Five years ago would you have imagined you could go on vacation, pay your bills, or even go to Mars with crypto? You know my feelings- cryptocurrencies are the future. And with blockchain technology the possibilities are endless!
From large luxury items to daily purchases made easy, read on to find unique ways to spend your crypto coins!
Get a degree in Digital Currency with digital currency! University of Nicosia in Cypress was the the first accredited university in the world to accept Bitcoin for tuition and fees. You can get a degree in anything you're interested in, and they offer an online distance learning program. There are many private schools for youngsters that are accepting cryptocurrencies, too.
Dish TV has partnered with Coinbase and you can now pay for your TV viewing with Bitcoin.
The currency of the future purchases the car of the future: A Tesla model S was purchased for 91.4 BTC in December of 2013. The California car dealer still accepts bitcoin, and recently sold a Lamborghini Gallardo for 216.8 BTC.
Go to Mars. Mars coin plans on being the official currency used when we colonize Mars. You can tell a lot about the developers of a technology, and the team is a highly passionate bunch.
Overstock.com, Shopify, MediaTemple.org, Etsy.com, Square, WordPress.com, and Newegg.com are just a few places that accept Bitcoin. And many small websites and retailers take cryptocurrencies as forms of payment.
Guns? Yes, you can now purchase pistols and ammo from stores like Frontier Tactical. They currently only accept Bitcoin but plan on adding altcoins in the near future.
You may not accumulate frequent flier miles like with your credit card, but you can book travel to almost anywhere in the world with Bitcoin. In 2013CheapAir.com became the first travel agency to accept BTC. You can pay for your entire holiday- rental car, hotel and flights. Expedia.com also accepts BTC. Both travel agencies have partnered with Coinbase.com to accept crypto payment and are implementing altcoins soon.
Real estate companies are accepting Bitcoin to purchase land and even luxury homes. Some sellers only accept the cryptocurrency.
- Steemit classifieds! Give Away your stuff, browse for stuff, trade stuff, or buy stuff - Get upvoted for your offers on the #SteemFleaMarket!
With more and more retailers accepting cryptocurrencies as payment, soon it will be difficult to find places that do not.
If you are interested in paying with cryptos, just ask your favorite store if they accept payment! If not, try educating them. Chances are they are considering it but just don't know where to start.
May the cryptos be ever in your favor!

I love you guys!
I appreciate your support :)
This is amazing. I’m a long-term hold person, as I’m hoping to see a really nice valuation over time, but it’s possible to imagine a day when everything operates on crypto currency.

I hope the practice of accepting cryptocurrencies will spread, mainly because I am a HODL-er , haha. But from the business point of view, you need to be gutsy to accept crypto, because value of crypto is very volatile, so the bussiness owners really need some guarantee to base portion of their payments in crypto. But like I said before, I do hope this will become an even more wide spread practice

This is going to be tough to be able to predict the outcome of the market. But one thing am kinda of sure is that they wont put a ban on cryptocurrency. There's going to be lots of attempts at centralized regulations but the specific regulatory guidelines is what I can't say...

Cryptocurrencies are here to stay. Sure, some won't make it. But many will. And a few will rise to the top. I am confident Steemit is one of the ones that will go beyond the moon :)

I would have though 'Frontier Tactical' would take GunCoin? ;)
I come from the UK and we have a rather large computer outlet that accepts BitCoin too, and have done for at least 2 years, it is coming...

Even her majesty buys computer from these guys.. though probably not with BTC.
