Hardly ever. I don't see any offers accepting Bitcoin as payment method on my daily life, therefore I'm pretty limited when using it as currency. Most people aren't familiar with Bitcoin yet. I tried pay with BTC sometimes, but people on the other side of the negotiation didn't accept. Bitcoin is strange to them, and they don't see open to try it, as they prefer to invest and profit through another means.

As far as I remember, I acquired a good for BTC only once, and ironically it was a hardware Bitcoin wallet. If it wasn't for this transaction, I could never use my Bitcoins to purchase something. I just hope in the future this scenario is going to change, as fiat loses purchasing power, governments charge abusive taxes over transactions and acquisitions, so people have to seek for alternative methods to execute their negotiations.

My answer is probably still the same as some of the people here because I almost never use my assets for payments until now.

Some things that become a comparison in this case where it is clear that the first reason is because in my country bitcoin is still a commodity asset and not a legal means of payment so I only use this as an investment so as not to deviate from the regulations that the government has set at this time. Another reason is because I still have no desire to use this as a means of payment, it is undeniable that I want to feel that way but after thinking a few times the fact is that I still want to continue to store my assets as an investment tool that I think is feasible for the future so that the desire to make this a means of payment is a little difficult for me to do.

Correctively, bitcoin on its own is a ledger that executes its transactions in a decentralized Network known to be blockchain.
Literally it does not matter whether users holds their bitcoin on  non custodial or a custodial wallets, ideally all crypto wallets can execute bitcoin transactions whether for payment if services or otherwise.
The ideal of non custodial wallet networks was to enhance privacies and better security chains.
Aside having bitcoin for payments, it serves as assets and hedge to store values against economy inflation so, by the bid of its potentials, it has scaled through gaining values and massively adopted globally and as much as that, more adoptors are being attracted and so it is the more it would expand to gain more values in the future.


I uses bitcoin to fund my crypto casinos accounts but rarely uses it for payments because there are less number of individuals who accepts it for payments in my place but though we have huge number of adoptors who are most holding for assets.
If I may ask, how do you mean using bitcoin for payments is cheaper comparing t fiats? Are you being given discounts when used bitcoin for payments or what? Because I am aware that bitcoin transactions even charges for transactions fee which most little users considers as lost when executed a transaction.
Though I good fact about having bitcoin for means of payments is that it is faster than the fiats.

An average forum user who is a gambler might be using cryptocurrency in every day life. The gambling industry (casinos), are the industry that welcomed cryptocurrency very well than any of sector.
I don't use cryptocurrency often only when I want to make payments online that gives crypto payment as an option. In my country, there's virtually nothing you can buy with cryptocurrency. We are fiat based country LOL.

That is very true, especially those in sig campaigns here who are in the forum. Most of them are promoting casinos, so once they got their weekly pay, for sure, they will try their luck in some of the games before they withdraw. But for other usage like payment, I believe, people are more conservative as some are very high in transaction fees which is not practical.

Well, in the country where I live in, crypto currency transactions, trading is completely banned, so there is no way you as a citizen can just walk into any business or shop where there is no cryptocurrency acceptance sign; and ask them if they accept crypto payments, this is possibly the only reason I know as to why I don't use crypto to pay for some goods and services in my locality.

And talking about online services where crypto currency payments are accepted, I don't use online service very often, and I currently don't actually have many online services I patronize aside from one which is a VPN subscription service, and like currently, I bought the year package and paid in bitcoin, it is until the one year package I paid for expires, before I get another opportunity to subscribe again and pay with cryptocurrency.

And for what will make me to start using cryptocurrencies for payments in every day, life, it's no other than crypto should become generally accepted, governments should lift bans so that citizens can be allowed the freedom to accept and use crypto for payment of goods and services as we like.

In my country it's a different tale altogether, the government through it's  foul policies have made the use of bitcoin or any cryptocurrency a difficult task that even banks and every other financial institutions alienate themselves from it such that your bank account can be frozen if suspected to have been used for çrypto transaction (p2p). Due to the government stands on crypto you can hardly see an available businessman that want to have transaction in crypto.

Cryptocurrencies have many advantages over traditional payment methods for cross-border transactions or international payments, but will be more expensive for domestic payments. I don't even incur any fees if I pay via banking app no ​​matter how big the amount is and the confirmation time is almost instant. While using crypto would be quite inconvenient because I have to pay extra transaction fees, how comfortable would you feel if a cup of coffee costs $1 but you have to pay an extra $1 fee if you use USDT, let alone bitcoin?
Overall, both cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies have their pros and cons, nothing is perfect.

Honestly, I like using crypto for cross-border money transfers because it is fast and convenient. Also, I don't like using crypto for everyday payments even if it is legal in my country. It's not just a matter of transaction fees, it's also a matter of privacy.

Digital goods , of course, are what some stores offer us. I also buy a monthly subscription to quality TV channels. This is a pretty good offer, which can even be said to be more profitable than the price offered by my provider. Then come books and buying a license for some software. Now, the offer that suits me is not very common for payment in bitcoins; however, what is there is quite convenient.

Paying directly for something with BTC is very rare, but indirectly I pay for everything with crypto debit cards and gift cards from Bitrefill and The Bitcoin Company.


Even the few merchants that accept crypto payments are mostly using processors like BitPay and Coinbase Commerce which automatically convert everything to fiat. If you are trying to live entirely off crypto then you will just have to deal with these workarounds to make the best use of your cryptocurrency until it becomes widely adopted enough to where you can pay for everything directly from your non-custodial wallet.
