What can you buy with cryptocurrency: video games, airline tickets, jewelry, cars

Clothing, groceries, household goods, tickets, Tesla, private jet, yacht, painting, master's degree - these are just some of the things you can buy with Bitcoin.

We have made the most current selection of services, companies and retailers that accept cryptocurrency for payment, and also selected the most unusual offers on the market.

But first you need to know where to buy cryptocurrency. If previously this was available only to a small number of crypto enthusiasts, today there are thousands of services for such purposes. One of the convenient, reliable and simple ones, and therefore suitable for beginners, is Matbea.

Matbea crypto wallet

Matbea is both a cryptocurrency exchanger and a wallet for storing them. Through it you can hold and transfer not only Bitcoin, but also Litecoin, Dash and Zcash.

By downloading the Matbea mobile application for Android or iOS, you can send bitcoins to the wallet of the seller of any product or service anywhere and at any time of the day. If you want to do this as quickly as possible, you should select a high transaction priority. If speed is not required, then you can limit yourself to medium or low priority. The higher the priority, the higher the network commission for conducting the transaction.

It is very easy to receive Bitcoin to your wallet in Matbea. Firstly, you can simply send it there from another wallet. The rate is quite profitable and is updated in real time. Purchases are possible through regular replenishment of the balance using VISA or Mastercard cards. Rubles, dollars and euros are accepted.

Why don’t we pay with Bitcoin at Pyaterochka?

Despite the fact that Bitcoin was conceived by Satoshi Nakamoto as a decentralized payment system that allows you to pay for goods and services without the mediation of banks and the state, BTC did not become the new dollar. Instead, it has become an investment asset - a digital analogue of gold.

Institutional and retail investors are pouring billions into it, viewing it as a defensive asset - a way to hedge against inflation, turmoil in traditional markets and low yields on classic financial instruments.

However, over the 12 years of its existence, Bitcoin has not become a popular means of payment. And the reason is not that no one uses the coin. According to the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance and Binance Research, there were over 100 million cryptocurrency holders last year. And according to information from Blockchain.com and Statista.com, there are more than 68 million unique BTC wallets in the world.

The reason is not due to legal restrictions. In most Western jurisdictions, Bitcoin and payments with it are legal, and the decision to accept it as payment is entirely up to the individual merchant. If a company wants to expand its customer base, it can introduce the acceptance of digital currencies when paying for purchases.

It's all about the technical limitations of Bitcoin - it's simply not suitable for daily payments. The Bitcoin network is slow and poorly scalable. The maximum network speed is only 7–10 transactions per second, and when the workload is high, commissions can exceed the transfer amount, and the transfer itself will have to wait up to several days. By comparison, Visa processes an average of 150 million transactions every day at speeds of up to 60,000 transactions per second. A network with such indicators as Bitcoin is not suitable for mass and everyday use, especially for paying for small purchases.

The volatility of Bitcoin's value is another reason why this cryptocurrency is not used for regular payments. In the morning, a coin can cost $57,000, and by the evening - already $47,000. The investment attractiveness - the growth of BTC in the long term - also does not allow parting with Bitcoin for the sake of a purchase. It is more profitable to hold a coin than to pay with it (everyone knows the story about pizza for 10,000 BTC).

Therefore, Bitcoin could not become new money. Currently, military-technical cooperation is mainly used only as an investment asset.

However, even despite the negative aspects mentioned above, you can now buy almost any retail product for BTC and other cryptocurrencies - it’s just a matter of time, effort and negotiations with the seller. Didi Taihuttu’s family even manages to travel the world with his wife and three daughters, living almost entirely on bitcoins alone. Thousands of companies around the world are ready to accept cryptocurrencies. And soon it will be possible to pay with crypto assets through the PayPal payment service. Alternatively, a workaround is to use crypto cards that convert your coins to fiat currencies.

Therefore, if you are willing to spend a little time searching, you can always find a seller who will accept Bitcoin. Even if this is not the closest “Pyaterochka” yet.

Below we have put together a small selection of goods that can be bought for the first cryptocurrency right now, and have selected the most interesting offers on the market.

