the use of crypto for me makes it easy for me to do my day to day activities and lighten my economy that is enough to use crypto for me

I am curious, what is your day to day activities? I never heard of someone using Bitcoin and any other crypto currencies every day. Traders might be using them, trading them once in a while but I don't think it should be used or done every single day. You are not a merchant I suppose since I doubt people will always be using or paying Bitcoin since the price of it is so low these days.

What do you use cryptocurrencies most often for? If you thought about what cryptocurrency you use the most and what your favorite/most often use case is for it, what would it be? Obviously if it's private and you don't wish to share that's fine, I'm just curious to see what's being used and where people go most often for purchases, maybe pick up some new websites to visit for stuff I haven't found yet, or just share some places with other users who don't know many places to spend at.

What would the websites be, or physical places you visit for your purchases? Anybody offer discounts for cryptocurrencies or anything special? Like, what is the drive that gets you to get and use cryptocurrency for a purchase over a credit card. Special things you can only buy with crypto's or special discounts or anything, or just for the ease of transferring funds mostly?

----Edit---- Adding an edit here, thank you everyone thats posting.
***To all those that mentioned they make purchases for various things, would you care to share actual websites you visit? Sharing the names/links. The purpose of my post was to get people discussing about where they transact and to make a recommendation of where they do like to visit so that other users can see new places where they can transact where they've never known they could before. Which, if you look in this thread you can see there are quite a few people posting in just this thread alone that don't really know anywhere at all that they can go to transact with their cryptocurrency's. So to all who mentioned what they like to make purchases on, could you make direct recommendations of what those sites are that you like to visit?****

That was the purpose here, I gave one of my recommendations with Gyft website. So all of us to know where we can transact with our cryptocurrency's, let's help out those in this thread and that may read this thread find places where they can actually make purchases and utilize their cryptocurrency.

Due to the current crashed of the cryptocurrency market, I realized that I should stop paying my bills through the use of bitcoin because I experiencing losses. I bought my bitcoins at a high price and I do not want it to use in my daily transactions.

some time ago I was still able to use cryptocurrency to buy some items that I could buy using bitcoin and I used bitcoin to make payments on namecheap, but for now steam doesn't support payment using bitcoin anymore.

It is really sad that this happened and I thought it will be a thing for a long time.

I am buying Steam games for some time now and I am using fiat in the past, when they accepted Bitcoin as a payment method, I got really excited and bought a bunch of games and virtual items, especially on Dota 2 and some keys on CSGO. I hope they will be accepting Bitcoin again in the future so I can enjoy some games without using my money on the bank since I usually save them for something.

I really hope that the cryptocurrency will break into all spheres of life. Of course it will bring discomfort to the government, but to ignore the fact that the crypt is more reliable and more convenient, it is impossible. I heard that soon the platform will begin to work fully, where we will be able to buy goods and services for cryptocurrency from different spheres! This is great news for me, because I have long dreamed of traveling, paying with cryptocurrency. Cool

Perhaps many will be able to buy real estate and not become slaves of the mortgage Grin

I am using my cryptocurrency in buying prepaid loads.
Using an app that accept crypto, I get ten percent rebates everytime I buy load. Also, for bills payment there is a discount. Here in our country, bitcoin is not illegal.

That's great, and you can get more benefits from bitcoin. I hope that in the future, I can get the same things as you. Right now, I don't use too much of cryptocurrency besides of exchange it into fiat because it's hard to find a local store that will accept bitcoin or altcoin as the payment. I can only dream for living in the country or city which want accept cryptocurrency for a new payment system.

Though bitcoin here in our country is not totally accepted and recognized by the government at least some merchants will also accept it as a mode of payment. I am also using it for prepaid loads and more.

For offline merchants, it is still very rare especially in countries that prohibit cryptocurrency. but in online, I think payment using crypto is quite famous you know ? I see there are many stores that accept Bitcoin payments, ranging from hosting providers, domains providers, electronic stores, bill payments, etc. and I also often use bitcoin for that, even though I also invest in bitcoin

In my country there are now a couple of offline stores here that now accepts crypto payments . mainly they are retaurants , resto bars and some mini stores but this only available on major areas since crypto adoption is not yet really recognize on our city/region . so thats it i use my crypto to shop and dine but aside from those i also use it to buy data's ( intenet mb 's ) .

