Hey guys ... do any of y'all use Bitcoin for real life purchases?

If so what and through which sources ?
And how do you calculate the crazy volatileness of the market ?

Of course, i used my bitcoin in my real life purchases. But i converted it first to my local currency which is peso. And the most important thing is, i can easily send money to my love once anytime and everywhere here in our country, using my bitcoin through the help of my local wallet.

In my case, i have not use bitcoin directly for purchasing any product through online. I only used it for my investment, and sometimes i converted it to fait using my local wallet for my personal needing and for emergency purposes.

I had used btc for getting some stuff and paid via the coin. It was a good feeling that other than the national currency even their is another mode of payment available and could be paid easily and reaches to the other person quickly around the globe.

I'm new in this crypto community, but bitcoin is very useful to me and spend it purchasing something that connected to what I loved like games using through my steam wallet. But for a couple of months here in bitcointalk.org, I learned a lot how and where to spend my bitcoin, but I really love to keep it for now since the btc has a low value. Sometimes, I want to buy some potential alternative coins for a long time investment, just for future good folks!

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

Although there are some international online shopping stores that accept bitcoin as a means of payment, there are none in my country and so I do not have the opportunity of buy daily needs like groceries with bitcoin.
However, I convert my bitcoins into the local currency and with this I make my day to day transactions for goods and services.
I also use my bitcoins for investment. Mostly I hold my coin but with the current down trend in the price of bitcoin, I've been thinking of venturing into trading, day trading in particular.

Simply put, I have two purposes in using Bitcoin. The first is I use Bitcoin as a tool of financial transactions to buy various goods. And the second is I use Bitcoin for Investment. If compared then the intensity I use Bitcoin as an investment will be much higher. Maybe I can say I use Bitcoin as an investment of 80% and use Bitcoin to buy goods about 20%. Yes I prioritize Bitcoin as an investment because I can get a satisfactory result and for me it is a promising choice for my future. In fact we can see many successful people and become wealthy because they managed to invest in Bitcoin world and I want to be one of the many people who become successful.

I mostly send my bitcoin on local exchanges so I could pay some of my bills(if that counts). Most stores in my country doesn't accept bitcoin before if I have to spend my bitcoin on something I have to exchange it to fiat.

We just hope more sites like amazon, bestbuy and the others would consider implementing bitcoin payment system to make it easy for we bitcoin users to purcahse things off their sites.

All4btc is a kind of site where you order what you want and pay them in bitcoins. There's also bitcoin debit cards like what slow death already mentioned if you don't want to give out your personal info cryptopay lets you have a virtual card with a lower transaction limit.

Lately, Many people are using bitcoin and not only bitcoins but many other major cryptocurrencies like etherum, litecoin etc. which is a good thing as it a symbol that cryptocurrency are been circulating around and many be probably be used by many countries soon enough. I onced used my cryptocurrency, bitcoin in particularly to buy a laptop though not from a popular sites like amazon. And it was good and the transaction process was smooth. We just hope more sites like amazon, bestbuy and the others would consider implementing bitcoin payment system to make it easy for we bitcoin users to purcahse things off their sites.

I normally hold half and convert my other half to fiat money, here the Philippines we have this coinsph where we can deposit our bitcoins directly to our bank and it will be converted to our peso money.

So the other half was withdrawn yo fiat money the half or 1/3 of the remaining half will be hold and the rest will be traded to altcoins.

There is site called purse.io bro. You will be able to sign up and purchase the day today life usage things on Amazon by using this site as a pipeline bro. You can get the additional percentage profit for by using the purse site.
If your purchase goes more than 3 times, you may able to earn the reward points and that can used in your next trades.

You cannot calculate the price volatility of any crypto currency. Nothing will working according to your expectation.

its difficult to actually spend BTC at the moment for items not
listed on the online stores which accept it.

