Since the birth of Bitcoin, the rest of the cryptocurrencies and the whole world that surrounds them, this form of electronic currency has evolved until today it is a current topic practically every day. Although the best known are Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin, there are other cryptocurrencies that can see their value increase or decrease.
Such is the great terrain that cryptocurrencies have created that there are many companies and establishments that allow their items to be purchased with this electronic money. These are some examples of products that can be purchased by paying for cryptocurrencies:
Travels
Websites such as Expedia or Cheap Air allow online payment for your trips through cryptocurrencies. Both portals indicate the terms and conditions of payment with cryptocurrencies so that there is no confusion
Football players
In January of this year , history was made in Spanish soccer after the Second Division team B DUX Internacional de Madrid signed the player David Barral with cryptocurrencies, being the first transfer in the history of this sport that is carried out with this method of pay.
This could represent a new form of business in football, since transfers in this sport are generally very expensive, reaching astronomical figures.
Team loyalty tokens
There are many football teams that have their own cryptocurrency and whose fans can buy them as a method of loyalty with the club. Teams such as Barcelona, PSG, Roma, Juventus, Atlético de Madrid or Milan have this system of digital assets.
Owning these tokens gives advantages to fans who own them, such as being able to participate in some club decisions or access discounts and promotions.
Fast food
There are many fast food restaurants that accept payment with cryptocurrencies to eat at their restaurants. One of them for example is Subway . There are many locals in the United States who accept to pay with this currency.
Cars
In the UK, BMW allows its vehicles to be purchased using Bitcoins, albeit by going to a third-party site.
Until recently Tesla also accepted payment with Bitcoin for their vehicles, but recently Elon Musk announced that they stopped accepting this method as payment.
University degrees
In 2014, King’s College in New York accepted Bitcoin as a payment method for tuition. From there, other schools have started accepting cryptocurrencies as payment.
But you don’t need to use your digital wallet to make the payment. Many students and their families invest in Bitcoin and then cash out when it’s time to start paying. The downside to this is that there is a risk that the value of cryptocurrencies will go down while that of tuition rises.
Artworks
The Verisart company has created a platform that makes it easy for artists to accept Bitcoin, so artists may be willing to configure it for their purchases. There is also a long list of art galleries in the United States that accept Bitcoin as payment for art.
Go to the movies
Movie Tickets is one of the largest merchants to adopt cryptocurrency as a payment method. You can buy tickets to about 900 theaters in the United States. Through the site, you can enter your zip code and view the movies and cinemas available in your area. The cinemas that accept tickets purchased through Movie Tickets are those of Regal Cinemas, which has different locations in the United States.
Pay TV
The price of pay TV is quite expensive, especially if we want to hire packages from different channels.
The company Dish Network Corporation has allowed since 2014 to pay for its pay television service with Bitcoin through the BitPay system.
Furniture
American furniture companies such as Fancy and Overstock allow payment for their furniture with cryptocurrencies.
In the case of the first, this company sells its items through people who share photos of their furniture on social networks, while the second only lets you pay with Bitcoin in case you combine it with the use of their gift cards.
