Well there are some online markets that accept bitcoin for payment with a little google search  think you can find one or you can exchange your bitcoins to real money instead to buy whatever you need Smiley

If many places, stores etc accept btc yes you can live without fiat money. Many times I have used my credit card which I have my btc and it worked perfect for me.
but the problem is that in most area, such store are not available, may be present in places but not in a good number, as i heard from a friend that such kind of stores are available in Brazil in good number but in rest of places i do not think that there are enough store, like in my area there is only one shop that accept bitcoin and that is also about 150 kilometer away from my home. so its difficult to reach there on daily basis for shopping.

Cryptocurrency like bitcoin have many uses . It depends to the company if they are willing to take btc as a payment . For now buisness like starbucks are open for btc transaction. But if you want to spend btc more convert it , like in my country we convert using coin.ph and we can use it to buy thing,pay bills,load and etc. Smiley
Yes true, for the time being, anything we can buy with bitcoin, I ever find a complete online shopping site that offers items from fashion, electronics, computers, payment of utility bills, toll and needs every day which can accept bitcoin.

Right it is one one the greatest, fastest, secured and highly valued cryptocurrencies ever, but aside from making a profit by depositing it, can it be used to buy stuff you need? What kind of places accept BTC as payment? Does it mean if you've got bitcoins in your wallet you can survive without fiat in your pocket?

There many payment processors thst accept bitcoin so there is that. Also many shops online thst are local let you pay with bitcoin. There is more and more places each time I'm online and even the bigger places sre doing it. There sites locally simikiar to amazon and such thst allow bitcoin payment and deliver to you as well. Its great.

There are services that offer debit cards that use bitcoin and not fiat, so realistically you should be able to buy anything with bitcoin if you use said service.

As of now there are a very limited number of business that accepts bitcoin and its mostly online and via third parties . Let me give you some example like you can use purse.io when shopping through amazon . You should search in google to find the other ones . There is also something called bitcoin debit cards where you can use off and online . Here is a list: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2017-bitcoin-debit-card-reviews-1410577

So for your last qustion which is so obvious by now cause I stated that there are a limited number of merchants . Th answer is NO you can't survive without using fiat even though you have a lot of bitcoins .


if I place the food items that have not been there, if there was also very rarely, there is usually a token purchase electricity, phone pulse, maybe only that, because it is most often purchased through online

For me I'm not limited in any way with regards to my usage of bitcoins. I'm able to purchase almost anything (be cameras, smart phones, smart watches, clothes, home decors, RC toys among others) by going through third parties like shopawl.com which is a drop-shipper of banggood.com. You can buy whatever from aliexpress or banggood through shopawl which will act as the mediator and buy them( products) on your behalf and you pay them bitcoin for it.

In third world countries, you can buy all the digital goods with Bitcoin. But in First world countries like the USA, you can buy anything. There are many companies and countries still need to understand the value of Bitcoin.
I have bought many things personally using Bitcoins. Smooth transactions all the time.  Smiley

By now, there are a lot of it already. From my experience, I bought Steam games with Bitcoins using G2A. I also read that some VPNs offer bitcoin as payment methods. Maybe there would be a time in the near future that 90% of the internet will accept bitcoins. Maybe online stores such as amazon will accept it in the future.
Yeah, these are good examples. I also had the opportunity to buy some games using steam. This makes things quite simple. There are people who already use it for other purposes, like paying bills or recharging the cell phone.
It would be nice if we could use it to directly pay for anything we need in the physical world, though. Maybe enabling bitcoin to be used in the physical world would be the next frontier of bitcoins and when it happens I would be happy, as I can pay anything I need without converting my bitcoin to my currency.

You can buy most of the games and software through bitcoins
I think it is possible to buy whatever with bitcoin. But today there are not so many places that would accept bitcoin as payment directly. So if you cash out your bitcoins first you can buy everything you wish, but in this case you will not be ableto skip some fees.

Right now, in my country, I can buy mostly only digital staff over Internet.
As I know, only a few offline shops accept Bitco0iun for payment and we have only 2 bitcoin ATM in the country.
Because of this, and some other reasons, I mostly keep my bitcoin funds in the wallet.
I really don't see some good place tom spend my bitcoin for now Smiley

I believe there absolutely any thing you cannot buy with bitcoin these days, even if the major stores will not accept directly, when one looks very well, there are still some middlemen merchants that will be ready to make it happen. But for me, I don't think I can buy something online now which I can even pay with fiat not to talk of bitcoin that I wont get to see a merchant in the country simply because of bad experiences my friend had by ordering only to receive something else.

It's quite hard to trust middle men though than just like directly ordering from the service itself. That would also cause some unecessary hassle and added cost to both the buyer and the merchant. Regards online shops, I did had that experience too, buying something and getting something else in the mail. But it depends on the store you buy it from, you can always return it and have it exchanged, because you didn't get the product you want.

From my experiences as a bitcoin user.
I can pay my bills uaing my bitcoin, still there are only few who accept them and sometimes they are still confused.
But buyung from it, it is really something that is used by some bitcoin user, in my case i can buy loads through it, but still not equipments like shirts.
