I think it is already possible to buy games through the steam service. There are people who can also recharge the cell phone and even pay bills with it.
It will take a long time for sites like amazon to start adopting the currency, but I think it will happen someday.

This is a damn good question, and I've seen similar threads pop up from time to time asking the same thing. 

The only thing I've ever bought (aside from other cryptocurrency) is a bunch of silver coins from Provident Metals.  I have never seen a local merchant accepting bitcoin, and honestly I don't see any reason to spend it.  Why buy something with bitcoin when I can do it so much easier with fiat--and there's buyer protection, usually. 

I did get a discount at Provident, which was nice.  Other than that I find fiat much better for spending.  Still love bitcoin as an investment, though.

 One of the few things I will spend my Bitcoin on (though I usually replace them shortly thereafter) is for recharging my phone service.  There is a service called Bitrefill that allows you to top up your phone quickly with Bitcoins.  You could probably load up anyone's phone as long as you know their phone number and it is fast.  I have no affiliation with Bitrefill at all, I just love the service.  This way I don't have to leave a credit card on file with the phone company which gives me one less thing to worry about.

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?

where are you from ? as theres a diff from uk  and america etc

i spend my bitcoins on servers mainly  and vape gear and some pc hardware hers the sites i use at the mo "if your from the uk "

Nope I'm not from UK but will be moving to Sweden in 2 years and I have began investing on BTC atm, but I wanna be sure that I am investing on sth that is both a profitable Investment and a logical and essential currency that I can use to buy anything I desire (at least be supported by many places) If not, there are many ways of investment why should I choose BTC over them all? What can't I buy with fiat that I can with BTC?

Then we have the same way of thinking my friend 😊