User reviews about paying for goods in Russia with Bitcoin

Users have different attitudes towards paying for goods and services with Bitcoin. Frequent review: “Cryptocurrency is a pyramid”

For example, user Anellena writes:

It seems to me, or Bitcoin is just another MMM type pyramid.

But, in fact, the currency is a pyramid that is not backed by anything.

Another user “britnispirzzz”, on the contrary, predicts the decline of fiat money:

The era of cash is coming to an end. Cash payment limits are being reduced. Switzerland is thinking about abandoning cash altogether. We will come to this in half a century. Cryptocurrency is a mattress bank, inaccessible to the gaze of the state.

Offline purchases with Bitcoin

Unfortunately, there are still very few offline retailers in the world that accept bitcoins directly. Therefore, you have to use gift cards or crypto cards, which we wrote about above.

Using special services (for example, Bitcoin.Travel, Coinmap and useBitcoins) you can find suitable offline points on the map. These will include shops, hotels, bars and restaurants, including chain Subway, Burger King, Papa John's and SpicesCave.

How Bitcoin works

Let's look at an example. You open a Bitcoin wallet, it is essentially the same electronic wallet, a storage of electronic currency. To receive a certain amount of BTC on it, you need to send the address generated by the wallet to the person who is ready to fund your account.

The initiated transaction is confirmed by this person and enters the block chain (blockchain). All operations in the system are protected by cryptographic encryption, so the level of security is incredibly high. Transaction data is stored in a distributed database, simply put, on the computers of all participants in the blockchain. Hackers cannot hack the system or change data because the total computing power in the system exceeds the capabilities of the attackers.

It takes approximately 10 minutes to process a transaction on the blockchain, the time depends on the commission (reward to participants) chosen by the sender.

Luxury items for Bitcoin

But for those who have made a fortune on Bitcoin, there are many worthy offers.

For example, the Swiss company Idoneus offers over 1,200 expensive products that can be purchased with Bitcoin. Among them:

• Luxury real estate around the world.
• Yacht Majesty 140 for $25 million.
• Private plane.
• Gold watch.
• Jewelry.
• Works of art.

Inability to cancel the operation

Once Bitcoins are sent, they cannot be returned unless the recipient does so. All transactions are not retroactive.

Based on the above, we can say that Bitcoin theoretically has broad capabilities. How does this work in practice? We will talk about this in other articles, in which we will dwell in detail on how Bitcoin mining is carried out, transactions are carried out and monitored by the network.

Own island for Bitcoin

And if you love surfing and the sea, then for 1 BTC you can rent a private island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Beran Island resort, located in the Marshall Islands, is ready to provide a place.

Vacationers will have access to the best surfing, fishing and scuba diving. Beran Island is an eco-friendly resort, all of its energy comes from solar panels and wind turbines. Renting the island with Bitcoin complies with the Sovereign Currency Act of 2022, passed as part of the Marshall Islands' attempt to move away from dependence on the US dollar.

How many are there?

Many people are interested in how many bitcoins there are in the world at the moment. Their approximate number is slightly more than 18.2 million (as of February 2022). The system provides for the creation of a new Bitcoin by using a special device for computing operations and processing transaction data - mining. But it won’t be possible to “print” a lot of new currency in this way - the system sets a limit on the number of bitcoins created per day (1800 BTC).

There is a maximum allowable number of btc, upon reaching which mining (creation of new units of currency) will no longer be possible and it is 21 million. Using simple calculations from current indicators, it is easy to calculate that the increase in the number of virtual coins to the maximum will last for 150 years (approximately 2140), which means the questions “how many bitcoins can there be in the world?” and “how many zeros does it have?” You can simply not ask yourself.

What is Bitcoin and what is its practical significance for the end consumer? There is no even theoretical possibility of producing such a quantity of cryptocurrency that this would lead to a fall in its price for a long time. A striking example: the US dollar has fallen more than 300 times over the past 100 years due to the emergence of more and more new money. At the same time, only one structure had control over their release. As a result, the investments and savings of millions of people could and could become worthless at any time. In fact, this statement works for every classical currency and payment system.

