No. Never used bitcoin as payment instrument. Only cashed out some mBtc and then paid with it. I know there is sites that accept bitcoin as payment directly, but I have never used any.
I don’t know if you consider using a bitcoin debit card a way of buying real physical things with bitcoin , but I have searched ages and ages for places where I could find something good to buy with bitcoin and the only thing I found are expensive machines for mining and video games, bitcoin debit cards were my only option and these take a lot of money to get.

i have tried multiple time finding a way to buy things with bitcoin but i ended up with only some expensive things that i don't need , so my option was to exchange it real money and then buying with it , until i found about credit cards that use bitcoin like e-coin so i started using it and now i buy anything i want from where i want using bitcoin.

because there is still no store accepting bitcoin in my country, so I need to pay extra shipment fee if I want to buy the things from internet, and because of this the items become more expensive, so for now buying things online is not really an effective option for me

Use Coinbase Account almosanywhere with Shift card
I would use BTC more at newegg but I'm close to the willcall location. But to use willcall you must pay by Credit card. that have to show the physical card at the willcall desd. I could use my shift card but it's all billed as USD the BTC is not shown.

Need to send them an email and see it they can accept make a qr code on the packlist of signed msg that only the holder of the paying address used can verify.

so I go make an online order for a willcall pickup. when I get there I scan the code and give them the result proving I own the address that paid for the order

it has been in more than ten different local businesses here for at least two years, they are working out the kinks, but there is no denying that many people missed the boat over the past 5 years.

I used bitcoin quite often, from paying my internet to paying my furnitures at overstock.com. It is great. But with value increasing in bitcoin, I guess I will need to preserve some of my bitcoins and hold it like the gold  Smiley

Do you know there is a drink called coffee?
I basically forced a friend to start using Bitcoin to pay my coffee in Satoshis!

he was skeptical but now he trusts the whole thing... and he sells coffee to me.

That's all good!

Paying btc to buy a coffee is really cool.

Not just coffee. It is everywhere now. Some of the travel agencies and bus operators started using bitcoin as payment gateway now, so it is in near future when we use it for other regular things too.  Smiley

Seems like it is realy hard to use it directly here in our place. Thank God it is easy to change it to fiat. When you got nothing you can use it as your sub money.

I just changed it now to fiat for buying my girl some stuff.

I have used Bitcoin to buy a gaming headset and gaming mouse. That was some time ago though.
I have used Bitcoins to buy foods from it. The Bitcoins is a real money to me because the local money which I am getting after selling the digital Bitcoins to the buyers is real. I always feel like the amount of money which is in hand is got transfered through Bitcoins only.

Yeah, even I don't have any physical shops that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment, I convert my bitcoins to local currency and then make purchases, I feel that I am buying it by using bitcoins, as the fiat that I am using to make purchases has been received by selling my bitcoins, no doubt I haven't used bitcoin directly yet to purchase any physical goods.

It was my mum's birthday yesterday. And I wanted to buy a birthday cake for her, but when I reached the bread shop, I realized I forgot carrying my wallet and I had only a few bucks in my pocket.  I tried to talk to the boss of the shop if I can pay by bitcoin, to my surprise, she said YES and finally I paid the cake by bitcoin.  Grin

This is my first time to use BTC as real money buying a real physical goods. 

As a bitcoiner, using BTC online is very common.  Have you ever used Bitcoin as Real money to buy Real/physical goods?  plz share your experience.   Wink


Until now not, but i will buy maybe something with bitcoins in upcoming months, tried many times here but unsuccessfully the sellers weren't honest.

Yeah, holding it at a moment is the best thing to do, don't spend your bitcoins on shopping as you can also shop using fiat so treat bitcoin as a investment and keep it safe for the future, its better to sell a part of bitcoins when price reaches the moon, I haven't bought any physical goods as I treat bitcoin as an investment.
In order for Bitcoin to become more valuable, it has to be valued by more people. Spending bitcoin will help spread the knowledge of it, which will make more people aware of it, which will make them value it.

Try to get your local shop to accept Bitcoin, and then spend it there to make it more valuable!

Using it frequently will also help the circulation. If there are some spare it might be better to use it. Hold your other coins but also help in the movement of bitcoin currency just by spending some. Just imagine how many will spend everyday and that will be a good thing.

I haven’t used bitcoin to purchase online before. I am the type that likes to purchase from Amazon, and bitcoin is not accepted. So, I haven’t made use of it to purchase, but I hope very soon I will be using bitcoin to buy goods online.

So you must have a lot of bitcoin now because you cant use it from different kind of purchasing websites. I think there is a lot there who accepts bitcoin. But keeping it is much more better.  Grin

I used Bitcoin often to purchase some services and goods online
And i hope that it becomes soon a global currency , so we can easily trading with Bitcoin's currency offline as well

I am also waiting for it to be global so that including me everyone become able to purchase with it as fiat money can buy. There are a number of countries which not even proceeded from their local currency to the USD. So waiting ....
