Not enogh things you can buy and thats why it is not used mor. But it will soon.

That's true but if you are engage with bitcoin business you can buy a lot of it. Just like if you are into information technology business, you can use bitcoin for buying some rigs like for mining or gaming. As there are a lot of merchants who are ready to accept bitcoin now. But in local places, the usage is still limited.

there is no doubt that we can buy a lot of things using bitcoin online as most of the online stores accept bitcoin, but when we speak speak about use of bitcoin in or local shops then in most of the area the shopkeepers do not accept bitcoin for shopping, may be in some area like in Brazil and Russian and in China bitcoin will be accepted in local markets but still in most of the area bitcoin is not accepted as currency for shopping.

Yes in Brazil there are a lot of stores that are accepting bitcoin, I wonder on how many are the total stores now that are accepting bitcoin. I wish that I'm living in that countries where I can use my bitcoins freely. But I'm not able very limited resource and merchants. Also there are merchants that are allowing a customer from offshore and able to do shipping for any product that you will buy from them.

It's cool and all that the acceptance in Brazil is quite on the higher side compared with other countries, but what I want to know is how frequent Bitcoin is being used to pay for things.

I can't find anything pointing towards any numbers or statistics telling me whether or not people actually use that payment option.

Mainly because of the fact that Bitcoin is seen far more as an investment tool rather than a currency tool. Also, how often do these webshops get checked to see whether or not they still accept Bitcoin?

actually bitcoin is giving you multiple option, you can use bitcoin as an investment, you can also use it for saving, because bitcoin is the best option to store your assets, and the 3rd is that bitcoin used as currency in most of places.
