Are there people out there selling their goods and services that I can pay with bitcoin? I need some real places where I can pay with BTC without first converting to fiat.

It all depends on what part of the world you are - your country to be precise.
Precisely! its all a matter of your locality. Bitcoin or cryptos is not legalized in all nations and not every merchant are  crypto smart and as such, adopting it as a payment method becomes a problem.

When it comes to what can be bought with bitcoin, i'll say everything the fiat currency can afford to buy. What you buy when you trade is values and bitcoin is pretty valuable so, its just a matter of locating a crypto smart merchant. A good number of the is very close to you and that is, at the service board of the forum. if that doesn't help and disclosing your locality isn't such a cool idea, its best you look through the local board.

Bitcoin is still in early stages. Many companies want to accept Bitcoin as a payment method but they are concerned about regulations. There are many websites and stores accept Bitcoin but it is still so early. And Bitcoin is still very volatile. Because of these reasons we can use Bitcoin and other altcoins to send and get money which is better than Forex and other methods.

If countries start to create their own cryptocurrencies we will see many more stores will accept bitcoin in many countries. But we should keep waiting for now.

Well, you can actually pay everything with Bitcoin when you use services like bitrefill.com where you can buy coupons for Amazon, Netflix, Walmart and many more. Of course, there are also many services that directly accept Bitcoin like hosting, VPN providers or merchandise sellers, to just mention a few. In Germany for example, you can have delivered meal for Bitcoin, because the largest food delivery company accepts Bitcoin as payment option.

Gold has a number of industrial and commercial uses, including in jewellery and connectors in microchips and other electronics. Even although gold is no longer used as a currency, it is still has a variety of other uses which generate demand. If bitcoin is not used a currency, then it has no other use beyond baseless speculation.

Gold's industrial uses amount for only a part of its value. If gold's value was solely based on it, its price would only change when the industries that use it change. But this is not the case, because gold is also a store of value, which is one of the properties of money, and Bitcoin has this property too, so even if we imagine that no one will use it for payments, it would still have some value.

If you find a legit and reliable platform you can buy social media likes, shares, followers, upvotes etc with Bitcoin; you can buy Private VPN as well paying bitcoin or other altcoins. If you watch pornhub website; it is also a website, store etc that you can use bitcoin and crypto currencies. There are also platforms that gives gift card and receive bitcoin (and vice versa). it all depends on the service you crave.

Normally I use Bitcoin to buy things from online. When I buy a product from a local seller, I offer him to accept payment in Bitcoin. Because most of my money is invested in Bitcoin. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they disagreed to accept it because of its volatility. I also use Bitcoin to buy online gift cards, virtual Visa cards, and MasterCards for boosting my business page.
I consider at this moment to choose bitcoin as payment but when there's a dump of bitcoin price, I will not use my bitcoin instead, just hold this and become my asset. I don't regularly use my bitcoin purchasing online if does not important to me, I will not use my bitcoin because I threaten my bitcoin as a valuable asset that someday there will still have a profit.

Use your bitcoin if that is very important, but if not, I rather choose fiat upon having a payment option than choosing my precious bitcoin.

Why do you need places like that though? There is no need to spend your coins just for the sake of spending them. I mean, I'd rather hold my coins instead of doing that. That being said, there are multiple shops/online services (that I've personally tried) such as Shelly or Shoppy where you can buy accounts with Bitcoin, Mega.nz if you need cloud storage, ProtonVPN, and so on. The links shared by leo above is quite a good start.
While I agree that spending money just for the sake of spending money is a mistake at the same time I think we'll have the urge of spending some of the bitcoin that we have especially in a physical store, after all I have been spending bitcoin online probably from the first moment that I became part of this market but it was not until recently in which I found the opportunity to use my bitcoin in a physical store and quite honestly I did not need to do it but I did it to get the experience and maybe the OP is looking for the same.

I was thinking of the same thing but which I have spent some of my coins to online merchants accepting btc. Its not really neccesary but was just trying.

But then I also realized that $100  worth of btc today can be worth $500 worth of btc in the next few years. I remember spending 0.05 btc for worth $25 back in 2015.

In terms of buying goods with the use of bitcoin, there are very limited places where you can use it. As you can see, bitcoin is not yet regulated properly in every state so it is very normal to see that it is not being used yet in any country. Most of them still use fiat, we need to be patient because bitcoin has a lot more to achieve before it can finally be introduced to the world for real. There are a lot of things that needs to be considered first, the governments wouldn't approve suddenly about having bitcoin as a mode of payment and all we have left is to understand it and be patient till the time comes.

It depends on where you are based because ther are some ecommerce sites reserved for certain geographic regions, I do see other users have already shared the links of business who accepts bitcoin. Just in case if you are planning to buy stuffs with bitcoin then I would request you to change your plan because you may regret it later, bitcoin as a mode of cross-border payment or transaction is fine but not for purchasing goods as we shouldn't become an example like the guy who spend bitcoin for Pizza.

