In a daily basis yes, but only for reloading my phone to able to call. I pay my internet bills with crypto in the monthly. It is very useful as for now- I don't know when it will last but I am maximizing it's utilities for now. Another is I send money to my relatives using crypto and it is the best thing that I liked about, less fees and instant transactions.
I usually use my bitcoin to buy load and to buy some stuff that I need my daily life. The cryptocurrency that I usually use is bitcoin because I have bitcoin in my wallet and this wallet was Coins.ph where I can use it to buy load or to withdraw a fiat. Bitcoin also become my part time job when I done in study.

Here in my country which has a big number of citizens, bitcoin is not so popular so almost there is no mercjant who accept bitcoin. Even I can't find any single store which accept bitcoin in my city. But there is a local exchange in my country so I can convert my bitcoin into paper money to buy something.

This and other questions are part of a questionnaire that we, a research team from the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) are doing. It seeks to understand the drivers' usage of cryptocurrencies by the end user such as you and me. Considering 10 different dimensions, from perceived usefulness to privacy to profitability, among others.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.
Here is the link for the questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage
More details if you want to know more about it:
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results.
This questionnaire has some focus on the financial area, but this does not mean it is the most important. We know there are some other dimensions not being addresses in this questionnaire, such as decentralisation/government influence, that may be addressed in the future.
After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post on this forum with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.
There are no open questions, but you can post here or message me about this.

I do use it, but it’s not that helpful cause you wouldn’t see people accepting it where I live. I have a group I work with and we make use of Bitcoin to send and receive money among ourselves, but when I receive I will usually sell it to an exchanger and have cash paid into my bank account. Sometimes I do leave the Bitcoin in my wallet, maybe to grow and sometimes fall, depending on the direction the market is moving. One thing I like about it is that it is really fast and cheap for transactions. It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.

Are you looking for online shops to use your cryptocurrency? overstock.com, expedia, eGifter, newegg, shopify stores, Dish, Roadway Moving company etc are some shops were you can use your cryptocurrency on daily basis. I can vouch for the convenience and user control over the transaction.
November 15, 2018, 07:53:19 PM
actually I want to use it and I am very sure that it will be very useful. but in my city no store has received crypto as a means of payment.
November 15, 2018, 07:44:42 PM
Nice. I personally love it. Every time i see that some service is available via crypto payments i do it that way. First i dont disclose my information, and it is quick and safe.
Crypto over card payment every day!

it's not unusual for us to do, because there are many factors that are the first problem that causes our government to ban the use of bitcoin to be used as a transaction tool and the second problem is there are no stores or trading businesses that use bitcoin and the third complex problem trade in regions that have not been reached by the banking system, and people who are not familiar with bitcoin and the banking sector also do not support the spread of bitcoin currency in our country.

Only a few e-commerce sites can now pay in cryptocurrencies!
The main purpose of cryptocurrency is now to invest, and there is almost no use of cryptocurrencies in everyday life!
it's hard to say but that's the reality that is happening now. we are still having trouble to spending bitcoin everyday, but I do not rule out the possibility that the adoption will certainly make more merchants accept Bitcoin, it takes a long process to achieve that..

I use cryptocurrency in buying load. Definitely, I bought my prepaid load in a wallet that accept BTC. Aside from that, I withdraw my bitcoin came from the signature campaigns and trading market I earned in order for me to use it in my daily necessities. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are very helpful to me because I got money without a job, just by participating campaigns and airdrops.
November 15, 2018, 02:25:54 PM
Yes i use cryptocurrency in may daily life and they are really use full. Mainly cryptocurrency transaction systems. I live to use it because it us safe secure and also provide fast transaction facility with less trouble. It also help me in my international money transaction too. And for other online money payments. And use of cryptocurrency is investment. It use full for both short term and long-term investment purposes. I mainly use Cryptocurrency to fulfil my daily life needs. I mainly use it to by grocery, clothes, food etc.
November 15, 2018, 12:31:13 PM
I wish I can use cryptocurrency in my everyday activities but this is not yet possible in my country because there is no merchant accepting cryptocurrency yet in my country. Mainly, what I use cryptocurrency for is fund transfer and binary options trading.
November 15, 2018, 12:08:35 PM
I use cryptocurrencies once in a while for paying some services over the Internet that I need but I do not use them every day because in my country the adoption of bitcoin is progressing very slowly, in fact I have yet to meet a single person that uses bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency and I have tried to make people understand in the past about how important are going to be cryptocurrencies in the future but they do not listen.
So this forum is very important to me because I get to see and hear people that are very similar to me and that have the same expectations out of bitcoin, so I really hope that bitcoin makes a huge progress in my country during the next decade so I can finally find a person to talk about bitcoin and a business where I can buy something with it.

I just keep Cryptocurrency in my wallet to prefer in some big payments when I needed it to pay on some bills or some emergency and I think it is really useful while I'm working in a regular job to support my daily life. And I think Cryptocurrency is the great way to make extra money to prevent from over thinking where to get some emergency payments.
November 15, 2018, 07:02:57 AM
I have not used it at all, because in our country there are still appeals about the dangers of using crypto so that almost all fields have not supported crypto transactions and services
not really i'm using it as my part time job but definitely i use it because i know someday it is my guide to reach my goals and to overcome the all trials November 15, 2018, 05:31:33 AM

Sucks that we're kinda limited to utilize cryptocurrency that much yet, since it is yet known to give returns that's why investment becomes the utility of it first before it's various purpose the same idea as the physical money we already have. I am not fully sure if we're gonna truly reach to the point that it will be mainly a secondary way of payment while not replacing the other methods like usage of Visa, Paypal and such. I know its aim won't hurt the physical money unless government goes fully against it. 
November 15, 2018, 05:30:57 AM
Not really i just usually hold them or convert it to fiat from time to time when i have no more money for playing computer games, food and lifes daily necessities. I usually invest my crypto to make profit after all, i only have a few crypto and it's my source of income. By the way nice choice of topic for the research its good to know that some students knows about crypto currencies.
November 15, 2018, 05:25:55 AM
The cryptocurrencies is the part of my life because i do some trade and some investment online , my position is only computer attendant so my salary is not enough to my daily need and because online is my work i find a useful earning like crypto and im so thank this.

maybe for countries that have formalized the crypto currency as the currency that applies as a legitimate currency of course it is very useful because it is more practical efficient and fast but in my country crypto currencies are still prohibited for transactions directly
Even in countries where it has been legalized, you will hardly see any business that is accepting Bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies. I guess that’s because it is unstable and wouldn’t be good for them to use in pricing their product. There are businesses that accept it for payment but they are not much. I have used it once on overstock.com to buy something. But after that once, never got to use it again. November 13, 2018, 05:59:35 PM
In my country cryptocurrency usage is ban by government but still we can use it in trading and if we want to withdraw then only way is to convert it to fiat currency through people to people trade only as this way no crypto trade is highlighted.
