Where can you spend bitcoin in Australia? Discover how to use bitcoin in the real world with these crypto-friendly stores, retailers, locations and companies.
While bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tend to be speculative investments that people hold, buy and sell to build a diversified portfolio, it's also becoming increasingly possible to spend bitcoin on everyday things.
- Convert your coins to cash via ATMs (and kiosks). See our map above and the searchable list at the end of this article. As a reference, BitRocket is one cryptocurrency ATM operator in Australia. Its rates are "based off Australian prices such as BTCMarkets.net and IndependentReserve.com -- with roughly 5.5% on top for convenience. It changes every minute, with the market. Look at the screen when you visit for the exact number. The rate on the screen includes any and all fees, nothing hidden."
- Bitcoin debit cards make it easier to spend your bitcoin like any other currency. They usually run on existing card networks like EFTPOS, Visa or Mastercard and are accepted in the same places.
- Some major online retailers like Microsoftsupport bitcoin. Just look for an "accepted here" logo alongside usual suspects like PayPal, Visa and Mastercard. Microsoft uses payment service provider BitPay, which is also supported by e-commerce platforms like Shopify that power smaller retailers, along with other bitcoin payment gateways such as Coinbase and GoCoin.
- Living Room Of Satoshi enables you to pay Australian bills using bitcoin (and a variety of altcoins). Elsewhere, Welto also promises bill payments via bitcoin within the Coinbase platform.
- If you're an Amazon fan, and you don't want to go down the crypto debit card route, then services like Purse.io could be an option. The service claims it can help you save up to 15% on your Amazon order using bitcoin. We recommend doing some background readingfirst to fully understand how it works.
- There are also emerging online marketplaces like Cryptopia, OpenBazaar, bitify and the BitMarket subreddit. Even eBay has been widely reported as "seriously considering" cryptocurrency support while eBay-owned Gumtree added peer-to-peer PayPal payments in 2017 (but not yet bitcoin). Craigslist also quietly added the ability to trade items for cryptocurrency.
- Aussie start-up CanYa is an online marketplace for services powered by blockchain. Those looking to book someone in the gig economy, such as a plumber or graphic designer, can search, book and pay someone through the platform.
- A range of established forex exchanges and brand new platforms are also embracing cryptocurrency trading. Then there's bitcoin futures trading.
