Bitcoin carries with it plenty of intrigue for those who have never looked into the cryptocurrency before, but there’s no denying the fact that the innovative payment network is pushing further and further into the mainstream compared to five years ago. Much of this emergence into popular awareness comes down to the fact that Bitcoin can now be used across multiple sectors and multiple industries, to buy a drink in some pubs in London in the UK, to buying a pint of milk in Walmart across the US (more on that later).
Here are three exciting ways you can spend bitcoins in 2017 on yourself, your family or your business.
Go To Vegas Virtually
Why not enjoy your Bitcoin by earning more of them? If you’ve always fancied the thought of heading to Las Vegas, you could use Bitcoin to pay the City of Lights a virtual visit by playing online live dealer casino games, which take you scintillatingly close to the action, or you could stick to some of the other “pick up and play” gaming options available online and on mobile.
A number of operators have decided to only accept payment through Bitcoin but also allow users to mine bitcoins through their own Bitcoin Faucet. What’s more, these same online operators tend to offer a wealth of unique bonuses related to the Bitcoin currency, which is a great way of earning more Bitcoin whilst having plenty of fun along the way.
The currency often also usually has relatively low betting limits associated with it, which is why bitcoin casino slots are amazing to play as you can start the fun quickly with only a small financial outlay.
Come Fly With Me…
If you do win big, why not use your newly accrued Bitcoin supply to escape to a far-flung destination on a private jet? Websites like privatefly.com allow anyone to book private travel, ranging from exclusive two-seater planes that get you from A to B in luxury, to glamour trips to the likes of New York or Las Vegas, to tropical getaways on aircraft as large as a Boeing 747! All of this can be paid for quickly and securely using Bitcoin.
Booking private jet hire not only offers you and your guests (if you choose to invite other people, of course!) the ultimate luxury travel solution, but from a business perspective, this option allows for real flexibility andreliability, two buzz words that seem to crop up time and again in relation to digital businesses that accept and promote the Bitcoin currency. In a world of airline strikes, private jet hire means that you aren’t reliant on an airline to get you to that important meeting or to get your clients to where you need them to be quickly.
Treat Your Family With Bitcoin
If you don’t fancy going down the route of jet-set luxury, you can also choose to convert your bitcoins into gift cards that can be used in a range of everyday shops and outlets across the USA.
Rapidly growing sites like eGifter sell gift cards for over 200 companies using Bitcoin. There are no additional fees associated with using Bitcoin to buy the cards, and you can actually earn additional points with eGifter by using this currency choice. The companies signed up to the eGifter scheme include Burger King, Walmart, and Outback Steak House, so your whole family can enjoy your success in mining or trading Bitcoin.
All three of these examples highlight the key features of Bitcoin that have made it emerge to become such a popular currency in 2017: flexibility, diversity, reliability, and above all else, security.
