To me bitcoin is just a long-term investment, there are very few services that use bitcoin to pay, so I often exchange them for fiat money, I think it's not like they don't want to use bitcoin to buy goods. but because there are very few payments using bitcoins, want many people use it, there are necessary to have many services that use bitcoin as payment methods.
I also oftenly exchange my bitcoin into fiats because i need to provide the the basic needs of family and pay the bills at home, and bitcoin is not yet accepted in our country, that is why i can't use my bitcoin as a payment method in real stores. I can only use my bitcoin in onlone shopping sites and buying prepaid loads because here in my country we use our wallets to make online transactions.

Enabling bitcoin API is not the big deal for any business people. But the fact and the main problem is there by the government only. If the government allows to use the Bitcoin mode of payment.
We may find the investors and normal people to use the BTC but this world politics and Government is the biggest problem as of now.
When something gets big opposition, through the opposition itself we can determine the potential of the specific thing. Here we are about to discuss on the usage of bitcoin into commerce. For instance, right now most of the transactions were in the form of bitcoin were done. Normal people and investors to use bitcoin same as currency takes more time.We may find the investors and normal people to use the BTC but this world politics and Government is the biggest problem as of now.

My total source of income is earning Tokens and Ether since two years ago. Naturally, I take my tokens to the exchange, I acquire Ether because the fees are lower to withdraw, then I make a quick exchange (swap) in another exchange platform to BTCitcoin.
As in my country, the merchants still do not accept cryptocurrencies. I sell my bitcoin in ATMs online. I always make a small reserve in my portfolio to save.
Seeing it between the lines "I make purchases with my BTCitcoin but the merchants don't know it yet
".
I think that adoption will come in countries where their currencies are unstable and with high inflation sooner rather than later.

Have used crypto to spend, in my eyes no point in not using something that is meant to have transactional value. Sites like anchor-x.io (used to be bitcoinsuperstore) you can literally buy anything you want there from goods to travel to food. And an added bonus of being able to spend Viacoin there.

Yep, I have done a lot of times and I’m still doing it till now. Right from the start it has always been about using bitcoin for doing business and receiving payment. First I started with Bitcoin as time goes on I started to use Ethereum as well. So, I started with making use of it for a regular transaction before I got hooked with investment as well and it has been really good.
But, anyone making use of bitcoin really has to be careful and mind who they are sending the money to, to avoid sending to the wrong and losing their money.

Sure, I shop online with Bitcoin regularly. Purse.io gives great discounts on anything from Amazon I would have bought anyhow. I've still yet to incorporate it into my business dealings. Something of a credibility issue at the moment that I'm not prepared to deal with. Later, I suspect it will be commonplace and much easier and more acceptable to incorporate. However, I'm about to explore internal payments via BTC in my business as a replacement to more expensive centralized solutions.
Bitcoin still needs massive education in the retail space and significant discounts are only partially working at the moment.
Volatile prices are what scares retail away right now. Personally, I'm not convinced that Bitcoin will end up as a currency or that it needs to.

Honestly, i earn bitcoin by trading, investment, and joining signature campaigns. I been able to buy goods and pay bills using my bitcoin by converting it into fiat because there are only few stores who accepts bitcoin in our country. I can only buy things using my bitcoins through online stores.

In my side, I use bitcoin as my main source of funds then convert it to fiat. but as bitcoin itself I haven't try it yet because there is no such establishments will accept bitcoin as payment as of now. if there is one that will accept soon then I will make bitcoin as my main option for my transaction everyday.

i have never used any cryptocurrency for daily usage. i have always been thinking that crypto ecosystem is at the very beginning stage and it is still a little bit early for me to use it. moreover it does not sound nice for me to spend my cryptocurrencies to buy something. i invested in them to make profit, not to spend when they are cheap.
Nothing wrong with that but it is also important to begin to use our cryptocurrencies as currencies otherwise no one is going to accept them as a form of payment because no one is using them and if that happens we are never going to get the adoption that we want and ironically you are not going to get the profits that you want either as your investment will begin to go down in value as it is only used by speculators, as you can see we are in a very interesting stage in the development of this market but if we overcome it I think this will be the last hurdle we need to get past so finally people begin to notice cryptocurrencies.

I usually don't use my bitcoin in my case because I think it's a saving, but sometimes I give some bitcoins to a friend as a payment form, but if it's like a restaurant or other establishment then I haven't used it. However, there are only a few establishments in our region that accept bitcoin, which is why we had to trade it for us to purchase goods or services in the accepted currency.
Keep doing that. You should look for the long term opportunity of having bitcoin compare to using it as a currency to pay services or things that you are buying online or offline. Even though there are stores here near to my place that accept bitcoin, I still keep it because I know that it will be worth more in the future. January 03, 2020, 07:02:42 AM
Right from the start, since bitcoin isn't really widely used yet before, I am using it only to sell prepaid loads to my friends online. So they can pay me in bitcoin even if we aren't close enough. With this, I thought of better ideas to sell some services such as computer troubleshooting techniques online so that I could earn bitcoin and help others even anonymously. Though, the hard part for me is to sell and buy goods and items in bitcoin to other people because I still have trust issues to spend bitcoin and to wait for the item to be delivered.

I use bitcoin as a payment for utilities and there is nothing like this. I also use Bitcoin as a payment for everything that interests me in everyday life.
This is so exciting and relieving to see the practical applications of bitcoin in real life. We need more and more people to use bitcoin for paying the dues of their daily utilities and needs so that other people can get attracted to this currency as well. We need more and more people in this market to get it legalized all over the world. Legalization will further increase the value of bitcoin leaving all of us richer. but with the growth of bitcoin that continues to grow well and sooner or later bitcoin will definitely function as a means of payment, it only takes time and patience to prove everything.

I'll start: I haven't used bitcoin (because I consider that savings), but I have used dogecoin to buy gift cards and bitcoincash (BCH) to deposit to a betting website via BitPay.
Anyone else want to share their experiences?
I am still a beginner here in crypto world but, I see the potential of bitcoin currency in many financial transactions althrought the globe, still, for now, I ought to learn more first about bitcoin before spending it in real life and some other things. I want to save and invest it so my bitcoin would grow more and have a high income.

we do see that there were already merchants that do consider out on using or accepting btc or crypto as a payment and for a certain crypto user do live on that country
would really benefit out in terms of payment option.Theres no need for us to convert from time to time if we do tend to use it up when purchasing goods or services.