Gold and jewelry for Bitcoin

BTC is often called digital gold, but you can also buy real precious metal with Bitcoin. Here are examples of suitable sites:

• Bitgild and European Mint sell physical gold, silver or platinum for cryptocurrency;
• BitDials - online boutique of luxury watches (Tag Heuer, Cartier, Breitling) and jewelry;
• Reeds is an American luxury jewelry chain.

Who accepts payments in Bitcoin?

A cryptocurrency transaction cannot be reversed, which means the seller can be sure that they will receive their money in full. In principle, you don’t have to wait for six confirmations; if at least two miners recognize the transaction as valid, then the payment has gone through. Mobile applications make it possible to pay with crypto coins not only online, but also at the checkout counters of retail outlets.

Where is Bitcoin accepted? Suppliers of goods and services working with cryptocurrency can be divided into 3 categories.

1. Web markets. Typically these are commodity aggregators focused on the blockchain industry. But on the Internet you can also find highly specialized stores that accept Bitcoin, for example, sites selling PC components, skin care products, souvenirs, etc. A Bitcoin store can also accept other top coins, most often Ripple or Ethereum, as well as fiat money.

• Services for the provision of Internet services. In this area, payment with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin is used quite often. People buy:
• Electronic cinema tickets.
• Software.
• Computer games.

They also pay for subscriptions to other services, freelance services, and place bets in Bitcoin casinos.

• Offline services. You may ask how to find the middle ground between immediate payment and confidence in the quality of the product purchased online. Of course, at this stage of development of the crypto industry, this is not easy. The high volatility of Bitcoin does not allow it to be used for payment in hypermarkets. The staff would go crazy changing the price tags. But in a small coffee shop or beauty salon this problem can be easily solved. Places that accept Bitcoin usually have its logo on the sign.

Unfortunately, the legal status of digital money in many countries has not yet been determined. Therefore, companies accepting Bitcoin do it semi-legally. It is impossible for a client who paid with virtual money to issue a cash receipt and report such a transaction to the fiscal services.

However, every year the number of stores that accept Bitcoin increases. In some countries, Bitcoin can be used to buy groceries and pay for trips on public transport.

Expensive cars for Bitcoin

In early February, Tesla, Elon Musk's electric car company, announced in a statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and also announced that it would soon accept the first cryptocurrency as payment for cars.

But the Tesla case is not unique. Thus, the Californian electric vehicle manufacturer Karma Automotive has been accepting Bitcoin at its main dealership in Newport Beach since October 2022.

In the companies BitCars and AutoCoinCars you can buy cars of almost all luxury brands with Bitcoin:

• Bugatti
• McLaren
• Koenigsegg
• Ferrari
• Lamborghini
• Mustang
• Porsche
• Rolls-Royce
• Mercedes-Benz
• Volkswagen

Can Bitcoin replace fiat?

Whether people will be able to give up paper money is a moot point.
Money in material form has existed for more than 2000 thousand years. Paper bills and coins are easy for anyone to use. Cryptocurrency is complex and accessible to few. And we are unlikely to get to the point where it will be possible to pay with Bitcoin in a village store. For quite a long time, people refused to receive salaries in paper envelopes and got used to the introduction of plastic cards. Utility payments are now available from a computer or smartphone, but queues at banks have not disappeared. Cryptocurrency is the future, but not everyone is ready for it. Great article 2

Private jets for Bitcoin

If cars aren't enough for you and you have $40 million worth of BTC, you can buy a private jet with Bitcoin.

In September 2022, Aviatrade, a European aircraft trading company, added Bitcoin as a payment method for all business jet purchases.

Advantages and disadvantages of payment method

Paying with bitcoins has many advantages:

• There is no inspection or control of private or public companies;
• Instant transactions;
• Low commissions for transfer, input;
• Uninterrupted operation;
• Not subject to inflation;
• Transaction security;
• Anonymity.

Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting the high fees for withdrawing bitcoins to a card or electronic wallets. Also, we must not forget about the serious volatility of BTC: the value of one bitcoin can rise or fall sharply.

