I rent cars, pay for groceries, and basically do everything else with Bitcoin. I have to use card gateways like Bitwala for that, but it works for me perfectly. My debit card can be usually loaded with Bitcoin within 10-15 minutes (it is especially helpful as I live in 2 countries and travel a lot; bank transfers take much more time).
There are many companies now where you can get your salary paid in Bitcoin. In fact, it is so infinitely more convenient, I think that only the forces of mental inertia hold this approach from immediate universal adoption.
- samastur 10y agoNot really. High fluctuation of bitcoin's value is the real killer when most expenses will need to be paid in a not-bitcoin currency.
- atemerev 10y agoWorked for me for the last year.
- AstralStorm 9y agoOne year is an awfully short time for a currency.
- 6nf 10y agoMy credit card does all of that and they actually reward me for using them, so given the choice when paying for something I will choose a credit card 100% of the time.
- honestlyreally 10y agoThey reward you by charging the merchant more. You realise that right?
- 6nf 9y agoOf course, that's what's so great about it. I don't pay a thing!
- atemerev 10y agoRight, so do I. The only problem is that I can't cover my credit card with Bitcoin, and I earn some part of my revenue with it.
