Mostly to be paid and for ordering digital things online. I will use fiat for local things and online I use crypto unless I am forced to use bank transfer or paypal or other.
Bitcoin is easier and cheaper for me.



You can still use it. Noone will know. You have the right to accept whatever you want as payment.

Great strategy if you are using spare money, don't use your hold coins knowing that day will come that the value will be more higher than the last time you purchased it.

For some they tend to use it as investment tool but for others who are really into development, using bitcoin for their needs as mode of transactions is also very effective, especially those who are dealing between borders.

Using cryptocurrency in those countries in which Bitcoin is illegal is very risky because you're risking your money, effort, and you might just end up in jail. The most ideal thing to do I guess is if you really want to have cryptocurrency, then talk to a friend of your in a country that cryptocurrency is supported, make a corpo between you guys, like he's going to be your pilot or middleman. What I mean of friend is the one you really trusted and you know overall personally to avoid getting scammed or whatsoever.

Bitcoin are still illegal at many countries. But people still using Bitcoins in their own country.
According to me using Bitcoin is no harm untill and unless any bad intentions are emphasis on it.
I normally use Bitcoins to get Payments for the micro jobs that i do.
Then i sell it through P2P trades as exchanges ask for KYC.
It's as simple like that.

Any transaction with bad intentions is illegal in any country but the government of any country has not been able to stop it yet and it does not seem possible in the future. Their headaches only focus on bitcoin. They want to be emotionally spontaneous by blaming Bitcoin for not being able to resist big wrongs.

Due to differences in regulations of each country, I as an individual in my country can only make purchases and store them in the custodian wallet. Public is not allowed to use BTC for buying and selling transactions either online or offline in my country. Bitcoin is currently only a commodity futures, not allowed to be used to replace the official currency formed by government banking.

I think this is sufficient because most people's goal is to use Bitcoin as an investment. Although the white paper written by Satoshi may be the main objective is to replace the banking system as a transaction tool that is not controlled by any party. Even so, transactions using Bitcoin still take a long time and are also high fees, to buy a cup of coffee.

Yeah true, bitcoin is not officially accepted in any country yet from what I know, and about how I use my earned bitcoins, well since there are no merchants ready to embrace the new technology (BTC) in my country, what I simply do is to go on localbitcoin and simply trade my bitcoin for fiat currency, since that's the only currency I can use to buy what I want in my country, it would have been really cool to be able to use bitcoin to purchase items, but sadly the government is against it.

In my country still bitcoin is not acceptable. Crypto currency are banned there but still i use it as a local client. If i earn some bitcoin via trading bounties,airdrop, Mining , then i have a client who bought it from me with fiat currency. Although i can use kucoin P2P market for exchange with fiat currency. But we need to patient to accepted by government. And i store my all crypto asset in CEX exchange,  It's risky but i can't store in own wallet because they cost too much fee for each btc usdt transection.😓

that's the simplest but effective ways to use bitcoin, there are countries that still restricting the usages of bitcoin without proper knowledge they are

seeing that this system still a threat for their financial system, but with the use of internet you can continue enjoying your assets as what you mentioned,

trading or buying online is commonly being used.

In my country there is no legal way to purchase bitcoin  and the only one is on the blackmarket there are some facebook groups where you can find interested people you can sell or buy bitcoin from in exchange of fiat but you have to be carefull not to be scamed and its better to do it face to face.
