Often times I get jealous of those persons whose country government allows for the use of bitcoin in a way that they don't get to go nuctural about using it for buying or selling of any services or product. In my country it's not even actually clear where the government stands about cryptocurrency or bitcoin particularly, and this has made it discouraging for some large  businesses who ordinarily could have involved bitcoin as means of payments for their products and services.

Imagine having to sell your bitcoin through P2P transaction and you'll have to inform the buyer not to involve crypto related words in the bank transaction description to avoid having your money freeze by the bank because as directed by the authority.

Still possible to sell or trade Bitcoin in my country and buy the problems is when trading Bitcoin we wouldn't involved it on our transaction, and yes there are individuals who accept Bitcoin in our country but not that openly after some strict restrictions and regulations in our country.
Of course P2P trading is the fastest and safest way to trade Bitcoin (buying/selling) any cryptocurrency assets across the country..

It's easy to trade Bitcoin in my country. The government over here aren't as strict as they initially were towards it but I rarely see businesses that accept Bitcoin for payment. Or maybe I haven't asked cause I just conclude that they use fiat for payment.

If I'm to use Bitcoin as a means of payment, I'd love to use it in purchasing a phone.

In general, answering the topic title is easy on the condition that you do not directly buy something with Bitcoin but change it into fiat. The way to sell Bitcoin/IDR, then we withdraw IDR to an ATM/bank.

For me who lives in Indonesia, Bitcoin is not allowed as a legal tender like fiat currency. It is not allowed as a legal tender, we still use Bitcoin as a commodity asset.
Easy to sell Bitcoin? Not complicated. We can deposit fiat money to an exchange registered with the government to buy Bitcoin, but we cannot buy something with it because as I explained above it is not allowed as a legal tender.

To what length do you think the power of P2P trade can go? All that they need to do is locate an exchange that can serve as a third party or escrow for themselves and get their trade going anonymously for exchanges which don't offer KYC before they can be used, or the best possible way, which is not the safest, is to trade with one another. You send to me. I pay either with cash or wire transfer with a payment description with anything that doesn't have to do with crypto.

I see your country as Nigeria and I can say that it is not easy to trade bitcoin as we you put it out, yes bitcoin isn’t that outrightly banned but it is not that legal too so the transactions are discreet as no transactions should be spotted by commercial banks and that’s why exchanges P2P are the easiest way to make this transactions but if a bank spot it they freeze such account of the users. This is part of the reasons why you hardly see businesses openly offering bitcoin payment services here except online businesses which aren’t even Nigeria based businesses.

You can definitely get to buy a phone with bitcoin but it might be an online service.

I tend to see Bitcoin transactions as fast and easy to complete, but unfortunately Bitcoin transactions can only be used by individuals and online retailers who can accept Bitcoin as an agreed payment alternative.

And in my country, Bitcoin cannot be used as legal tender and can only be used as a form of investment or trade and only fiat can be used as legal tender, so if you want to use it, I have to convert it and besides that it can only be used in the way I said above.

In my country, although until now bitcoin is still used as a commodity not for legal tender but bitcoin is still supported by the government so it is still very easy to sell bitcoin and buy bitcoin because there are still many local exchanges or large exchanges that are still running so this allows me to continue to maximize the purchases I make.

Currently there is still nothing I can be proud of but there is indeed a desire for myself to buy a house when I try to sell my bitcoin later, my goal for the time being is only that because it can be one of the benchmarks that I want to do right now. Having a house from bitcoin even though I have to let go of ownership I think it is not a bad thing because after all this is also a means to support what I want to aim for in the life I am currently living.

It’s easy to buy and sell BTC here in our country, but spending it,  that’s a headache.
Maybe it’s the same in most parts of the world too. Sure, some places accept Bitcoin, but it’s still very different compared to using a digital wallet backed by fiat as it’s just easier and sometimes even free.

Honestly, I think we’ve already achieved the best we can expect when Bitcoin got regulated and local exchanges started operating here.

We can’t expect much more. At this point, Bitcoin is really more of an investment rather than a utility.