Works of art for Bitcoin

Bitcoin millionaires live not only for material things - art is also not alien to them.

Especially for them there is the Singulart marketplace - an online art store where you can buy works of both beginners and established artists for Bitcoin.

Most of the art sold on the platform is expensive, but you can find some impressive pieces for as little as a couple hundred dollars.

What is the basis of Bitcoin?

Conventional currency is backed by gold or silver. Theoretically, for each unit of a particular national currency there is a certain amount of precious metal, which can be obtained when the bill is returned to the bank. In practice, of course, this is impossible.

Unlike regular money, Bitcoin is not based on gold, but on mathematics. Network participants around the world use software and special equipment to issue coins based on a mathematical formula. It is freely available, so anyone can familiarize themselves with it.

The software is also open source, which allows you to study its operation from the inside and understand the entire mechanism of action.

Online stores

Bitcoin is accepted by dozens of large Western and Asian online retailers.

In 2014, the American online store Overstock, which sells everything at once - from clothing to furniture and equipment, was one of the first to accept BTS. In addition to the first cryptocurrency, the retailer also accepts ETH, DASH and BCH. A few years later, others followed his example.

Please note that if a refund is issued, the money will be returned in dollars, even if this amount is less in Bitcoin. This way the company protects itself from risks associated with the volatility of the first cryptocurrency. Other retailers have similar return policies.

Let's list a few major players in this sector that are popular among Russian buyers and accept Bitcoin for payment:

• Newegg - computer and mining equipment;
• Etsy is a marketplace for handmade goods. Unfortunately, only about 100 merchants accept Bitcoin on the site;
• Lanieri - Italian clothing.

Many Western retailers do not deliver goods to Russia directly, but you can use the services of intermediary sites. For a commission, they will buy the selected product and send it to Russia.

If you are looking for a specific product, you can use one of the aggregator sites:

• useBitcoins is a platform with almost 5,000 companies that accept BTC;
• Spendabit is a search engine that can find a specific product available for purchase with Bitcoin.

How to top up a BTC wallet

You can top up your BTC account in several ways; let’s look at the most popular and convenient ones.

Exchangers and exchanges

Before doing this, you need to create a Bitcoin wallet. It is important to find reliable exchangers or use exchanges where cryptocurrency transactions are carried out. Further algorithm of actions:

1. Go to the official currency exchange website. Exchangers are kind of banks that offer a large number of different currencies and fiat.
2. Set the exchange parameters: to a Bitcoin wallet. You can order BTC withdrawal to a card or electronic wallets.
3. Wait for your application to be reviewed and select the options offered.
4. Follow the exchanger's recommendations.

The disadvantages of receiving bitcoins this way are a high commission percentage and sometimes unfavorable exchange conditions.

Payment systems

Some electronic payment systems offer to exchange rubles, dollars or euros for bitcoins within the system. For example, Webmoney: you need to create a wallet with BTC and order a transfer from an existing ruble or dollar storage.

Cryptocurrency ATMs

Cryptocurrency ATMs are special stationary machines for exchanging cryptocurrency for fiat. They are connected to the Internet and require transaction confirmation by entering a cryptographic key or password and code.

Most ATMs operate only in the crypto-fiat direction, but some offer Bitcoin withdrawal to a card or electronic wallets. In the Russian Federation, more than 50 ATMs have been installed in cities with a population of over a million.

Selling services and goods

The easiest way is to create a BTC wallet and display goods or offer services on sales sites. Instead of the price, you need to set the equivalent in electronic currency and organize the purchase through bitcoins.

Direct purchase from currency holders

If you have created a crypto-wallet, you can find mutually beneficial Bitcoin turnover on specialized resources. In this case, you send the QR code to the seller, he activates the transaction and transfers you the electronic currency, you pay with fiat or other crypto.

Mining

Bitcoin mining is the most outdated way to obtain treasured electronic coins. Due to the great popularity of the main cryptocurrency unit, mining (collecting crypto through video cards and other powerful equipment) requires large cash injections, and these costs have not been justified recently.

