Bitcoin is just a virtual currency, but it is used as real money to buy many things. There are many people who accept Bitcoin payments for items, including online stores and regular stores. Popular online stores accept Bitcoins including Newegg, Overstock, Microsoft, Dell and more.
In the United States, there are Reeds Jewelers, One Shot Hotels, Holiday Inn, and even pizza locations, restaurants and more. You can even use Bitcoin to buy addictive drugs, gambling, bullion, or even donate to charity. This is the reason why I like BTC.
Yes, I know that there are many stores in Japan that accept bitcoin. But I think bitcoin has not been widely used as a payment method. We can only buy some kinds of goods. I think bitcoin needs to continue to be promoted so that it can be used more widely.
