BTC is like property, think of it that way, BTC isn't great for transactions, it's more like digital gold or property.
I lived off trading crypto for over 2 years.
Bought a Pinephone and access to a special website with it. Also put some into my regular account after buying an expensive(ish) drone.
Just subscriptions and donations to based people atm
Some gift cards from one of the card sites and electronics from Pimoroni, and a few donations here and there.
I've made pretty much every purchase from Pimoroni with BTC.
Buying air tickets is one thing that is convenient to do with bitcoin. For example, with cheapair.com.
Of course, nowadays with covid tests or vaccines required traveling by air is less convenient.
I made the mistake years ago of not buying it because the only people that were using it for currency were pot smokers trying to buy weed off the internet or pedophiles trying to buy porn off the dark web.
Kind of pissed I missed it when it was like $20
Yeah, that's when I first heard about it too. Something I would be interested in using, but not interested in buying enough at a time to invest.
If it makes you feel any better, my friend used bitcoin for drugs back in high school in 2010 when it was worthless. Probably around $0.10 a pop. He'd need over 200 just to trade $20 of weed.
He has hundreds and hundreds of bitcoin sitting around in some wallet he can't access anymore since it's been ten years. Lol. He probably thinks about it ever night before bed.
I bought an oz of gold with mine. Gamble with BTC, convert winnings into a hard asset, stack.
I use it the profits to buy silver. Now what do these boomers on this site got to say about that? Crypto gets bashed on here because oldfags don't understand the concept of it.
Also buy now. Forecast says it could go up to 100k end of this year.
We get it, we also get that stuff that people buy, just to hope that the value goes up so they can sell it to someone else, is a bubble. I'm looking to see how many people actually use it for it's stated purpose which is as a currency.
yes
