I haven't used bitcoin to purchase anything,and I would like to purchase goods with bitcoin some day.I prefer using fiat to purchase things both physical and online because I wouldn't want to tamper on my holding.Though the main purpose of bitcoin is to purchase goods online and prevent double spending,but now it's more of a store of value than a payment method.The only reason that can make me purchase something online with bitcoin is when there's no fiat in the payment option otherwise I prefer payment with fiat then
my bitcoin for investment purpose.Outside the internet,many countries are restricted from transacting bitcoin in public,so that also be among the factors why Bitcoin isn't used as a payment method.

Despite me also, I have not used Bitcoin to make any purchases before. But I have it in mind that one day, I will try to use it to make a purchase whether online or physically. But for now, I am in the accumulation stage, and I would not like to distract myself by spending my Bitcoin.At this stage, I feel the opportunity lies in accumulating Bitcoin to use as an asset, not just to buy things or spend casually. So for now, it’s better for me to continue using fiat money to buy anything I need whether online or offline.

Even if I wanted to use Bitcoin, I would still need to pay transaction fees. Most people we see making Bitcoin transactions are usually involved in heavy transactions. For others, many prefer holding their Bitcoin because they don’t want their story to end up like those who spent their bitcoin early and used it on things that weren’t really worth using Bitcoin for as price have increase so well.
