Can I buy something with Bitcoin?

According to Investopedia, yes you can, on the sole condition that you use fiat cards to buy them…

Doesn’t this make the whole point of using cryptocurrency futile? If it’s just a wrap-around for fiat still…

I think that the options really do existed, but we don’t get to see them because they aren’t promoted yet. The largest magazines, blogs or journal get paid to sell you the idea that you still need fiat to complete a crypto purchase online, but you don’t.

The options really do exist outside, and you could still be using crypto purely as crypto, without bridges, shortcuts or whatever.

There are many sites that accept BTC payments directly and there are many projects like Exeno that promote the idea that you could still be using crypto as crypto, and make your cryptos real, by using them to buy real things in real time.

I dislike how the narrative is shaped to say, yes you can use crypto to buy things, and you just have to go through fiat first. God knows what they’ll suggest next after e-commerce is fully integrated with crypto.
