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.
Yes, there are a lot of people out there willing to sell their goods and offer services that youcan pay with Bitcoin but first you must be specific on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a real place I think Japan would be great.

There is one bar and restaurant near my place that already been accepting bitcoin and other crypto coins as a payment. To tell you honestly, I still haven't try to pay my btc to such places as the fees are higher with bitcoin's new ATH at the moment. But it was a grear experienced one time last year when I went back to my province and pay btc in a gasoline station.

Hope you can find one near your area so you may not need to convert it into fiat and directly pay goods using your btc.

Many things can be purchased using bitcoin, bitcoin is a digital currency and can be used to purchase anything in the world. In some nations bitcoin isn’t authorized so bitcoin enthusiasts in those countries hide all their bitcoin activities and account. In such countries you can’t come up straight and purchase anything using bitcoin because of the government policy.

Why should you be looking for how to spend your bitcoin, you should be saving it or better still look for better investment platform to appreciate your bitcoin.

In my own opinion, I would rather use bitcoin as an asset or investment. Bitcoin as a digital currency is a little bit complicated and costly when use in payment due to transaction fee from the third party service taken that if the establishment accepts bitcoin and convert it to fiat. We know that this is mostly the reason why it is costly to use bitcoin as payment due to the fact that establishment that accepts bitcoin does not literally accepting btc as btc rather a converted btc to fiat currency to get a more stable currency for their operational expenses in the establishment to get. They need to get the profit for them also to spend it in order to continue their service.

I don’t believe OP asks this question because it really needs an answer, because someone who deals with SEO should know how to search the internet when it comes to such a simple thing.

It could also be that he asked it here so other who may need the answer (in the future) can be referred to this thread. Or maybe, he just wanted to know. I'm saying this cause his question was simple and straightforward to be suspicious.

Actually when it comes to utilization, bitcoin as a digital currency has low use compare to fiat currency but it still could be use like fiat currency as an exchange for products and services. Yet, most of the bitcoiners see bitcoin as an asset, or reserve money for future use. Holding bitcoin for long term means it will be good for them because bitcoin value is just like the new gold that can go expensive over a period of time.

If you want to use Bitcoin as payment, there are quite a few websites that accept Bitcoin payments, you can search on google or
there are many members here who share website links to spend Bitcoin. I am happy to hear that if someone wants to buy goods
or pay for services with Bitcoin, this means Bitcoin can be useful as a currency. Like Satoshi Nakamoto's original goal of creating Bitcoin.

Sure there are people out there who offers their services and can be paid with bitcoin. I believe there are websites in the internet where you can find such, including those which have been mentioned before me.

Aside from services offered by people, you can also buy goods like clothes, food, or other merchandise with bitcoin. Here in our country, several online shops are accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment. I just don't know about yours but maybe you can try and explore. There could be shops accepting bitcoin as well that you don't know yet.

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.

It all depends on what part of the world you are - your country to be precise. These days, it's almost possible to buy anything with Bitcoin due to how popular it has become in the last 2-3 years. Now, I'm not talking about just using BTC to shop only on online retail stores you can also use it to purchase things like:

- Food
- Airtime & Data
- Clothings
- Real Estate (I know some real estate that accepts Bitcoin as a payment method)
- consumer goods and services: there's a ton of products and services you can purchase using Bitcoin.

The list of things you can purchase with BTC goes on and on and what's more is that the list keeps growing with each passing day. At the end of the day it does depend on the country you live in, the businesses and merchants that accepts it as a means of payment.

Well, we need first to know which country OP comes from so that we can give more specific suggestions to him.
I agree with some other suggestions above, why would you spend your bitcoin than holding it, just wait for a little and there will be a good opportunity that bitcoin will increase furthermore compared as we saw now. Bitcoin becomes more expensive year by year and I think it deserves to hold in your wallet and wait for a better opportunity when is the selling point. But if you really like to spend it, just visit the links already dropped above.

If you can still afford to pay with the money in your pocket, why not.
if you are spending bitcoins only to pay for something you can pay for with other alternatives. save your bitcoins for the long term.

That's the reason why we should also invest on altcoins that are existing in the market.

Altcoins are also profitable which you can use to sustain your needs or if you have something to buy or pay for.

Bitcoin should be the main asset and should be a priority, if you spend it when bitcoin's price increases that's clearly a wrong decision and you can't turn back time when you already spend it and make transactions with it. So it is much better if you just store it and observe the market with full attention.

There are many places in my country where you can buy commodities and pay with bitcoin without any question from the seller. Many supermarket and shops in the country accept bitcoin for payment which it has reduced so many bank transaction strength and delay in the country.
Many countries never still legalized bitcoin in their country because they think it doesn't have any impact to their country. Many people have use bitcoin to become a great man and women because they know how to use it to invest and how to use it to sustain in the community. Those countries that bitcoin is not legalized yet, find it difficult to see where to use their bitcoin to buy goods and services in the country.

This looks like an updated article.
https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/who-accepts-bitcoin/
You might want to try it.

But please do check it first since I haven't tried some of the services there.
Also, if you want a better answer please provide more information like the country that you prefer to use it.
Although I really doubt you are going to spend it with the nonstop pump.

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 recommed using a crypto card provider.
The problem with using a card which converts bitcoin to fiat for you on the go is the same as all centralized methods for converting bitcoin to fiat - privacy. You must open an account, you must complete KYC, you must verify your identity, you must send copies of all your documents, and the card provider will store all of that on record, as well as monitor your balance, your transactions, what you are buying, where you are buying it, how much you are spending on it, and will share that information with their fiat banking partners, your government, and probably some ad agencies and other third parties too. The appeal of paying with bitcoin without first converting to fiat like OP asked is that you can avoid all of this and use bitcoin as it was designed - without intermediate third parties. If the merchant I want to shop at does not accept bitcoin, then I would much rather either find a gift card I can buy anonymously or find an alternative merchant than complete KYC for a card.

You could probably find a few stores in your country that accept bitcoin, Bitcoin is still in the process of adaptation so there are only a few physical stores that accept bitcoin but for sure you could find one locally.

Here are some websites where you could spend your bitcoin. Remember that websites might not accept bitcoin anymore because of the price volatility.

https://www.gyft.com/
https://www.jmbullion.com/
https://www.overstock.com/
https://www.ghostbed.com/
https://purse.io/shop
https://localbitcoins.com/

In my opinion, bitcoin is the best for investment at this moment and not for spending because of the volatility in the market price.

I think it's good that there are people who still view Bitcoin as money (like the op), not merely as an investment. I'm not spending my BTC directly, but it doesn't mean I don't want to. I don't really care about the price drama anymore, I just want to live long enough to see Bitcoin being accepted in supermarkets and cafés, salaries being paid out in BTC if the employee wishes so and stuff like that. Unfortunately, we're far from that now because even though lists look impressive, it's still a very tiny amount of places in comparison to where one can pay with fiat.

I recommed using a crypto card provider. Theoretically you don't have to convert to fiat yourself, they handle that part for you. The fees are quite low IMO if you don't make big monthly movements.
You can find a lot of digital and some physical products you can even in this forum. Check out the "Goods" section. Wink

I don't know about your country, but in mine there are a few reputable online stores that accept BTC payments. Make sure you check the payment options. They might no make a big fuss about them accepting crypto payments.

So many service providers are trying to integrate bitcoin for there payment options, to make it easy to use there platforms, products and services. But if you look at it I will say there are just trying to lore people to give there bitcoin cheap to them if you look at the price predictions to come that's why I prefer to hold my bitcoin.
