I would willingly spend my crypto-currency on buying any kinds gadgets online. I feel good because it's less hassle if direct to buy without converting it to fiat.

But here in my country I can't do that. Because online shops here accept only card or cash. So I use the third party app coins.ph to convert my bitcoin to cash. And then buy what I want, pay bills and many more.

Could be an interesting site, definitely an interesting way for you to advertise it here though - creating a pretty clickbaity title and then provoking discussion about your site. I'll take the bait.

I've only really be interested in the PC part of electronics, and whenever I get to building a new rig, or upgrading, my go-to would be Newegg. Great prices, fast shipping, and it's a great way for me to cash out some BTC and save some fiat money.

I took a look at the marketplace, and I'm more so getting the ebay sorta feel from it? Not really a company selling parts to a customer, but more a P2P marketplace where people can sell used items to other people.

Could be interesting. Just need to see more items TBH.

I remember one person mentioning they spent all of what they earned on Steam games, every last satoshi. That was in 2015 when the price was around 40-50x lower than it is now. I would be utterly mortified looking at my Steam library in those circumstances.

That would suck badly, but probably not nearly as much as how Laszlo must feel thinking back about his 10,000BTC pizza transaction. It's cool and all that he will be remembered for that for ever, but I can't imagine that he isn't thinking about it from time to time, calculating how much his coins would be worth, where he could have been in life, etc.

Spending Bitcoin without replacing every single satoshi is just stupid, especially when you don't have the guarantee that you will earn them back because of how the price keeps going up.

It would be cool to see exchanges come up with an app or something that tracks your purchases and automatically replaces every spent satoshi. I recall Roger Ver to have plans to add a feature like that to his shitcoin dot com wallet, but meh, not going to use that to buy 'Bitcoin Core'....... Lips sealed

I use my entire cryptocurrency I earned in different ways. Sometimes it can be a simple refueling of a car, and sometimes buying books on the Internet. Most often I just transfer to a bank account.

You don't keep any of it at all?

Most of mine stays stored. I'm also quite selective about what I spend it on. I don't like letting go of it for pure consumables. If it went to millions of dollars the idea of $10,000 tank of fuel would seriously piss me off. If it had been spent on something that had made a notable improvement to my standard of life I would be able to forgive it.

I use bitcoin as an investment place only and I forget it to pay something that I want. Actually, I don't like to buy something through online shop and anything related to it. I'm scared if I buy a stuff and when it comes to my hand it is different and far from my expectation. I believe bitcoin will be use by most its user as an investment place. They will buy something with use money fiat that common to use and there is no someone who will forbid it.

Using bitcoin as an investment is the best thing that we can do than to use bitcoin to buy something on the internet or in real life. While there is not many online stores or offline store which accept bitcoin, we can use save the bitcoin and convert it into cash. I don't like to use bitcoin to buy something or buying from a store online. I feel not comfortable, and besides that, I cannot touch the product I want to buy. Sometimes the product will not be the same as what they offer, and that is the other reason why I don't want to buy by the online shop.

This is 21st century and Amazon is the biggest place to shop your things and the things has changed from you mentioned.Yes there maybe fake products can be sold but you can see the previous user's reviees before you purchase any product.

Amazon still accepts bitcoin but you can convert bitcoin into cash and use it to buy things from Amazon.

Yes, most of the people today are seeing bitcoin as store of value and as a investment instruments. I mean the potential profit you can made in the next year or two is great, you just have one quality, have patience and not to be emotional.

Although mass adoption will happen if online merchants will start to accept bitcoin, but currently I'm not seeing it going to happen unless those people behind are also crypto enthusiast.

There's a number of things that I buy and that I would buy if they were available. I'm using a VPN service that I paid for in cryptocurrency. I bought some things on Amazon mainly electronics and gifts for my friends.

I'd like to be able to buy a used car for crypto and not have to overpay for taking this option. Now you can do it but only at expensive dealerships and the same car often costs less if you choose fiat money so it's not a good option. I'd also like to be able to pay in restaurants with my crypto.

I mostly use bitcoin for online digital goods transactions such as gift cards. payment service or currency exchange. because it's easier. online users can certainly get wallet easily and without time. and track money can be checked directly without delay. so I would prefer if this digital goods transaction with bitcoin because it is real time and simple.

Cryptocurrency has many usages in our country, you can convert it to our local currency, book a ride, buy a load a credit, pay all your bills, I'm glad I'm on a country where we have online services that we can use to buy a lot of stuff for some of our everyday needs.

I have an account on our local exchanges Coins.ph, with this exchange, I can pay my electric, water bill, insurance or pay my loan they are adding a lot of services.

I always use my Cryptocurrency to book a flight or a ride I believe soon they will add giftcards we can use for shopping mall and groceries.
It's so much easy to use your Cryptocurrency in this part of the world.

Ive been using this platform too when buying up some mobile phone loads and some game credits.The thing I do complain with this wallet service
is that they do have a big gap into their buy and sell.They do have btc,eth,xrp as I remember.So basically if we do talk about buy and sell then this isn't
a good idea but when it comes to services given on how you would able to spend out your btc then this is splendid.

I have bought games. Tools. Art. Plant and garden equipment. Seeds. PC hardware. Video game consoles. Vape, vape juice. All from local markets. Like coinpayments.
I prefer to spend crypto since it is much easier and I am paid in it anyway. The transactions are really quick and I have a good rating from sellers for buying almost instantly.

i have not actually bought anything directly with cryptocurrency, i have not tried it because i have not seen any organisation that will accept crypto for whatever i need, so most of my cryptocurrency, i convert into fiat for paying bills, running personal projects, schooling and making daily transaction.

spending cryptocurrency is the most convenient, fast and reliable way of shopping for me off late but most importantly I prefer re-investing my cryptocurrency in projects that seem promising with a great team behind it.