Soon im looking forward to use my crypt to buy some physical items online like gadgets , for example phone , power bank , keyboard , etc ... Im just waiting for our local online shop to support crypto because i heared that they are now doing some move to inplement it on their service .

For me Cryptocurrency are useful mainly for following two purpose:

1. Trading: is the major think to earn fund until we have a good market reading skills.
2. Payment: Payment through crypto is one of the major advantage that we all have. It is easy to pay in crypto during travelling. The top ecommerce sites like shoify, wocommerce and any more have already started accepting payments in crypto.

To know more about the top websites that accept payment in crypto you can refer the article: https://coinswitch.co/news/top-25-websites-and-businesses-that-accept-bitcoins-in-2019

If you are looking to spend your bitcoin for steam funds, you can do so indirectly. There are shops online that sells steam gift card for bitcoin. Try visiting those sites. I used to buy from "steamgamesbtc". Never had any issue with them. I main owner can be found on this site and has been selling users for a long time. He is has good feedback. So you can give that site a shot.

What I mostly do is pay bills using cryptocurrency because here in my country, a company handles Bitcoin wallet and pay all the taxes where you don't have to worry about any purchases made. Also, it is faster and that my family prefers this over others.

Be the reason someone smiles today

Here you have a few of the most important uses of crypto (Btc mainly for now):

- Bitcoin allows people to pay one another without opening a bank account.

- Bitcoin allows money to be transferred from one country to another. Have you wondered why some country restricted you from leaving the country with large amount of your money, even though you indeed proved that it’s yours and have claims to back it up? The reason is because the government does not want their money to leave the country.

- Bitcoin solves double spending problem. It’s a hassle to reverse a payment if you mistakenly click twice to pay something online. Time is more valuable than spending it to call the bank to solve it.

- Bitcoin allows you to have money almost instantly instead of waiting 3–5 days minimum and paying fees for bank transfer

As of now, the uses of my funds or cryptocurrencies are more on wants and saving for long-term investments. I still continue to look for great coins that can be good in the next few years even though as time goes by, cryptocurrency's use is getting wider.

Nothing lasts forever

I wish I could use my crypto savings in the real world but the world is not kind enough to adopt to the new technology. There are many obstacles for crypto to be accepted globally.
This is the reason why the country I live in hasn't legalized crypto yet. I would really like to use it for daily chores, shopping, payments etc.. but for the time being I am just trading it.
I keep on trading and withdraw the profits on regular intervals to manage my expenses and bill. So far it has been a wonderful journey. Crypto has changed my life to a great extent.

I personally travel quite often in Asia and exchanging different currencies its a pain in the ass

but since I discovered BTC my world has radically changed and getting local fiat its much more convenient, for me this is pretty massive, banks have been too greedy

I use my bitcoin to pay some monthly bills through a local bitcoin exchange here. I can also sell load for mobile phones and buy some items using my account in this local exchange. That is my common use for cryptocurrency aside from investing and trading it. Sending a remittance by using cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ripple is also a growing business in my country.

I have been searching to see if I could find an offline or online stores that accept cryptocurrency for goods and services but unfortunately I am yet to find one in my country.
Presently, I only use cryptocurrency to carry out transactions on the cryptocurrency space and also peer to peer transactions with mostly crypto enthusiastics..
I appreciate the information you provided here poster.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

I usually buy phone airtime with Bitcoin. It is as convenient as buying through my bank mobile wallet. I wish a true peer-to-peer marketplace with enough goods and services will emerge one day. That will definitely be a place to shop always with my Bitcoin.

Almost everyone here is seriously busy with bitcoin for its monetary valuevalue. There is no motivation for any work without a reward. The reward we all enjoy from each project we promote has been the propelling force for our stringent involvement both day and night in bitcoin. The tasks layed before us with stipulated time is not what anyone will just call easy without any expectation.
