Just a curiosity question really. Well, a 2-part question:

1) I see a ton of "merchandise" on Bitcointalk, Bitify and maybe even one more, but it seems like it's all software codes, prepaid cards, subscription services (HULU for 1 year, Spotify for 1 year, the list goes on here) - I've actually tried listing in both several times with no success with items I thought would have been fairly good sellers, such as: iWatch, brand new motorcycle helmets priced dirt cheap, digital cameras), and a few other items I thought would be big seller. Why are people not jumping on huge deals here?

2) What ARE the items that MOST people are HOPING will be added to marketplaces by more sellers? Seems like again, all you see are prepaid services, subscriptions, etc..

Or is this ALL due to lack of adoption, therefore a LOT less of the planet knows how to buy/use BTC, therefore, anyone selling has a much smaller buyer pool for their products? Any insight or helpful knowledge would be greatly appreciate.

Thank you!


in my opinion the most desirable for now are also digital products such as mobile phone credit, online game voucher payment and last steam account as well as paying for electricity and water bills but for installments with considerable value, it must still be considered.

Cat food.  I'd really like to be able to buy wet cat food in bulk.  If there's a place that takes bitcoin where I can buy some, I'm all ears.
How about purse.io? Never tried this site before but they recommend this as an alternative for Amazon that you can buy anything you want with bitcoin just make sure that the product you are looking for is listed on Amazon and it should be in stock.

The good thing using purse.io you can get discount up to 33% according to their article from here https://blog.purse.io/shopping-on-purse-101-389400facdfc

Also, don't forget our forum we also have a place where you can buy a physical product like ASICminer, GPU, and whole PC from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0

Have you tried to use purse.io? I use their search engine and tried this term "wet cat food" and it shows list of cat foods including the item you are looking for.

Purse.io takes BCH only or does it also take btc?

I have bought a plane ticket with dash, domain names and hosting with btc. For the airfare I used cheapair.com and for the domain name and hosting namecheap.
I hope to be able to buy groceries with btc one day.

Seems like computer stuff is popular--I've bought quite a few things on Newegg, including a new PC, headphones, and a few other things.  And while not endorsing this, you can buy gray-market pharmaceuticals like nootropics and kratom with bitcoin, though I don't know how popular that market is.

I think what people really want is for big retailers to start accepting bitcoin, e.g., Amazon, eBay, and other places where they tend to shop the most.  Overstock.com does take bitcoin, but I haven't found much on that site worth buying.  They don't even sell cases of cat food last time I checked, and most of the writing instruments I was looking at were kinda crappy.

Never used Tor or bought anything on the dark web, but I'm pretty sure bitcoin is very useful there.  Not surprising, but it'd be nice if more big online merchants started taking it.  I'm not a big proponent of using bitcoin as a currency, but there have definitely been times when I've had more bitcoin than cash and I've chosen to spend bitcoin on things.