Bitcoin Gift Cards and Coupons

But most major online retailers still do not accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. But there is a way to buy products from them using only digital currency - through gift cards and coupons.

There are services that allow you to buy coupons or cards with Bitcoin, which can then be exchanged for purchases and services in regular stores such as Starbucks, Apple, Uber, Adidas, Amazon, Walmart and thousands of others. Among these services:

• Bitrefill
• eGifter
• Gyft
• purse.io
• Cryfter
• Instagift

In particular, gift cards from Bitrefill can also be used by buyers from Russia. Thus, the site has several dozen stores and services in our country, including Perekrestok, Spor, Hoff, Detsky Mir, Decathlon and Amediateka.

Main types of wallets

The Bitcoin payment system does not stand still; new wallets are constantly being created. Here are the main types of wallets for BTC cryptocurrency:

1. Cold paper wallets. Essentially, this is a printout of a QR code that is used for calculations. The advantage is that only the owner will have access to it. Inconvenient for frequent online shopping.
2. Cold hardware. Another tangible product that resembles a flash drive with a display and buttons. Payment is made by entering a key and password or connecting the wallet via USB to a PC.
3. Local. Applications on a PC or smartphone, sometimes browser extensions are developed. Indispensable for Proof of Stake (confirmation of shared property). You can make transfers using local wallets, but it is not safe to store crypto for a long time this way.
4. Mobile. The most popular storage devices for smartphones running the Android or iOS operating system. Bitcoin payments between holders take place via a QR code or NFC system.

Judging by the reviews, in online casinos or bookmakers it is more convenient to use mobile wallets to pay for services with bitcoins. In them you can view history, currency statistics and other information that changes in real time when connected to the Internet.

Video games for bitcoin

Bitcoins can be spent at many popular online video game stores:

• Xbox—pay for games, add-ons, and Xbox Live subscriptions;
• PlayStation Network - paid subscription to games, add-ons and PS Network;
• Humble Bundle - indie games site;
• Green Man Gaming - games for Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo consoles;
• Zynga - mobile and online games;
• Microsoft - The company allows customers to deposit Bitcoin into their Microsoft accounts to buy games, movies and apps on the Windows Store and Xbox.

Fast transactions

Once the coins are sent and the transaction is processed online, it will only take a few minutes for them to reach the recipient's wallet. With bank transfers it is impossible to achieve such fast and convenient payments.

An additional advantage is the ability to install a Bitcoin wallet on an Android device. This allows you to always have access to your coins, send or exchange them for other cryptocurrencies using mobile gadgets.

Hotels and flights for Bitcoin

Booking and Airbnb do not yet accept Bitcoin, but there are several other services where you can pay with BTC while planning your trip:

• Travala - book hotels and air tickets around the world;
• Expedia, one of the world's largest agencies, currently only allows you to book hotels with Bitcoin, but plans to add the ability to purchase air tickets;
• AirBaltic - Baltic airline;
• Webjet and CheapAir - booking tickets, hotels, cruises, car rentals;
• Bitcoin Travel - the most complete list of travel companies that use Bitcoin;
• Travel For Coins is another Bitcoin travel site.

You can also see a list of hotels around the world that accept BTC on the Bitcoinwide portal.

How is BTC withdrawn to the card?

BTC is transferred to the card using the same methods used when replenishing a crypto wallet.

Best withdrawal methods

The easiest way is to act through an exchanger. On the exchanger’s website you need to find the most advantageous offer and order the service. On forums or sites that track exchange rates, they know how to withdraw money from a Bitcoin wallet in the most profitable way: you can look for posts with withdrawal requests or look at the analytics of rates of different exchangers in real time.

Transferring crypto from a Webmoney BTC wallet is also simple, but the commission will be at least 0.8% of the amount + 50 rubles (equivalent in bitcoins), plus you need to take into account the commission for withdrawal to a card in order to withdraw money from ATMs.

Limits and commission

Limits and commissions are set by payment systems offering transactions using cryptocurrency. Also, restrictions on the amount and number of transactions can be fixed by online platforms: casinos, bookmakers, shops.

