I don't think you'll find much documentation on it but one of the biggest use cases for bitcoin is remittance, people can send their money across borders to their home country or their family at little cost compared to more traditional methods such as western union.

I want to collect existing use cases for crypto currencies and also for bitcoin. Means, looking for cases where are crypto currencies and/or also Bitcoin already in active use and accepted.
I think that there are already lists here and there.. however, maybe they are not greatly maintained...
https://www.pcgarage.ro is an online store for computers, parts and electronics. They accept Bitcoin through Netopia as payment processor https://www.pcgarage.ro/info/plata/prin-bitcoin/
I've bought from them a couple of times already with Bitcoin.
Another online store is https://www.cauciucuridirect.ro where I've been buying tires (one time) for my car. They use BitPay as payment processor for Bitcoin.
Thanks for sharing. And yes there a lot of shops already accepting bitcoin or others. I am actually looking for different use cases, then just the use of a crypto currency as cash. Looking for things, where a protocol actually was used in the solution itself. As an example Crypto Kitties. The functionality of Ethereums smart contract is basis for this game and initiated ative transactions in the network.

Cardano Blockchain's First Use Case: Proof of University Diplomas in Greece
GRNET, the national research and education network of Greece, is working on a pilot project with blockchain research and development company IOHK to verify student diplomas on Cardano, a blockchain that launched in September.
The project is notable because it is the first official use case of Cardano, a proof-of-stake-based cryptocurrency and soon-to-be smart contract platform currently under development by IOHK.

bitcoin is accepted by thousands of stores and businesses already, both directly and indirectly ranging from luxury car brands to laptop brands, im all these cryptos have the potential of taking over the banking and payments system and introduce a truly cashless society.
