Bisq Market Day - March 20th 2023
In my country there is no platform that's currently accepting Bitcoin as it method of payment rather converting from digital to fiat before an individual will be able to make any transaction. Though the government has been working on legalizing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general which when implement will boost the country economy.

In recent times I have bought - three computers, several flights, untold amounts of hard disks as I have a weird storage fetish, VPN, usenet and seedbox accounts, domain name and hosting and no doubt plenty more. I'd prefer it if more places were accepting and not converting but that's not practical for now.

You tend to be more spend happy if you earn in BTC.

I'm looking for the days that my web host will use Cryptocurrency, I cannot transfer all my sites to other web host, because they offer top notch service, I'm glad that I can still fund my Namecheap account with Bitcoin, hopefully, all online products and services will integrate Cryptocurrency.

If you cant use crypto , why not convert your crypto to the fiat or to the payment method that they accept ?  Simple as that .  dont stress your self for the things that can be done easily  .

Anyway in my case i spend my crypto for top upping  my steam account  because nowadays many third party websites are now offering this kind of service  .

Thanks for sharing information about this service. Unfortunately, it's not available in my country... Do they accept Bitcoins directly, or they are just using one of payment proccessors like Bitpay like most similar services are doing?

Sadly they do not accept Bitcoins directly, but they use a payment processor like Bitpay.
It's not perfect, but I'm already glad that they accept Bitcoin in the first place.

We are on our way to adoption but need to make real purchases in order to achieve the level of adoption that we need.

Is there any product digital or physical that you would willingly spend your cryptocurrency on? What would you feel good about spending your cryptocurrency on?

If so, What is that something?

Why or why do you not use crypto as your currency of choice?

Is that something on Forra.io?

It depends on where we live. You can do all possible things with crypto when its legalised by the respective government. Still, beyond the barriers, if needed, we do shop around using crypto currencies on sites crypto payment allowed. Mostly, we convert into fiats and do all requirements.

I would like to buy the cheapest pro subscription of windscribe vpn, but my country is very poor and we don't have any way to transfer cash into digital money to buy some crypto and pait, even a full salary per month is like 20USD, so I depend only from faucets like coinpot

What I see for the most crypto user's who spend their crypto are those people who spend their crypto for a living to the fact that they choose this as a source of income but some of them they spend their crypto for trading and buying things with rebates which is one of the advantages of using crypto.

For me, on my own, both living and buying digital products online where I spent and earn crypto there are some online store that accepts crypto as payment. The good thing of using crypto as payment is that they don't need more info or any KYC verification when buying a service or digital product.

I once bought a physical product (computer parts) from my close relative's since actually it is prohibited to use Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies as a way of payments in my country(Indonesia). Mainly I bought digital goods like a gift card, mobile data, and especially hosting and domain.

One thing I don't like is the majority of the service provider that based on Indonesia are forced us to verify our identity first before we could make a purchase, that makes me forced to find a privacy-oriented service provider.

Since my country still prohibit cryptocurrency to use as payment system then I haven't try to buy a stuff that use bitcoin or altcoin so far. Even more I don't know yet how to make transactions with bitcoin once one of merchant accepts payments using bitcoin.

I do believe this is an imposition in my circumstances, when everyone already knows how to use bitcoin or at least they know how bitcoin works properly.

However recently, I have a brother who is working overseas. In the last few months he gave me money through bitcoin, and I like it very much, compared to before he sent money through WU which took about 3 days to bring the money.

If you're in Europe, I can wholeheartedly recommend using Bitcoin on any of the takeaway.com websites.
For those of you who haven't heard about this service, they do food deliveries in many different European countries.

I literally spend some of my Bitcoins there on a weekly basis and they've been accepting Bitcoin for years now.

Here's a current order that I'm making at Domino's Tongue



It's in Dutch, but you get the gist...

That's cool. In my country, there's no service yet such as yours where you can purchase and have food delivered thru the payment of BTC but we have a local wallet provider which allows you to pay your shopping online with BTC.



Basically you pay the third party online payment service with your wallet and your BTC is automatically converted into fiat upon payment but it's pretty convenient. They provide a bunch of other services so you can pay your bills online, buy load for your network, or transfer directly to your bank account (but in fiat of course). I find it really convenient and many people from my country use this platform, even for those who don't own BTC or any crypto.

Back then, game codes and digital gifts for myself and my friends. Ever since most game outlets that I used to buy gift cards and game codes decided to stop receiving bitcoin payments, I shifted my interest over to Jalapenos and Habanero Chili sauces that they ship from Cali. I got a local dealer in there through a friend and we've maintained exclusive relations and the owner is looking into fully integrating crypto payments in the near future. Also, a local pub accepts bitcoin for drinks and snacks, and that's my go-to place whenever I feel bored in the weekends and have nothing lined up to do for the next couple of days.

Most people buy digital products or gift cards, as most of the spending is on those products and rarely used for everyday needs.
The most important thing before the products is the warranty and it's reduction rate so there must be a continuous and experienced support team.

By the way, why the address does not seem to be true, I looked at maps and did not show me any real result. "208 Lenox Ave, Westfield, NJ 07090"

It is a real address, We are above a ups store.

When the time i do engage in crypto back into those newbie days when i do just start.I didnt tend to use it up on buying things since my only goal is to accumulate as much as i
can either by means of earning or simply using up my fiat. Exchanging it to fiat do happen when im in need but talking on buying sorts of things then i do simply use my fiat rather than my coins
since i do have in my mind that price might shoot up later on and you will surely regret. For now, the first time i do make use of it when buying online codes of particular platform like "steam"
 and this do only being used for my hobby not for my living dependently.

Take a look at daily spending habits of people and this gives you an idea. I use bitcoin to pay for food delivery every week at least once. Granted, this is a Bitpay 3rd-party merchant... so it's not like I'm exactly paying a pizza shop bitcoin. But I think it's a start and when shops do see their bitcoin orders go up, they might one day want to take it themselves (and who knows their own lightning shop so they don't bother with Bitpay's ridiculous confirmation setup).

Shopping is a bit more problematic, but I'm not really an online shopper. I know some people who do tiny buys every now and then that adds up in a month! Make-up, clothes, accessories especially.

Honestly, I've been living off crypto since late 2017.. sure, seen a few ups and downs but I'm exchanging crypto on a daily basis through p2p connections / localbitcoin / localethereum and using it as my main income.

Same here, I wouldn't exactly calling it living off crypto, though. That's for someone who bought all his coins years ago and living on it.

I've been earning only in crypto since late 2017/early 2018. Up until Q1 2016, I was 100% earning in fiat. In fact, if you discount the few clients who insisted paying me through paypal, I was actually earning in crypto since end of 2016.

My trading (selling, 90% of the time) takes place about every week, and with a bigger or more frequent one times around 3rd week of month to pay off bills.

P2P most of my trades too.
