Topic: Would u pay in bitcoin? - page 4. (Read 8968 times)
i am using bitcoin already
Of course yes, if the discount/the price is very big 
If the discount very small/the item price is mall, i will use fiat
But if i already have wallet & enough bitcoin, i will use bitcoin
And this case is not usually happen
I think this is what will drive the adoption of bitcoin to the masses. Since merchants have lower costs associated with processing bitcoin related payments, they will be able to pass along these savings onto their customers. If the discount very small/the item price is mall, i will use fiat
But if i already have wallet & enough bitcoin, i will use bitcoin
And this case is not usually happen
My question is if u see something u would like to buy and this item is offered at a lower price if paid using bitcoins, providing that you don't already have a wallet or coins would you take the time to set up a wallet and buy bitcoins just to be able to receive a discount on the item u wish to purchase?
Interestingly enough Newegg has a promotion for Bitcoin going on right now that is testing that theory out
If you buy an Xbox One using newegg for 399.99 and get 50 dollars off its 349.99 + 20 dollars for shipping and that can't be beat anywhere else as it is a fixed price item.
By the same token if they bought 500 dollars of merchandize they would get to spend another 100 dollars and get 150 dollars off a 500 dollar purchase.
So 350+40 for shipping is = 390 dollars still cheaper than what they would get an Xbox for in the Store + They get a 100 dollar item basically free.
So in my opinion some people would do it if they find something they want, especially if its a fixed price item and they can still save more money and get more stuff than if they went to a Walmart to check it out

No, because I am unable to at least own 1 BTC. Once I have 1BTC in savings, i can spend some.

I would pay at a premium, and be paid at a discount for Bitcoin.
Best options for a pinchpenny
I would pay with bitcoin on some occasions.
Once BTC completely stabilizes I would be more than willing to pay with BTC.
Currently I just use BTC to quickly send transactions with no fees.
Nothing big really.

sometimes when we buy any item with bitcoin, there are a lot of discount we can get, as example if we buy laptop or gadget, we can get discount until 20%. If this is continues, maybe I will always paying anything with bitcoin, hopefully this is always happen when we shop ...
Up to 20%? Are you sure? I didn't realize that the margins on laptops was so high. Someone just posted in another thread that Newegg is giving 30% discount on orders above 500$ paid in bitcoin. Not confirmed but not denied either.
A good free-market capitalist should buy all their stock with bitcoin and then sell it on eBay with a 25% markup.
Unless their plain (non-discounted) price already is 35% over the rest of the market, of course.
Well, if it was happening a couple days ago, it doesn't seem to be happening now. I just tried to order a desktop PC. It actually applied a 20% discount before choosing payment method. After choosing bitcoin as a payment method, the amount did not change.

Thanks! Sorry, but that was what people claimed in some other thread. I gave googled it now, it was/is just a 2-day-only offer, 75$ for purchases over 300$, or 150% for purchases over 500$:
http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Info/NewsroomDetail.aspx?ID=1354&Type=3
Thus the max discount was 30% if you buy exactly 500$, less for other amounts. If their "normal" discount is 20% then it is not that impressive.
Still, I would like to know who was picking up the tab of that discount: Newegg or Bitpay?
I pay in bitcoin all the time, but that's because I am a trader, and spending in bitcoin is the principle way that I cash out my gains. If I weren't a trader, would I buy BTC to spend? No. But I might buy BTC to invest and spend down the road, if I were that type of investor.

I would pay for sure in bitcoin, in this way I support the currency and maybe increase its adoption.
for me
yes i would pay in bitcoin because for now i have much bitcoin.

depends if the sale of a limited edition item, maybe I can use my real money to buy it
because if I use bitcoin I should make my wallet and buy from the exchange
not to mention my bitcoin processing time thus making the goods sold out

The fact that transactions are irreversible is still an advantage but also an disvantage when using btc to pay things in real life.
I already bought some small thing with bitcoins, its not big issue to pay through bitcon.

I would like to know who is paying for those discounts. The merchant, because he likes bitcoins? Bitpay, to attract new customers?If the discount is closer to 4 or 5% then the credit card companies would essentially be paying for this discount. This would be reflective of the cost that it would cost merchants to accept credit cards plus the cost of chargebacks that merchants have to bear.
I'm not buying anything with bitcoins untill they will gain a stable price.
