
People are using it in daily life for buying and selling different items, paying for a coffee or a bear, paying other bills etc. it has started accepted in smalls stores and shopping places in different countries. Similarly it is accepted at big sites also including Microsoft, amazon, and burger point. This is also an addition of cryptocurrency as a daily living. Soon it will be accepted by others as a method of payment and its effect will increase.

Signature campaigns really help out with the extra income. Sometimes I feel as though they are a godsend because that little extra income comes in handy more and more often for me. So I guess it is possible to survive off of cryptocurrency if you accept it a payment for various Jobs and tasks. I hope that one day within the future these opportunities become a lot more abundant.
  We've definitely come a long way from just being able to buy pizzas and other small things using cryptocurrency.
Adoption seems slow but it is happening, especially with the institutional investors coming in.

Crypto is my favorite for paying for services such as buying mobile data and airtime. It is very easy to use and with it you have no fear as you can use it anytime you want. Just like Fiat

You could use it like fiat but they are not the same, using crypto instead of fiat if you could use fiat on buying mobile data and airtime is a waste of profit in my opinion, yes it could help to promote and raise awareness to others that cryptocurrency exist because most of the population doesn't know about it, all they know is fiat. But, if you are comfortable with it, I guess I can't make you stop doing it for your profits, your cryptocurrency, your choice.


but this is what we need now,help bitcoin to circulate and using to buy data and airtime is one good move to do such,why did you say it is a waste of profit?do you mean people must just hold bitcoin to profit?no it is not mate because if all of us will just hold bitcoin then how come we will have earnings?if the demand and supply is not working?for cryptocurrency to improve this must be used consistently and to circulate.

It's kinda sad but there are complications too. Even if I would love to buy products using btc offline, I can't because major stores, or almost all stores don't accept Bitcoin :/ with the fact that no one even knows about it and bitpay doesn't ship cards here :/ because of shitty government rules!
Even in my country the government is not really pro bitcoin and this is the reason why most of the merchants are not accepting bitcoin for payment. So i never spend my bitcoin and prefer to continue holding until its price rise up again. For now, living with bitcoin daily is still too hard to be realized but might happen soon in the future.
Why looks afraid when your country not legal using bitcoin as digital currency payment if you still have chance for investing and trading with bitcoin, I think feature of bitcoin and altcoin only become assets for investing and trading to get much profit, how ever government want to accept bitcoin as legal transaction or not is not my business and look not serious problem.

Yeah, I also have a dream to use bitcoin daily living, for example in shopping or paying bills that so far only use our country's currency. Because here in our country bitcoin daily living is very limited. We can't use it however we want, if we do business on bitcoin, we still can. But for real we can't yet.

It's quite contradictung and ironic to say you can, but at the same time, you cannot. But to have a cleqr understanding to this, it is merely impossible for today to use it as a currency for daily living unless, a big project will implement to build a city entirely dedicated for the utilization of cryptocurrencies. In this way, bitcoin daily living will be possible as no entity will prohibit one to use it.
for now we can only use bitcoin after converting to fiat currency, the lack of stores that accept bitcoin and high bitcoin fluctuations is very much avoided for small shops to use it, because they have a small capital. therefore we must wait for the next development


Yes, it is not widely accepted by the common stores in many places now due to many reasons including lack of awareness, restrictions put by the government, its fluctuating nature. But its implementation is increasing with the period of time as its price is increasing and is becoming more stable. Once it will attain the greater stability in near future it will be used everywhere.

There are lots of ways you can spend your money through Bitcoin, but I don’t make use of Bitcoin for spending, when I buy it I just keep it mainly in my wallet as an investment till the price goes up. Sometimes I use it for transaction as well. As for how to spend your Bitcoin – you can buy whatever you need from Overstock and pay with Bitcoin, I have seen a few of my friends do that.

Overstock is just like Amazon and there are lots of things to buy from there, though when I checked their site I didn’t really like it, unless they have worked on that. Another one is Purse.io, you can as well use BitPay and pay for gift cards that you can spend on Microsoft Xbox, Uber, Amazon, etc.

You really maximize its function, even though you know the price of BTC is very volatile, and are you not sorry about the price changes that are not comparable if one day it changes? however it is your decision, you must have your own consideration Smiley
If I prefer fiat for daily payment transactions, for me it is more effective. Whereas I place BTC as a trading commodity and investment tool. But, if one day there are developments and innovations that make transactions using BTC more effective and as easy as using fiat, maybe I will try it, but I'm still doubtful because for me BTC is more appropriate as an investment tool, given the volatile price.

I use Bitcoin weekly and monthly but not daily. I use it for paying for goods and services online most especially anything that has to do with my site. This includes hosting, domain name purchase and other.
I have used it for services mostly between me and the receiver.
I guess those who use it for daily are those who receive payment for goods purchases.
Yes it can become the part of your daily living if you use it as the method of payment for your daily tasks. You can make your daily payments if you are doing a long term business and have a big investment plan also.  You can also make it the part of daily living by using it at the places where it is acceptable as a method of payment. This will promote Bitcoin and give you also more knowledge about it.

Some people depends on cryptos. They surf crypto world day and night to earn free tokens, coins from bounties, airdrops. But in crypto winter they dont have much luck. Bounties are not good rewarding anymore and the people are not earning.
Some businesess are using cryptos as way of payment, some people trades cryptos on daily basis on exchanges. But due to volatility they get higher reward and sometimes they suffer from massive loss.
Crypto is a way of passive income for some people. They consider crypto as asset not just way of tx.

to be honest i can't use bitcoin every day. because I think bitcoin is a good type of coin used for long-term investment. and I also don't count on earning from cryptocurrency to meet my daily needs. because cryptocurrency is very volatile I only use bitcoin for long-term investments and some altcoin for short-term investments. I already have a real job that I use to buy my daily needs.

Looks like we're the same, dude. For me, using bitcoin to fulfill my daily needs is still not possible due to limited knowledge and development in my region or country. But I still use it to trade every day, yeah at least I still use bitcoin as an investment and trade asset. The rest I just wait until in my country bitcoin can develop better than now.

bitcoin is not feasible for small transactions, because the fees are too high especially if used daily transactions and I am the same as you guys probably most also do the same thing, it's better to hold bitcoin in the long term and use altcoin for transactions using crypto. but unfortunately in offline I can't use it because it's limited, but in online I often use it, like buying internet packages, paying for the internet bills and games voucher.
