buy steam games directly with bitcoins

there are plenty of good ones that will run in any computer that is able to run the old CS 1.6

also you can buy gift cards for United State stores, but you already know about it

This is a good example of a large company that is making Bitcoin available as a form of payment. I think the first big companies to take initiative will be online shopping companies, and probably someday amazon.com will be among these companies.

Through purse.io, you can buy stuff from amazon, and you even get a discount. I believe you can buy electronics at newegg using btcoin.

awwwwwwwwwwww this sounds so awesome but purse is apparently only for american citizens and newegg doesnt ship to my country. Forgot to say im in Korea

North or South?

I think you don't even know how to even convert bitcoin
Into fiat ( your currency).
Well it is not necessary for you to convert your bitcoin to use them.
You can directly make purchases using bitcoins.
If your are interested in games , steam is the best place
Where you can buy your games with bitcoins.
If you like coffee go to starbucks order a coffee pay with bitcoins.
And payment with bitcoins is very easy let me tell you.

why do not exchange your bitcoin in a local exchanger. you can go to local board of this forum, if I am not mistaken there is Korean boad, just check it out. then you can ask people there about local exchanger that will buy your bitcoin without identification.

But how would you change bitcoin to fiat on this forum if he doesn't have PayPal or a bank account? Without ID you can't have a credit card, so you can't have also PayPal. Huh

Where are your from Op? We can't give you any real advice if we have no idea where are you from, there are big internet shops located in the US like Overstock, Newegg, Dell and in the UK: Aria.
You can use plenty of 'less' official sites to buy stuff from - Shopawl.com - they can get you anything from banggood or aliexpress. You can get Amazon gift cards from gyft.com... and so on...
With Bitcons you will be able to build any PC you would like without even need of exchanging BTC to 'money'. Just google for bitcoin accepting shops in your region.

Few posts later he wrote he is from Korea. I googled for a few seconds and immediately found some eshops which are accepting bitcoin. I found also a korean service which pays for you at some big shops which don't accept bitcoins directly.

My friend introduced me to btc and I got a little bit of it to bet on some csgo matches. It was fun, but now I want to build my first gaming pc so I was looking for ways to sell my bitcoin.

However, sadly most sites required me to be either above 18 or wanted official government identification which I don't have.

So I was wondering, if you can buy something like amazon gift codes with bitcoin? I have enough for a nice quality power supply and it would be fun to spend it on amazon.

I can swap it for you. Escrow recommended.

When you expect to make a purchase or service from amazon rather than selling it to fiat, purse.io helps you through the join service provide for buying with bitcoin option in amazon.

If you have some bitcoin its better to store it than to sell it. But it hassle to store only so if you don't, you can invest it or trade it in any site. You can trade also in my signature in sooner. Or trade some of your bitcoin so that you can earn while you're still waiting and you can invest also.

when posts are telling the guy he can hand it to users in this forum..

.. it should dawn on people..

.. either most people dont know of many real merchants that accept bitcoin, or they themselves have not thought about bitcoin beyond this forum.
which goes to show bitcoin is not ready to go mainstream

bitcoin really needs to be at a point where people dont need to ask "where can i spend it" or have issues with conversion

Honestly speaking, selling or buying bitcoin here is the last place i would think about. There are lot of other ways to sell it. Depending on how you want your money: bank transfer, debt card, Paypal, Gift cards, there are a lot of choices Nowaday you just need a few clicks to get the money in your bank account in 24-48 h... Why waste time deal with unknow people, check his profile, escrow, bla bla bla... It's not difficult as well to use with any merchant, just get a bitcoin debt card and use it, rare are the shop not accepting Visa/Mastercard

im just saying bitcoin needs PEOPLE to push their local merchants for bitcoin acceptance
im just saying PEOPLE need to be more informed about what is available in their local area.
im just saying PEOPLE need to not require this forum as the central point. but instead know where locally they can get the information, tools, services and help they need.

bitcoin needs to expand its diversity in information, utility and accessability.

if peoples only answers are to go to this forum or use a debit card. then bitcoin is not really reaching its full potential, its instead locking its potential down into something that can turn out to be as useful as facebook credits. (not good).

everyone should be pushing to get bitcoin more open and more diverse

Ok i misunderstood your previous post then.

I think there is no problem, you can transfer your bitcoin to anyone you trust that have a credit card which he can withdraw your money with ATM and sends you money.
By the way, you can find some service here in this section of BT forums: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0
Which you can find some offers of amazon gift codes with bitcoin. or simply you can create a topic.
Good luck.

Why dont you just keep your bitcoins and even try to earn some more,rhe price of btc will just rise a few fold in 2-3 years.

As he said in the first post - he wants to buy a gaming pc and he has some btc amount which he wants to spend right now.. waiting 2-3 years isn't the best solution of his problem. Wink

You are right he need right now some bucks for his gaming pc he can use identification from his family members for buying from any reputable sites as few members already suggest in above posts without any problem

This guy doesn't have many options. He said he doesn't even have an ID card, so I suppose he also doesn't have a bank accound or debit card, which means he doesn't have PayPal account, so changing bitcoins to PayPal from the people on this forum isn't the solution.
And as franky1 said, generaly changing bitcoin to fiat isn't any solution at all.

@ to the OP
If you want to buy some electronics online, you can try those sites:
http://koreanbuddy.com/category/gmarket-korea/
https://www.newegg.com/

Both of them should send to Korea. Wink

You can actually buy services and goods with your Bitcoin, and you can get up to a 30% price decrease if you use services like Purse to purchase goods on Amazon. There are actually many things that can be bought with BTC these days.

On another note, to increase the amount of Bitcoin you have access to, you can trade things or services for Bitcoin. That's how I made my first stash. I have a background in Mac and Web development and developed Mac wallet versions that are compatible with older and newer Mac OS X systems for various altcoins.

Indeed. But this guy sounds like a complete newbie to bitcoin and he only has it incidentally. I'd suggest trying to exchange it on this forum with a trusted member who does PayPal and those sort of exchanges. There's always a risk of chargeback, but it can be done.

But you can buy gaming equipment somehow with bitcoin, can't you? Even from Korea??
