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.

You are right even I did not find any physical stores which accepts bitcoin. We need more adoption from retailers and stock dealers to have bitcoin to accepts in the local stores. For your remainder you have done the double post in the thread.

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.
I also love to use my bitcoin online because thats the only place where we can use it,i am not the owner of large amount of bitcoins to i do limited stuffs with bitcoin to buy online or i just use them at bitrefill for my mobile recharges,which is part of our daily life ofcourse.
Mobile recharge is also one of the most uses of me for offline use of bitcoin but besides these I am also trying to go to any online store with which I will be able to buy things for my real life from there with the payment of my bitcoins.

It will be good only for those who will treat it as an currency but for those whom its an investment will never spend their coins in shopping as they will prefer to hold them for a long term to earn higher profits from it in future.

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.
I do not know where to buy any stuff with bitcoin. May be I have to convert it into fiat first, then I can use it for daily life. If there are any place near my home that accept bitcoin, the next problem is long time transaction confirmation.

Yes and if the problem of transaction time doesn't get resolved then most of the users will never prefer to spend them even if it gets widely accepted as it will really waste time.

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.

Bitcoin in daily usage has a log way to go. It is a currency which is hardly 6 to 7 years of existence as compared to the decades old paper currency. As and when the technology matures and more and more merchants start accepting the digital currency, bitcoin will find its place in our day-to-day life. In addition to the usual e-commerce activities that bitcoin will be used for, bitcoin will play a major role in some very significant activities of social interest. For example, each household will be able to generate solar power and will be able to sell excess power using blockchain technology and bitcoins. satoshis can be used in school curriculum to teach our children investments, savings and much more activities based on real use cases. Similar to these, there will be a sea of blockchain innovations that will come up in coming years and bitcoin will inch slow and steadily towards mass adoption.

I would love to use it every single of it if I ever earned some of it. Lol. You can pay your bills through the use of btc, though. It's very convenient.

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.

The usage of bitcoin in daily life is limited only to online world and we cannot use them in real life at a moment directly to buy anything unless you exchange them to fiat and use them for shopping.

The idea is nice and I don't think there is anything offering it like this "the only thing is peer to peer deals which are not even close to how automated this is", The main difficulty would be the execution since it would be relatively complicated to make and to use for the users as well.
