in my country is hard to use bitcoins daily and the services that work with that have bad ratios is better to use fiat just in my country but if you want to buy something in internet or buy in the frontier  using bitcoin is enjoyable my country is venezuela and the frontier country is Colombia.
use bitcoin more that are online. while stores that sell goods offline is still hard to find.

Hi
Is there anything like this which will help me to use Bitcoin in my daily life.Like we have a map on the app or web.It shows people nearby you that are accepting bitcoin and services.Like someone living nearby Mcdonalds, he will add that i will accept bitcoin and let you eat at Mcdonalds(you pay him bitcoins..he gives cash to you).Same as traveling people nearby you add their services that for which things they can accept bitcoin.

Is there anything like this already.
may be something like this in big country but in my country there is no like that . but a shop in neighborhood state which offers everything to buy with Bitcoin like purse , belt , perfume and recharge or direct cash also .

Me not yet since there is no store that accepts bitcoins here in my country but usually use it online
to online maybe you can use it, but it is impossible to buy goods online continuously because we have to pay for in the offline anyway, so I prefer to exchange it to fiat
You can easily use something like a Bitcoin debit crad or whatever to substitute for a normal payment system that doesn't use Bitcoin, for example Xapo has their own Bitcoin debit card that just uses the Visa network, and thus any store that accepts Visa card will also accept that debit card.

Using bitcoin in daily life is easy here in the Philippines. Although we don't use it directly, we can easily convert it into fiat. It is also like using bitcoin in daily life but it will be converted to fiat first. We use coins.ph web wallet to convert bitcoin to fiat easily and we can choose the easiest fiat claiming method that is convenient for us and it has many modes of payment. We can also use bitcoin to buy airtime for our smartphones etc.
I guess that's good, because it is very rare areas where you can use bitcoin in everyday life. Well, in my place, I could only use bitcoin to pay for internet, or buy games from the internet. besides, if I need something I have to redeem my bitcoin beforehand in the form of money to be able to use it

I can exchange them fast and pay cash for my things
Yes.In place where bitcoin shops are not available,you can always convert them to your local currency or to USD and then USD to your local currency.This has opened many possibility for bitcoin users
But this adds lots of fees and every time you convert one currency to another you lose some money too and then you add banks fees as well, one of the purposes of bitcoins was to allow users to bypass fees.

The moment you convert your bitcoins the advantage of low fees is gone. And you are indeed better off by just buying it in fiat. Using a card helps but for me using bitcoin is mostly online, not as much as I wish I could but still i use it.
I think you will be benefited only if you are a gambling who regularly do gambling, like me since NBA has already started, I can actively spend my bitcoin in gambling and that is the major part of my spending online because I do not love to shop as well.
We can spend or coins not only in gambling, there are a lot of thing to buy with bitcoin, look at the services, goods and digital goods sections, you can buy videogames, gold precious stones, digital products, etc.

I also do not have any place for me to use bitcoin offline in any store in my country and I am suing it only for online use and that is also my real life use as I do use that things for my real life.

Same thing here. There is no way to use Bitcoins in daily life. Too few shops and stores accept it as currency yet. I think we will need to wait many years yet to start using BTCs in our daily life like our local currency. Most people still fear this kind of virtual money and thinks it's just a fashion that will finish anytime.

I can not use my bitcoin in my daily expenses because i only earn few amount of bitcoin and it is hard to spend here bitcoin directly here in my area no stores are accepting bitcoin yet, i only do exchange bitcoin to fiat before i can spend it.

Actually a really small amount of people in bitcoin community are able to spend their bitcoins without exchanging them because there are limited stores in the world that are accepting bitcoin right now, and all others do the same as you and i do which is exchanging and spending.

Yeah that is the only choice we have and converting bitcoin to fiat involves fees and that is not profitable if you are doing it on regular basis so better option is to use bitcoin debit card.

That's true as we are not yet able to do it because not too many services allow such usage, and almost none at local level, which is why we are still dependent on fiat to use bitcoins even if we are to use it daily...

Yeah but I don't think there is any point in using it on daily basis as its also an investment for us so its better if we manage to save them for future to get higher profits from it.

No it is not only an investment for us but it is a normal currency for online use and we can use it as normal currency on a number of places and we can convert it easily to any currency like all other currencies.

Yeah it is our same problem, in my country also difficult to find store / any facilities adopt bitcoin.
When you use your bitcoin only while the price increases is like trading bitcoin dude. I think it is good idea .

Even though there are no any merchants near my place here accepting bitcoin i love to use my bitcoin in online sites for mobile recharge, shopping for digital goods as well as paying for domains.
You are right that there is many people face to this problem that bitcoin is not acceptable for direct shopping but i hope that in the future bitcoin will acceptable for direct shopping in everywhere and then bitcoin bitcoin will be more increase its price to higher value.

I use it online to buy offline items once in a while but never used in directly in a shop or the like, There aren't any shops that offer such option of payment right now... I do agree that it will be amazing if you could for example use it in the supermarket..

That would probably have been great if bitcoins were accepted in supermarkets near us but unfortunately bitcoin is not yet that much popular in the world and it is just accepted in a few places which is limited.
For now its limited to use but i hope we will be the same as brazil that has 150 stores accepting bitcoin as payment.
And I think its nearly adopted here in my country since we are seeing more merchant like newegg and namecheap that accept bitcoin as payment..
