What services do you usually buy with crypto, and do you prefer specific currencies for different purchases?

Talking about buying something with crypto is very fun, because there are many assets that we have to buy through crypto, that way we can develop our assets into even more, because crypto assets can be profitable for us, that way we can buy other assets with crypto, you can in the form of gold and a plot of land.

Crypto assets that move for us by investing our savings through crypto we can add other assets instead of buying things that cannot produce profits, when we already have a lot of assets that move then we can buy other items such as vehicles for our needs daily.

This is so, and in general it is very cool to live in the age of cryptocurrency, when we not only see how it is changing the world, but also participate in it.

And my answer to the main question of this topic will be this: I would buy even more cryptocurrency. I don't need iPhones and luxuries, these things don't really make anyone happy, we need to strive for full economic independence, and not hang ourselves with jewelry.

I don't have any big dreams but if bitcoin was available in my country then I would use bitcoin to do daily tasks including banana bread and I would use bitcoin everywhere. When Bitcoin becomes available we will be able to buy everything with Bitcoin and Bitcoin will become available when we can do daily necessities with Bitcoin.

What do you mean “Lingerie” haha! For me I’d love to buy things that are worth a lot of money with crypto. Because averagely crypto money isn’t small funds. So, probably buy a house of my own and a really nice car as well (not luxurious). I already am invested in some things, if there was some funds remaining I’d invest more.

The rental property option is good but I feel discouraged. Maybe because it requires maintenance.

I don't want to buy any mining machine with cyptocurrency because no crypto mining or cyptocurrency is accepted in my country. But from my country I want to do some local business of my country. If I can get involved in local business from my country, I can live my life in a lot of mobility. I had a period when I wasn't doing very well but ever since I got introduced to Bitcoin and started earning from it I am doing very well and supporting my family very well. Here everything is possible by working in this cryptocurrency. Suppose if I have a lot of cryptocurrency, I will build a home decoration shopping mall (where there is everything for home decoration) in my country where people will constantly come and buy interesting products from my shopping mall.

Well, there are places where we can spend our bitcoins to get some services or products, but those are very limited to our overall needs and usually we have to spend fiat in order to meet our daily needs, equipment's and services. I wish we can buy everything with bitcoin but this would not be possible until bitcoin is legally accepted in all countries and then every online and offline store will include bitcoin payment methods.

Right now, no physical store offer bitcoin or crypto payment methods and also there are very few online stores giving opportunities to buy their goods and services in bitcoins. Many renowned online store do not offer crypto payments and there are bound to spend our credit cards (fiat money) in order to buy things form there.

I don’t buy much with cryptocurrency yet, unless you count dollar stablecoins as cryptocurrency, of course. But mostly I pay for VPN services when it’s relevant for me. You know, many VPN services allow payment with cryptocurrency and even offer discounts for this form of payment. It’s good that there are anonymous VPN services that do not require passport data. I know that many people participating in retrodrops pay with Bitcoin for the accounts they buy. Twitter accounts, for example. Also sometimes accounts on centralized exchanges, which may not be available in some countries. I also knew a man who bought a used car with bitcoins.

Slave midgets.

Maybe some food for my dinner 😄

The people of El Salvador are quite happy with this aspect as they have the convenience of buying anything in their country with Bitcoin. All of us who are involved with Bitcoin probably have some dream that they will buy something with their Bitcoin. Many people dream of buying a luxurious car with Bitcoin, and many people dream of buying daily necessities with Bitcoin, but due to the different governments of different countries taking different decisions regarding Bitcoin transactions, this opportunity does not become available to the general public. What happened in Portugal was only due to the single decision of those two gentlemen. According to them, if it is possible to buy something in combination with two people and if the medium of transaction is Bitcoin, then it is possible to complete the purchase and sale of something through Bitcoin.

Yep, agreed with you. Most crypto maxies are all about using crypto for daily transactions, and using Bitcoin as a store of value.

Surprised by how the poll didn't actually have the common answers you'd expect like: real estate investment, stocks, holidays etc

Loads of people want to use crypto to be used on a daily without getting to convert to fiat, for example, a retailer will expect a customer to come and pay for groceries with crypto.

Ideally, I believe thats what Satoshi Nakamoto wanted, a total boycott of the conventional finance but massive adoption has been the challenge with it.

The good idea would be to buy groceries/ travel tickets

The user base of crypto currency is increasing on a daily. More people are now aware of crypto and how it functions, the only challenges most people have is integrating crypto related payments into their businesses.

Imagine if compliance wasn't an issue, loads of people would have also adopted it but then compliance is still not enough to stop businesses across the globe from accepting crypto

Seeing the poll with lingerie is like what to me. I want to have those electronics and gadgets that will earn more money and the top choice is an ASIC miner.
Aside from that, owning rental properties is the best passive income that one can ever have. And if it's possible to have long term clients, that's much better and I'll keep them.

I don't have this on my mind but want to have it as well someday.

You should try it. Look for some online shopping websites near you and check if they're okay to accept payments in crypto and usually, they'll just uses a third party service for its automatic conversion to fiat.

Products are currently being bought in countries around the world by crypto. If I had the chance to buy any product with crypto, I would definitely buy luxury items. I have not yet purchased any product with bitcoin or cryptocurrency, but I hope in the future I will purchase product by paying with virtual currency. However, luxury goods are now being purchased with bitcoins, which is a truly remarkable process. I noticed that in Portugal you can buy a luxury house with bitcoins there are transactions with bitcoins which sounds really awesome. So I also hope to buy luxury goods and products with crypto in the future. It will be my future dream and I will fulfill one time by buying luxury goods with Bitcoin.

It would be a great dream coming through for many bitcoiners that have businesses under their management and are ready and willing to accept bitcoin but due to their government in their country either banning or restrictions of bitcoin for transactionary use of buy and selling of generally every product and services except just with fiat money. This attitudes by such countries has made some people think that bitcoin can't be expended in buy ordinary items just like they do with fiat, and one observation I get about some countries imposition of these restrictions is as a result of the increased number of citizens in those country's that can't deal with security related issues with bitcoin and it stirs fears on the part of government that this sets of persons can be easily scammed and hacked of their funds, and the government feel the need to protect them through restrictions of the technology not yet matured enough. IMO though!

Cryptocurrencies are already very popular, Bitcoin has taken the popularity of crypto currencies to another level. People of some countries may not be very positive about Bitcoin but people of developed countries are more experienced about crypto currency.
Nowadays, the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing a lot among people because we are constantly hearing about bank failures, so users are now using Bitcoin instead of banks to keep their money safe. I have seen some people who when asked to say something about crypto currency they don't know much about crypto currency but when they are asked about bitcoin they say that they have a fair idea about bitcoin crypto currency has been introduced through bitcoin in many places. I think we need to have a different plan to introduce crypto currency so that people will know about crypto currency when they try to know.

I want to buy everything with the crypto. Unfortunately don't have services like that in my country.

Eg: House, Car, Clothes, foods
