Is it just me?
Save using gift cards, or the rate app portal, I basically have no choice but to use a bitcoin debit card if I actually want to spend my BTC. I have never actually seen a real store that actually accepts bitcoin. At least a brick and mortar. I live in NC, near the SC border. save the Research Triangle, bitcoin is still absolutely unknown in these parts. Is it better in more metropolitan areas, or is this pretty much the case across the whole US?
In India Bitcoin adoption is rapidly increasing and the government is even planning to legalise it, but still merchant adoption is somewhat nil. Unocoin, India's one of the leading bitcoin exchanges have partnered with a couple of online stores to accept bitcoin and recently one of the restaurants in a metropolitan city started accepting bitcoin, that's it. Only one physical store accepting bitcoin in India.
