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.

Quote from: LittleBitFunny on December 21, 2020, 04:12:31 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

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.

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.

I don't completely do it because I tend to hold on to it for the long term, and only a small part to spend on urgent needs when I don't have money or need extra.
And in the country where I live, bitcoin or other crypto cannot be used as a transaction tool and must be converted
become fiat in order to be able to make any purchase or transaction, and although there are lots of transactions using bitcoin out there, but I would prefer to change it and will use bitcoin if it is available in my country.

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. By the way, this is just one of Cyberczar's alt accounts.

You can use Purse.io to purchase stuff on Amazon using your bitcoin, and with discounts too.

Quick note though, if I remember correctly the last time I used this service was in 2017, so do your due diligence about the service as I don't have the slightest idea on how good/bad Purse.io has been since the last time I've used it.

if you are spending bitcoins only to pay for something you can pay for with other alternatives. save your bitcoins for the long term.

Completely disagree.

If no one spends bitcoin, then current merchants will stop accepting bitcoin and new merchants won't bother going to effort of setting up bitcoin wallets or payment processors. If nobody accepts bitcoin as a payment, then bitcoin can't be used as a currency. If it isn't a currency, then it has failed at the very reason it was created, and becomes next to useless. 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 is nothing preventing you from being both a holder and a spender, both holding bitcoin for the long term while also contributing to its ongoing growth and increasing adoption. Next time you are buying bitcoin, buy extra - send some to your long term storage, and spend some at various merchants who accept it. Or follow the "spend and replace" strategy. The more people who spend bitcoin frequently, then the faster we will see widespread adoption. You want your bitcoin price to increase? Then spend it.

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.

If you can still afford to pay with the money in your pocket, why not.

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.

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

For the time being, there are a number of directories out there of bitcoin accepting sites, merchants, retailers, etc. Take a look at some of the following:
https://spending-bitcoin.com/
https://debitpay.directory/
https://coinmap.org/

There are also the big brands such as Overstock and NewEgg.

There are also gift cards you can buy directly with bitcoin for thousands of different retailers all over the world. Take a look at this thread for some more info: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-gift-cards-providers-5208530
