Here's your data, a single sample size:
- I live in a US city with a population over 1M.
- I have about 0.5 BTC
- I have never - ever - seen a place in the Real World where I can spend it.
- I cannot be sure of this assertion, but it's worth saying anyway: The only place online I can recall seeing that accepts BTC as payment is PIA vpn service. I cannot recall any other place (this certainly doesn't mean there aren't any!).
If a reasonably tech-savvy person cannot spend it in the real world, it does not meet my standards for something being 'practical'. Period.
- mrb 9y agoI spend my bitcoins on: my CPA, computer gear (Newegg), games (Steam), VPS and domain names (Vultr, Gandi), furniture (Overstock), etc Also you fail to realize it but Bitcoin's practicality extends to more than just payments: it's great for informal person-to-person transactions. I gift bitcoins to my family overseas, I pay back lunch money to coworkers in bitcoins, etc. In fact I think person-to-person transactions is one of Bitcoin's most promising use case...
