What I recent read about El Salvador is that they are also adopting lightning network, with this, I have made the conclusion that if countries make Bitcoin a legal tender, the use of lightning network will increase abruptly. People will be able to pay in Bitcoin with low fee, even in coffee shops and where we visit often to buy goods and services.
I have ones paid on a particular site before using Bitcoin, when the mempool was less congested on Sunday, the site is trustworthy and reputed, I used Electrum for the payment and it was successful.
I will still advice people not to even use third-party or Fiat to pay on a site not trusted, I have a friend that ordered for a shoe on an untrusted and unknown site before, the money gone without no delivering of the shoe, all I do is I use trusted sites that are reputed and known and regulated by governmental laws.
Topic: Do you pay with Bitcoin whenever you're able to? - page 8. (Read 1220 times)
Yes I do.
On a monthly basis, I used my bitcoins to pay for my internet, some credit cards, electricity and others. Just like lucky that our local exchanges (of course as third party) supports this kind of payment methods. Been doing it for the last 4 years. Of course I also hold some on my hardware wallets, but the ease of paying and really getting bitcoin to be used as payment schemes is good enough for me to do regularly.

I believe that the majority of the forum users want to see Bitcoin being globally adopted, including myself; I imagine people using it in their daily transactions for food, coffee etc. Lightning payments can tackle the scaling issue and the only thing left for Bitcoin to be used as a currency from the whole world is its mass usage. If the adoption rate increased so would the price's standability.
So, do you set a good example and pay with Bitcoin whenever you're able to or do you prefer not to spend your coins? I'll speak my personal view about this, in my country none of the merchants accept it and I rarely buy some hosting services from the internet. If they do accept it, I'll pay for it, but not because it satisfies me; it's just that I can't with PayPal. I'd prefer paying with PayPal for online services, because I may be scammed if they aren't popular.
Not sure why irreversibility is an advantage when you're paying an unknown person online. That's why I'd prefer having a third party for my online transactions.