I converted BTC to FIAT to fund a project I have ongoing, the
items were Engine Parts Grin

and where I shop for them doesnt
accept BTC

It is important to ask the question though because it shows the
vendor that there is a demand for BTC and crypto. If they get
enough queries they might consider accepting payments sooner!

After Visa and Mastercard implement hard measures against bitcoin, it is very difficult to shop with bitcoin.

I use this card: https://wagecan.com/Pricing

with him I can transfer my bitcoins and make purchases in my country. But the card is very expensive. But for now is only alternative that I have

Hmm... with this card everything is very simple. If the price of bitcoin is for example $10.000, you want to deposit 0.01btc then your account will be credited with $100 and you can use the $100 to make purchases with the card

No I am, I only use bitcoin as a source of income such as trading and investment. In my country making payment or transaction with bitcoin is strictly prohibited. Hopefuly in the next few years they (goverment) will re-regulate and bitcoin is allowed for a payment. So, I just exchange my bitcoin in my wallet to physical money and spend money using it, surely it's very safe compared to using btc who have a volatile price.

How I wish that I can use it from day to day real life purchases. This is only applicable for a country that has stores that are ready to accept bitcoin and that is not available in my country.

But there are services where I can use bitcoin for direct payments but for very few services and people.

I'm not that good in calculating volatility of the market it just can't happen in my part. What I do is just follow the simple trend of up and down, green and red market.

Now that BTC price is cheap I'm not using it to buy stuff. Also, interesting sellers like Steam stopped accepting Bitcoin as payment method because expensive transactions and high volatility. Still waiting for more businesses and online shopping sites adopt Bitcoin...

I can't calculate volatility, it's unpreditable, the only thing I can do is to stop spending BTCs when the price is too unstable or too low.

I don't use bitcoin for any real life purposes, for the moment I am only holding my coins. The main reason why I don't use it, is the volatility; volatility will always be a major issue if you want to use bitcoin as a payment processor.

To be honest people using bitcoin as just bump and dump coin not for the real purpose of safe peer to peer transactions.I am also holding bitcoins for earning purpose but I will hold that until we can use it for real purpose I think it may be useful to buy oir daily needs by 2025.And volatility is the main reason that bitcoin is jot used as currency so we need to have stable price if we want it to use as currency.

In the few months that passed away, I have brought out some portion of my bitcoin for doing and purchasing stuffs like gambling, buying gadgets online, paying for domain name and web hosting, and paying for little services on some stuffs. But i stopped, now I am holding my bitcoin and never intends to spend it. Because I believe I am in some way wasting it away. As for my source of income; I bought my coins, coupled with few altcoin I traded and the little I am getting from here.

Privacy is always important

I'm not spending bitcoin daily, but mostly I use bitcoin for buying a domain from namecheap or trade with others like buying SEO methods or any interesting things selling in the digital section.

And sometimes I use bitcoin here locally where we can spend bitcoin on some restaurant that accepts bitcoin as payment.

About the volatility, I think we can't calculate the volatility the price of bitcoin I think it depends on news or trends base on what I see.

I try my best to use bitcoin as much as possible when making purchases online(as using bitcoin on local stores in my country is next to impossible). Usually I use to use bitcoin to pay for my servers, proxies, those stuff. Would be great though if sites like Amazon accepts it.

Actually we don't calculate the volatility if you have emergencies or that you must have it immediately for expenses. There's nothing you can do about it if you have no choice but to spend it we all are unless you're gonna bear the problem not helping or being a martyr for yourself.
I don't have experience buying or purchasing items via Bitcoin but we do have a converter that can convert BTC into our current real money.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Real life purchases in bitcoin may apply only to physical stores like grocery stores/coffee shop/local market that accepts bitcoin, and mostly its only in japan. So enable to use my btc, I send it to our local exchange/wallet and convert it to fiat directly sent to my debit card and use it when I go outside for purchase.

And for the volatility of bitcoin, I only sell some like half what I owned and hold the other half since most people are panicking with the trend of this downside.
