I am a big proponent of Bitcoin and its philosophy but the Bitcoin debit cards are made purely for profit for the companies issuing them. The fees are considerably higher than traditional banks. It's strange.

I spend them on online stores if that count, In my area there is no place accepting bitcoin or even a bitcoin ATM so can't use it physically even if I want to.

It, is so, sad we can't buy anything physically with bitcoin. But if you have a bitcoin debitcard you can use it in normal ATMs also.  No need bitcoin atm for it. Even you can use your bitcoin debit card in any shopping centers.

the problem with these bitcoin debit cards is they do not support all the world countries. and their fees are kind of high if your bitcoin spendings is low. for ex: for ATM withdraw you will pay 4 dollars as fees which in some developing country can buy food for one day
i must admit that it is a huge problem but if you want to buy food you can just use your phone or paper wallet in order to pay so you would avoid the big fees

i spend bitcoin in real life very rarely because i usually dont have anything to buy for it but i sometimes buy small electronics

That's true the fee is too high at a moment but lets hope that fess will reduced in future so that maximum people can take advantage of it, but as of now its difficult to spend bitcoins in real life as its used only for buying digitally.

unfortunately I have never because in my city nobody accept bitcoin. but there is a vacation spot using bitcoin in another city and maybe I'll try to use bitcoin.
you can use bitcoin debit card. i thik you purchase all goods by bitcoin debit card. I only say this but I have not tried maybe you can try and give a review to us
of course it will be difficult although use bitcoin debit card, because in my city no one is accept bitcoin.
and I do not know about it, if you know better, I'll wait for the reviews of you Cheesy
The same case is in my city, no one knows that what is bitcoin, only a small amount of people who are interacted with online world for their businesses. I think now the computer academies must have to introduce the courses of teaching about bitcoin and all crypto currencies. So that all the people are well aware with that technology.

Yeah, thats a good idea. Even we can do one more thing that conducting the workshop on the colleges to aware the younger generation about it. we will see some bright day where it is much popular with all the younger generation as facebook.

That job is well performed by the governments and those who can open their academies, or those who have some money to arrange events/seminars for it. With that more people will get awareness about it.

Yes I've recently bought a ping-pong table second hand from a friend of mine.
As he is interested in Bitcoin since a while, because I told him about it, I offered him to to pay with cash or Bitcoin.
He decided to take Bitcoin worth around $120 and we both are happy.

Bought a new computer (all from parts) awhile back, so I guess this is counted for real life purchase.

I also experienced it no shops or merchants who accept bitcoin in my county. even though it does not make me stay away from bitcoin. I use bitcoin to top up my phone. paying utility bills and so on. only that I can use from bitcoin all this time

We all are spending it online as we don't have any physical shop that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment, but spending it online is also fun, and the fun will multiply in future when we could spend it physically.

No I don't, I haven't found any store or shops here in my place that accepts bitcoin as payment, even in online shops, I still need to deposit it in an exchange site before I could pay an order...

i see that g2a will accept bitcoin.

we can get people to know if shops got bitcoin logo on teir stores idk the will see it and check it out
I'm fairly confident that most people already know what Bitcoin is by now, but chances are the reason they aren't more into it is because it doesn't add anything of value for them, and they're satisfied with the current economic system as it stands now.

What we need to do is tell more people about it, it's benefits, and why it is better for them overall, or at least why it is better than the financial system.
