Top things you can buy using Bitcoins: Wondering what these things are? First a bit about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency created over 4 years ago by an anonymous Internet user. Over the years, this currency, which has turned out to be a legitimate and convenient method of making payments online, has increased exponentially in popularity. Even though the idea of paying for goods using a currency that only exists in the digital world sound somewhat sci-fi, there are quite a number of things you can buy using the Bitcoin.
We would like to present you with a list we have compiled of the top things you can buy using Bitcoins.
Let’s take a look at the countdown.
No. 6: Haircuts
Even though the Bitcoin is not yet a widely used form of payment, individuals have started to offer their services in exchange for the digital currency. Josh Arias, a hairstylist from Reno, Nevada is probably the first hair professional to accept being paid for in Bitcoins. Even though he currently has only one client that is making the payments using the electronic currency, we expect that more and more people will be using Bitcoins to get their hair cut.
No. 5: Holiday Rentals
If you’re looking to spend your holiday in the beautiful city of Nice, France, you can now pay for your accommodation using Bitcoins. Currently, one vacation apartment can be rented and paid for using the digital currency. The vacation flat is located near several of Nice’s tourist attractions. If France isn’t your cup of tea, you can also rent holiday homes using Bitcoins in Croatia and San Francisco.
No. 4: Australian Beef
Are you yearning for some Australian beef? Well, the good news is that you can now pay for your favorite meat using Bitcoins. Honestbeef, an Australian beef delivery services allows customers to make online orders of various types of beef, for which they can pay in either US dollars or Bitcoins. If you are feeling particularly hungry this holiday season, you should know that you can even buy the entire cow.
No. 3: Beer
A nice cold beer is the perfect treat to quench your thirst. And the great news is that you can even pay with Bitcoins for it. Well, in some places at least. A few dozen pubs across the globe, from the UK and the US to Israel and, more recently, China, allow their customers to pay for their drinks using the digital currency. Some pubs will even allow you to pay for your snack with Bitcoins. Nonetheless, make sure you first ask if your bar of choice does accept such payments as, for the moment, pubs accepting Bitcoins are far and few between.
No. 2: Space Travel
Richard Branson has stayed ahead of other entrepreneurs mainly because of his keen and innovative business sense. He has once again proven he is a pioneer by allowing his space tourism company, Virgin Galactic, to accept payments for space journeys in Bitcoins. So, if you have to have a stash of Bitcoins, you can now take advantage and make your first journey to outer space.
No. 1: A Goat
Although this offer is currently no longer available, the idea of buying a goat using Bitcoins was simply too fun not to place it first in our countdown. Earlier this year, an auction site called BitMit.com offered its users the possibility of purchasing a goat. While the offer was primarily intended for people living in Thailand, this is still remains one of the most curious and interesting purchases payable for with Bitcoins.
