Yes I bought Magic cards with it at ABUgames. It was the first time I used it, because I dont have a CC, and it worked very nice. The cards were quickly delivered from the US to the EU.

There are no stores accepting bitcoin in my city that I know of.

no, i didn't buy real physical goods yet, from my point of view bitcoin is undervalued so i think the best thing you can do is to hold them at the moment, at least for now.
also i don't know why but buying physical things now with bitcoins is a little bit expensive or at least that's my feel, i think that someone are trying to take advantage of the moment

Even I haven't used bitcoins to buy any physical goods yet as very few in my country are aware about the bitcoins and I haven't found a single physical shop that accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment, so I generally use it for online transfers or when I am in need of cash I just convert it to fiat currency to take care of my basic expenses.

I have only purchased a flight using cash that I sold from Bitcoins, so that is a sort of right? It wasn't directly but indirectly it helped me out, I don't think they have somewhere you can use Bitcoins to purchase a flight yet.

No not yet.Given the slow speed at which people are adopting bitcoin in my country,I doubt if I can buy anything with bitcoin in next 5 years
Why? Debit cards don't exist in your country? You can get an international BTC Debit card and it work as long as your stores accept debit/interact. And then you can use BTC all over the world with online sellers.
Sending your documents online to "verifiy" your account is risky,
Nowadays also the SSL connection is not very secured as advertised and your documents can go to the thieves.
Since we don't have any other option we should risk, but these bitcoin debit cards are good but bit-x will increase its fee/price.

Hehe you are lucky enough dude, that boss knows bitcoin, and you can be his loyal customer, make friend with him, and you can discuss bitcoin more.
For me, I didn't buy real thing by bitcoin, and I bought virtual things like altcoins, in my country, most of people don't know bitcoin, hardly buy real things by bitcoin.

no, so far i have never used bitcoin to buy anything physical. in fact i have not used bitcoin to buy anything that much (i hope it changes in the future though). i have only used it to buy a couple of digital stuff which i used online.

Unfortunately no. I'm earning bitcoins just for spending then buying CS:GO skins because in my country (Brazil), there isn't a lot of places that accept bitcoin as payment method. But my dream is to buy something real with Bitcoins and that is why I spend my whole day earning BTC through some high payment faucets and investing them.

yes I did the first product which I bought is a watch I payed him in bitcoin and later he transfered the btc into his bank account and yes now some shopping malls are going to accept btc soon
September 27, 2015, 07:16:03 AM

Really? Not sure what card you're basing this on but even the Bit-x one, loading is free. Its not even loading, it just use your BTC wallet balance. The catch is currency conversion rate, they keep 2.5-5%.
That i cannot argue, is too much. And the limit for anonymous is 300$. For a daily things, doing the grocery, buying small stuff, its perfectly sufficient.
But its true i don't do it that way, its still too expensive. Instead, now i just sell BTC and send the money to my bank account. I used to use Bylls.com to drop it in my credit card, but now Coin Base support Canada and its 1%+1$ but Coin Base price is 1.6% over BTC price. Meanwhile the transfer only take under 1 day.
I wouldn't really count in using Bitcoin debit cards as buying goods or services for Bitcoin. This is just a workaround of us, the Bitcoin community until we don't grow enough to be able to spend our BTCs directly with merchants.
And this is also a quite expensive workaround and I don't see people using this in a long run. They are better off paying with their credit cards and use bitcoins only with merchants that accept them directly.
But 1% isint bad, even credit card take 2.5% or more from the merchant. The difference in price is why many online retailers has added bitcoin through payment processors to their checkout.
Even if the payment process take 1-2%, its still better than credit card. So overall if for instance CoinBase made a credit or debit card for their online wallet for 1%, it would still be a reasonable service.
As thus, the ability to send cash to my bank account within 24 hours for 1%+1$ is reasonable to me, even though i'm biased by previous method. If the seller could eat the 1% fee for the buyer on the account of saving some % compared to credit card, that would be pretty cool however.
