How has the bitcoin exchange rate changed?

In the fall of 2010, one bitcoin on the exchange cost only 10 cents. Then the exchange rate grew steadily and in November 2013 reached $979. And then it began to suddenly fall, and already in the summer of 2015, bitcoin cost a little more than $200. But since then, it has been growing again and is already worth 10 times more.

On May 22, 2010, a guy with the nickname laszlo bought a pizza for ten thousand bitcoins ($25 at the time). It was the first purchase in the world material object for cryptocurrency. Then it cost him $25. Today 10,000 BTC is worth $20 million.

Enthusiasts who five years ago invested another hundred dollars in games with new technology today are provided for several generations to come. Even those who bought bitcoin just a year ago at $473 have already quadrupled their investment.

Where to get bitcoins?

The easiest way to get them is to buy in an online exchanger. For example, on bestchange.ru, bitcoins can be purchased for QIWI, WebMoney, or using VISA or Master Card.

Second way- use a bitcoin machine. You can find them on this map. For example, there is a bitcoin machine in the Baltis Plaza business center in St. Petersburg. With it, you can get a paper receipt for cash with a code to replenish your bitcoin wallet.

Third way- buy from a private seller. Offline places where you can get cryptocurrency for cash are marked on the map.

Fourth way- earn. By personal agreement with the employer or with the help of a freelance exchange bitwage.com. So far, it has only 11,500 users, but payments worth more than $20 million have already passed through it, and the project has been developing steadily for almost three years.

There are sites where you can get cryptocurrency for viewing ads. They are called bitcoin faucets. This is something like a lottery, where a small amount of money can be given out, for example, once every 15 minutes or every thousandth visitor. But this is not a very rational use of your time, the first five methods are more reliable.

  • offline stores;

Now consider what you can buy for bitcoins in different directions.

  • PizzaForCoins - you can order pizza;

The transfer is often done directly from the wallet. It is better to double-check your actions, because no legislative framework in our country, which could allow for a refund in the event of an error.

World practice

To understand what can be paid in the near future in Russia using cryptocurrency, it is worth taking a look at what is currently offered in the West. Surely this trend will become relevant for our country.

There is a considerable list of companies in the world that accept bitcoins:

  • Dell is an electronics manufacturer;
  • PayPal is an international payment system;
  • Amazon, eBay - powerful online stores;
  • AirBaltic is a transport company;
  • Time is a well-known publishing house;
  • Reddit is a social news site;
  • Microsoft is a manufacturer of software and game consoles;
  • WordPress - Developer popular system site management.

The main deterrent to the spread of bitcoin as a means of payment is its volatility. The price changes quickly, which makes it impossible to predict the course. At the same time, in many countries, it is possible to buy goods and services legally with bitcoins, since there is a legislative framework for this.

Separately, it is possible to single out the educational sector. Bitcoins are actively used here as a means of payment:

  • Cambrian University of England;
  • ESMT International Business School in Berlin;
  • King's College of New York.

For 1 bitcoin, you can buy a quality education, say, pay for a semester of study (depending on the level of the university and the current cryptocurrency rate).

How to find out who else accepts bitcoins?

There is a special service - Coinmap. This is a map that every user has access to. Sellers can specify what can be bought in Russia or in another country, and buyers can choose the desired service.

The map shows more than 10 thousand objects where you can use bitcoins bought in Russia or abroad. If you look at the geography of distribution of such companies, then the largest concentration is observed in the United States, Japan and Europe.

Experts report that even if an entrepreneur wants his clients to pay for goods and services with bitcoins, it is difficult to implement such an opportunity, since there is no legal basis. For example, you cannot pay taxes. And even if it is possible to draw up accounting documentation, for sure the regulatory authorities will ask questions.

Therefore, in fact, those companies that use cryptocurrency, in fact, first convert it into rubles. At the same time, some organizations claim that if there is a simplified form of taxation, there are no problems.

So, we figured out what you can buy for bitcoins in Russia and the world, as far as possible, and you make all further decisions, which means you take responsibility. Experts believe that soon Russian legislation in relation to cryptocurrencies will be brought into line with realities, which means that it is likely that in a few months all operations will become completely legal. It remains to wait a little.
