Topic: Who actually spend bitcoins ? and for what ? - page 2. (Read 4079 times)
A huge amount of bitcoins is used for buying other cryptocoins. It's almost the only thing I've used it for. Played some rounds on dragons tale but its a losing game.
Me.. I spend them for services. Writing articles and the likes. I have a blog about health and fitness.
I generally spend my bitcoins only to get Western union or moneygram funds. Kind of investment in my opinion. I also pay with bitcoins for virtual services like graphic work or webpage design.
I've used bitcoins a few times for real spending... bought a graphics card, bought a cam (for climbing), both transactions went smoothly.
It is the only thing I now use to buy on the internet. If someone had a really great deal on something I need I might hold my nose and use a debit card, but mostly that is a thing of the past for me.
I don't understand how people "get" bitcoin unless they are using it. Online transactions are what bitcoins do better. I suppose some people collect cool cars and never drive them also, but what fun is that?

Initially I took BTC only as an investment. But later I started using it to buy online goods and services.
I bought a bitcoin miner 
I'm waiting to be able to buy groceries and pay bills with my coins.

Well im spending bitcoins and for services and everything for sale for btc. 
I used bitcoins to pay for some software keys in the market and to buy new miner hardware. I also exchanged some to buy altcoins.
Well, I only traded a small portion on my BTCs for fiat, but I mosty use to buy DRM-free software and games.
And no, I don't hold a good amount of BTCs. If BTC is money, I'll use it at its purpose. I only hold a few bitcents(not even 1BTC in the day when it was only 15$, nothing compared to the ones that have more than 10BTC and yet stills to hold them.
Nothing wrong to the people that hold, but the more we use, the more options we could bring to us, since they could see that accepting Bitcoin is profitable.

some geeks and investors spend BTC for fun,for fashion.
Yes. Spend it for services and I gamble sometimes.
Spend most of my btc on digital goods like computer games with the last few satoshis going to gambling sites. Never really been in a position to save much btc so I always end up spending it as I get it 
Well people pay on regular basis with bitcoin for servers, domains, computer hardware, all kind of stuff from overstock etc.
That's true, I forgot that technical things are purchased with in bitcoin

I'm just spending bitcoin on altcoins for right now, I don't see any use of spending it other than that.
How does Menufy work?
- snip -
it seems like what they do is integrate their order/payment system on business's websites.

Yep. As far as I can tell, that's what they do. Here's one example in the Chicagoland area:

Is there a list of Menufy restaurants somewhere? I'd like to see if there are any in my area.
I found my local locations with coinmap.org
I've made purchases from Overstock.com, TigerDirect.com, and NewEgg.com since they started accepting bitcoin. I've subscribed to the Chicago Sun-Times since they started accepting bitcoin (and called their customer service to thank them and explain my reason for subscribing). I've switched from Comcast to Dish Satellite service since they started accepting bitcoin (and explained to both Comcast customer service and Dish my reason for switching). I order my take-out pizza from Rosati's since they started using Menufy and accepting bitcoin (and explained to the restaurant manager my reason for purchasing from them when I picked up my pizzas).
Businesses that accept bitcoin will win my loyalty over their competition, and they'll know it.

How does Menufy work? I wasn't aware of them, so I just checked them out. I thought they would be a service like Foodler, but it seems like what they do is integrate their order/payment system on business's websites.
