Where Can I Spend Crypto?

You can’t use cryptocurrency directly on Amazon, but you can use a service that accepts bitcoin as an intermediary, called Purse.io, illustrating that innovation is happening. Amazon may offer it in time, but here’s a list of big recognisable brands accepting cryptocurrency right now

• Express VPN – One of the world’s most popular VPN services
• Amazon via Purse.io – A marketplace offering 15% discount for bitcoin users.
• New Egg – computer hardware & electronics
• Overstock – Discount retailer for big items
• Norwegian Air – Scandinavian budget airline
• Dallas Mavericks – Tickets & merchandise for the NBA
• Oakland Athletics – Purchase of private suites in the MLB
• Bitrefill – Mobile top-up & gift cards for Skype, UBER, Vodafone, Playstation, Apple Store & many other big brand names
• Twitch – The Streaming platform accepts a wide range of cryptocurrencies
• AT&T – Large US Mobile network, the first to accept cryptocurrency
• XBox Credits – Top-up your XBox account with Bitcoin
• Air Baltic – The first airline in the world to accept bitcoin

There is a huge number of much smaller business, both online and bricks and mortar, that now accept crypto. We aren’t yet at a tipping point, but as the solutions to scaling of both bitcoin and ethereal gain traction, this could be sooner than you think.

If You Live In El Salvador

On September 7th, 2021 El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. This means that businesses in El Salvador are expected to accept Bitcoin which means you can already spend it in the biggest brands of all such as McDonald’s and Starbucks.

El Salvador’s population is 6.5million, so it is a small population. If more countries follow their lead then you’ll quickly see more places emerging that accept Bitcoin because it will be mandated.