But maybe they have stores there in your country that bitcoin is acceprable for the payment you can look at it and because bitcoin is rising they have big possibility they accept it.

There are already a lot of places on where to use Bitcoin but you need to search for them since not every establishment in certain places accept Cryptocurrencies, yes, we might have heard news about some famous establishments about them using Cryptocurrencies as payment but it might only be useful at specific countries and place. We can buy groceries and other necessities with Bitcoin but the fastest way to use Bitcoin is to convert them into fiat so we really can use them everywhere.

If you are willing to say what country you are located in, then you might get some more specific suggestions.

OP needs to be more specific as well when he said "goods and services".

There's a lot of goods out there, without him being specific, we can't look for him the goods that he wants that could be paid by Bitcoin, same goes to the services he mentioned. Also, including the amount of Bitcoin he has that he's willing to spend will help us to recommend something for him that'll fit the budget.

Anyways, I hope this will help 10 places where you can use bitcoin online and offline

Yes Bitcoin is popular in developing countries and is supported by the local government which allows them to buy a lot of things with Bitcoin using Bitcoin money like Fiat. Even if the transaction costs a certain amount of money through MasterCard, Visa Card or any other means there is no such problem when shopping in stores with Bitcoin Everything can be bought from the website with bitcoin In some countries, including the united states and canada it is possible to make purchases through Bitcoin in online transactions. Using Bitcoin is as simple as sending a message via ordinary email or mobile phone.

Gold is not used to buy anything in stores or online, yet it's still very valuable.

If bitcoin is not used a currency, then it has no other use beyond baseless speculation.

Not saying here that no one should spend their Bitcoin, but I don't think we should force ourselves to, especially if it means having to take worse offers, higher fees and other inconveniences.
I often find I can get better deals when paying by bitcoin than when paying by a fiat card. A number of merchants I use offer discounts of up to 10% for paying in bitcoin since it avoids them having to pay credit card fees and other fiat processing fees. If shopping from a big retailer, then a number of gift card sites sell gift cards for bitcoin at or below the fiat price as well as offering a few percent in rewards

This is a topic title that is quite intriguing and quite confused because it is asked by those who may already be familiar with Bitcoin, although not specifically. Obviously we follow crypto because there are bitcoins and altcoins that can be used for all transactions if we have, of course, you just have to see their use whether in your own country it is recognized as a legal payment instrument !!! if not that means you have to exchange it for fiat and many can accept that exchange, so you can spend.

if you are traveling to a country and experience difficulties because you do not know that in that country can bitcoin be used !!!. You can follow forums in that country to ask for clear information there will be accurate information that you can do with your bitcoin.
because information is very easily accepted by you in bitcoin trading, and can be found in all forums and many can help you.

I think he just wanted to try for himself how does it feel to pay something with bitcoins physically. well, that's not easy though, especially when you live in the area where bitcoins are not recognized but if you find one, an honest review would really help well. I remember someone had some problem doing so when he paid with BTC on the restaurant and the payment wasn't successful because it's taking so long than usual.

Yes, we all want to see a higher price, but a higher price only comes with increasing adoption, and increasing adoption only comes with people actually using bitcoin for its intended purpose - a currency. If everyone stopped spending and transacting with bitcoin right now, the price would rapidly fall to nothing.

There has been so little Bitcoin adoption by consumers and merchants in the recent years, and still the price grows. Bitcoin will not be worthless even if no one uses it for consumer transactions. Gold is not used to buy anything in stores or online, yet it's still very valuable. This current rally, which already brought us from $10,000 to $23,000 is driven by institutional investors, who say that they buy Bitcoin because they view it as a hedge against inflation. I don't remember any of them saying that they believe that Bitcoin will be a popular payment method.
 
Not saying here that no one should spend their Bitcoin, but I don't think we should force ourselves to, especially if it means having to take worse offers, higher fees and other inconveniences.

Indeed. Bitcoin had really dominate also the market in reality. Bitcoin today can be used almost in any transactions like buying online and even in offlines. Bitcoin is one of the best thing that happened to us these past few years. Who knows that it will be a big thing today and it will gonna rise the value of it like to the moon. Bitcoin can be used specifically in buying online items, online foods and online transactions. Also, bitcoin provides a less hassle ttansactions because you just only need to bring your gadget that can be used in using your savings. But we all know that bitcoin is a very risky cryptocurrency in terms of value because it is decentralized and not stable. Yet bitcoon also provides a lot of different ways on earning it. You just need to know how and where to earn so that even in small steps, you can earn good. And buy those things you want and need.

I think you already have your answers to your question, there are many links provided by some members, You can edit your thread and post what country do you live in so there would be more accurate suggestions for you, there are many different establishments that already accept bitcoin as the means of payment but it still depends on the country but doesn't spend tour bitcoin just to say that you have bought something with the use of bitcoin, it still better to keep on holding it.
