I know this has been asked before, but the list seems to be getting shorter every day.

Cryonics.

There are two cryonics providers in the entire world: Alcor and the Cryonics Institute. Neither of which accept Bitcoin as a means of payment despite the fact that both the transhumanist community and Bitcoin community are largely composed of libertarian computer nerds.

EDIT: It looks like I haven't been keeping up with the latest news! It seems Alcor just started accepting Bitcoin for cryonic suspensions since 12 days ago! Hah!

We can buy physical items with bitcoins but I never saw "inner things" like love, happiness ect... for sale ever. Probably because we all have them somewhere but lost , we just need to find the right way to them.

It's been done. Still, like many things that can be bought with bitcoin, this is still very small scale. I don't think you see this too often.... but British bitcoiners got options haha.
There also was reddit topic with first world btc payment... for hooker.

Anything if you exchange it into fiat. If not you can probably find a seller for most things willing to accept btc, as long as the amount matches the value of the product in fiat currency.

an island? Cheesy

there's plenty more things to list but they can't be bought with any kind of currency

I think the purpose of this thread is to find out what can't be bought with bitcoin but can be bought with FIAT?

i think depend on goverment policy .
If they legally use bitcoin as valid transaction like money , we can buy anything with bitcoin
But if they prohibit the bitcoin, well...we can't buy anything with bitcoin because against the law

Since bitcoin can be exchanged for money you can buy everything with it.

Not necessarily true. The seller could offer 20% off for paying in BTC making it possible to buy Smiley

Happiness perhaps?

I think so.   Smiley
If wealth is "key" for happiness, of course Adolt Merckle, the richest man in Germany, would not do suicide by hitting himself to a train.

Buy and sell bitcoins,
You can't pay off bills, like credit card bills and things like that. I think it has to do with tax issues, at least for the US. There was a "bill pay" service for bicoin (can't remember the site), but they could only do fulfillment-type bills (ordering stuff from vendors).

I know that steam is not allowing bitcoin payments yet. Perhaps the steam community needs to vote to show the Steam team that they want to add this feature.

Why 8? Because that'ss approximately the current dollar value of all the bitcoins? Or i didn't get something important? 
The market cap of Bitcoin is about $7.85 billion dollars, and it is increasing every day.

Now, then again, it all depends on the fluctuations of the market, but it is nicely summed up as being at about $8 billion.

If the price went up to $1000/coin, then the cap would go up to $12-billion (About) and if the price dropped, so would the market cap.

Now that market cap also uses all the coins in the world, so it's not 100% accurate. It just calculates the coins mined multiplied by the value, or

n=# of coins
v=value
c=market cap

n*v=ct
(t= In a very simplified version)

So even coins that were lost or destroyed still have "value", even though they don't technically exist anymore.
