@Kprawn - I've been thinking about getting some kind of bitcoin debit card for a while. Tbh I just HODL my main stash & then gamble with the small amounts I get from sig campaigns.
It'd be cool to spend the sig campaign money instead of gambling with it.

this is great news,but is the payment must be only use bitcoin giftcard?or can use direct payment with bitcoin?i just wondering how much store this is,and where the store available. can somebody tell me?
Not a bitcoin giftcard. If you are at one of these places and you have bitcoins you can go to the website https://www.cardcash.com and buy an e-gift card that shows up on your phone. You can then pay for your meal or whatever with your phone.
If you only want them to accept bitcoins directly then you obviously only care about the price going up from the publicity. But if you are someone who actually wants to be able to use bitcoins to live and buy things and leave banks and credit cards behind, then this is probably how most Bitcoin integration will happen. Most stores have gift cards, it doesn't matter what system they use, if you can pay with bitcoins for their card then you can shop at their store.
As time goes on the process will become more and more streamlined to the point that the store does not know you are paying in bitcoins and you don't know you're using a gift card.
Just like how I am paid in bitcoins. My company does not know I am paid in bitcoins, they do a direct deposit just like they would for anyone else. It is immediately converted to bitcoins for me without them knowing.
Elwar as an early adopter you must be pretty comfortable financially in life. Getting paid 100% in bitcoin though is too much of a risk for most of us with the high volatility at times.
I am 100% bullish & HODL a decent amount of coins but I couldn't afford to get paid at the end of the month & overnight realise my wage has dropped 10-20% in value because of a crash etc.
Obviously it could happen the other way and the price goes up 10-20%, you'd have a nice surprise then
Your story interests me a lot, I love reading your threads.
Do you have a list of British stores/shops that accept bitcoin?
I got to agree with you on that... It's like walking on a tight rope... I would be checking the Bitcoin price every 10 minutes. I much rather pay some extra fees to
convert some of my income to Bitcoin, but not all of it in one go. I do not know if it is really necessary to have a list, if you can use the Coinbase Shift card to buy
almost everything. Some people in countries outside of the USA might need to use a service like this..

I think this fact is very relaxed. Because you can now use more often in everyday life. And that's just fine them. I also think that you can later use it to many more companies.
But we'll see later what happens.

Damn...
Sometimes I'm really jealous of Americans...
I don't like this country but I got to say that in economics they're truly innovative!
Not like the damn old Europe granny not able to take a fucking decision alone.

Actually, I have went to some of those stores and they said they weren't accepting that at all so I don't understand why this is a list. Perhaps this was an outdated listing that was republished of some sort. I do not know at all, but my point is that I did try purchasing and it didn't go through.
They don't accept their own gift cards?

its better but still not perfect. Still sounds like a semi pain in the ass to have to hand my phone to some moron at target to scan some bar code. Of course I would get the lady whose scanner is broken and wont pick up the code lol.
But still a great step imo!

Very much like the cake, I feel like this is a lie. Not that I don't want to believe it. I do, but I don't understand

Can anyone vouch for them? Did some cursory googling, and they seem to have a F from the BBB. On the other hand, they have been mentioned in Forbes, so i'm not sure if their a trustworthy site.

Haven't used them yet. Looks like they buy used gift cards and sell them so there's probably potential for abuse by the individuals. They do offer a guarantee though.
Supposedly they're coming out with an app which would be pretty cool. You can pay with bitcoins now though.
I'll be on the lookout, thanks for the update.

Wow it's good, I hope this will spread to another every country.
I can't wait for buying something at a local store using Bitcoin here

Why does the good bitcoin initiatives always starts in the West? I mean, no love for us bitcoiners in the Far East? Good thing that more and more merchants considered accepting bitcoin as a form of payment. We're on our way there, buddies.

Also the OP's post here remind me of Snapcard i heard about in 2013

This is always great news, not sure how much it will actually be used but still a great addition to Bitcoin's development.

Wow that thought but none of these stores are near you *mind blown* xd