Donations and charity

Due to their decentralized nature and transparency, cryptocurrencies and blockchain can significantly change the field of philanthropy by making it possible to track the use of donated funds.

Dozens of charities around the world accept donations in Bitcoin:

• Antiwar is an anti-war organization fighting militarism and hostilities;

• anonymity;
• complete transparency;

You can learn more about this by watching various videos for dummies, of which there are plenty on the Internet today. We will consider each of these points in general terms.

The best payment services for merchants

The most popular financial market statistics services:

• Cryptonator;
• Blockchain;
• Coinbase;

You need to submit an application to connect the Internet service to the system. Waiting time from 5 minutes to several working days.

Advantages of accepting payments in cryptocurrency

The benefits for sellers are approximately the same as for buyers:

• Anonymity;
• Safety;
• No malfunctions;
• Transaction speed;
• The commission is imposed on buyers.

Since Bitcoin is not controlled either at the state or international level, you can organize the work of not entirely legal Internet sites and receive a lot of money for it.

Education for Bitcoin

And in conclusion, we tell you about an interesting offer from one of the universities in Cyprus.

Maybe you want to become a certified Bitcoin specialist? Then you can enroll in the master's program at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus - the institution accepts BTC as payment for the master's course "Digital Currency". Back in 2013, the University of Nicosia became the first accredited university in the world to accept cryptocurrency as payment for tuition.

Bitcoin what is it? What is Bitcoin? (+video)

What is Bitcoin in simple words? The first thing you need to know is that it is a virtual currency and it works on both computers and mobile devices. In addition, the Bitcoin currency does not have a central administrator or any control by people. As a result, this results in significant benefits for users.

The creation of Bitcoin was started in 2008 by a programmer under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The new currency came to world fame just 2 years later, demonstrating a steady upward trend. The name of the creator gave the name to the smallest particle (one ten-millionth part) - satoshi.

Transport

The news that another car owner is selling his car for bitcoins will not surprise anyone. The price in BTC immediately attracts attention to the sale announcement, which certainly increases the number of views. Therefore, it is quite possible to buy a car with cryptocurrency.

But a mining dump truck with a carrying capacity of a couple of hundred tons is new on the market. The world's largest manufacturer of mining dump trucks, BELAZ, has announced a promotion; until January 30, you can leave an application for the purchase of equipment and pay for it with bitcoins. The company explained this non-standard offer by its desire to always keep up with the times and make its products more accessible.

Food

Who among the readers did not have a heart skip a beat when reading the story about the guy who bought pizza in 2010 for 10 thousand bitcoins? After this story, a comic “pizza course” appeared on some sites, allowing you to calculate how much the would-be entrepreneur lost on this “profitable” deal.

So, where will we spend Bitcoin on food? The latest known promotion: Canadian KFC offered its customers to buy the legendary chicken basket for bitcoins. “Bitcoin Basket” costs only 20 Canadian dollars – that’s about 0.001 bitcoin. But the buyer will have to shell out a little more money, since the basket is only available with home delivery.

The FoodForCoins project has been launched in Moscow, although it is still in test mode. The service covers Moscow and cities of the Moscow region. Previously, the Subway diner allowed you to purchase sandwiches for “bits,” but this promotion has now ended.

At the Kurskaya metro station there is a club-bar “Evening School”, where lectures and seminars are held. Beer and burgers can be paid for with bitcoins.

Shops and cafes of the Lavka Lavka chain also offer a snack and a cup of coffee by paying in BTC. Moreover, payment can be made both in bitcoins and in tokens of the Bio farmer cooperative, having previously purchased them for BTC.

Trips

The carrier Expedia and the travel agency CheapAir allow you not only to pay for a flight to anywhere in the world, but even to book the desired hotel. Every year the number of foreign companies that have introduced payment with cryptocurrency is growing. The goal is simple - make it easier to pay for travel and increase booking security. Bitcoin payments apply not only to air travel, but even to renting a car and flying into space.

Virgin Galactic is a space tourism company. They were the first to propose using cryptocurrency to pay for “travel” to space. According to the head of the company, Richard Branson, the company already has satisfied clients who have seen space.
