My apology

As a business, neither LocalBitcoins nor 100bit.co.in accept FIAT. Users can exchange FIAT through them.

Yes, you can add ShapeShift.io, Bitin.io, Simpleswap.me etc. too...

I see what you are suggesting as they only are the arbitrators or escrow agents in the transaction. This is somewhat of a grey area where I will fall on the side of leaving them off as they facilitate people selling their bitcoin for fiat which is not what this list is intended to promote. I like those sites and they are very important to our ecosystem but this list is to highlight businesses who purposely reject all fiat and take a principled stand with not facilitating it either.

Thanks for your suggestion of Bitin.io , I added that too.


Yes, I'm on the fence about listing them, but will leave them off as they do assist people in getting rid of their Bitcoin where this list is intended to encourage people to stay within the crypto currency ecosystem.

I realize that some or most of bitcoin spent with businesses in this directory will be eventually converted to fiat and it is unrealistic for most people to completely stop transacting in fiat. I am being realistic about taking small steps to help promote businesses that have a very slight benefit to our ecosystem. With enough effort and time these businesses can help bolster and strengthen our community and encourage other businesses to join.

Well, I understand and appreciate your logic. I updated my previous post and added another exchange SimpleSwap.me, which you probably missed. Please note that, I have never used these bitin.io/simpleswap.me. So, I can not vouch for their authenticity like I can do for LocalBitcoins/100bit.co.in.

By the way, you may add a bitcoin only recharge platform - bitrefill.com. Though they are using Bitpay and hence indirectly dumping coins for FIAT.

Please can you add "https" to our link ? Thank you

Wow. That's a lot of dead businesses. What happened to Amagi? I heard some bad things about them after a change of ownership or something. I don't think them going crypto only is a very good move any more.

Yeah, great mate. You provide the user of bitcoin to spend their bitcoin. Usually the stores not accept the  bitcoin anymore. Your site can be alternative way if i can't find some musical gear in my real life.

Amagi still excepts fiat and the hard truth is that unless you are operating some distinct business that serves the underserved (gambling, drugs, ect...) it is very hard to not accept fiat. These businesses are likely paying the bills with another side business, which is understandable. The good news is that we have Openbazaar which is growing and soon dropzone will come out as well .



Thank you. Added.

That's awesome,  I may actually have to spend some bitcoin there next time I'm in the mood for some precious metals.   They've been on a tear lately, too.

that's a cool list altho the bitcoin.com joke of a website do get fiat to promote scams.
