Like to know how far is adoption spreading... Tell us what you have used crypto to pay for and what platform!!
How easy was the process?
have been using bitcoin and ethereum to pay for my phone bills
I actually do it to support the use of crypto as a currency

I never used bitcoin to pay any payment with offline, but I already used bitcoin to pay phone bills online because there is a local third-party service for people from my country. But I still prefer to use fiat to pay my daily needs or my other expenses because I only need to convert my bitcoin to fiat first before I can pay that transaction. But I guess that in the future when bitcoin is accepted in my country, I will see that there is a local merchant that will want to accept bitcoin or another coin as the payment method.

Oh! Now I remembered.. I once used crypto to purchase a tech from a platform. What was the name again 🤔 Damn...can't recall vividly.

It is no problem to spend crypto in the netherlands nor to buy it. More and more online shops are excepting it.
Most larger retailers will use a fiat exchange on the back end when you pay them but the smaller ones tend to accept it direct.

Does it count if one used crypto to purchase the platform token and use token to purchase the service, simcard (not virtual) for example MiracleTele platform? Crypto is crypto right 😄

I've accepted Bitcoin for domain name sales. This was via direct p2p sales, and receipts from my registrar for sales through his market place.

There are still too few places where I live that accept cryptocurrency as a payment method, and even worse some of the few first movers who once accepted crypto payments, have now stopped accepting crypto. However the crypto community is growing, we are just hodlers.

I never used bitcoin or any other crypto to pay a service in my country.
I used a virtual credit card / real one, charged with bitcoin, but is not the same

Some bitcoin meet up in Roma o Milano offered the chance to pay with coins during meetings.
Fortunately I have not drink any cocktail valued today 300-400$ Cheesy

I used BTC once to purchase some toys from

They mainly offer electronics and toys, the process was pretty easy (though i can't remember which payment gateway they used, think it was BitPay) and the delivery fast.

In my post titled; Bitcoin adoption: Don't just sit down, do something I narrated how a barber I introduced to Bitcoin started accepting Bitcoin and that's the shop I have been barbing my hair ever since. Also in my post about The used of Bitcoin in Africa I highlighted online shopping as one of the ways Bitcoin is been used and personally I have shoped severally with Bitcoin although the price are always a little bit higher than fiat online stores. I have also eating in a restaurant and paid via bitcoin actually the restaurant owners doesn't accept Bitcoin but she runs a manual exchange service and when I requested to pay via bitcoin she accepted my offer (this happened last week and she showed interest in accepting bitcoin as a payment option that's if she sees s good number of customers willing to pay via BTC)

Thanks for reminding me, I visit barber regularly to keep my beard in shape and I saw a barber that I plan to visit to see how he works, has good reviews, and he is one of the first barber in my country that started accepting payments in BTC and ETH for his services. That will be my next BTC payment in my country.

Well, yeah there was a case after which I do not buy a thing per bitcoin now. In the forilum I saw an announcement about selling of IPhone 5 per bitcoin. Actually sum was smaller than in a shop, if to turn the price in dollars, so, I was hooked and scammed.

For me, using bitcoin for any payment in my country is like a day dreaming. Why? Because of the regulation, the rule clearly stated that the only legal payment method is using "Rupiah" (my country's fiat money). Means that other payment method is illegal, so if there is transactions/payments using bitcoin or any other method might result in a big problem as it is against the government's law.

In my country there are only a very few websites accepting bitcoin and im personally not interested in buying anything from there. Thats the only way i could spend bitcoin in my country so i prefer to keep it or use it for other services that i need.

Not yet as I haven't seen any service that accepts bitcoin as a payment here. I would most certainly use it if i saw one.
I however do use bitcoin for online shopping on certain bitcoin accepting vendors and other online services like cell phone voucher refills

I never spent BTC, but I did spend ETH, even though in was not quite in my country as I was abroad. I spent it while I was in Ireland through crpyto app to buy gift card for Amazon.

Yes.

I have purchased a couple of things from people in remote areas of the country. To avoid the fees forced upon us by eBay, Paypal and those of that ilk, we used Bitcoin and it worked just grand.

I've also sold two cars for Bitcoin, even listed my house at one stage for BTC.

It's the future man.

The Philippines are way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to BTC payments/acceptance. Its very impressive.

They can use coins.ph app to pay for all sorts of things. And they even have BTC atm machines.
