Bitcoin has been all the rage the past few months (okay, few YEARS). As the market value of this token expands beyond what anyone could have predicted, an interesting thing is happening: people are forgetting you can actually spend it.
Bitcoin, like all of the other cryptocurrency tokens out there, represents a huge investment opportunity, but first and foremost, was created as a currency — not an investment.
But how do you actually spend Bitcoin? Who accepts this cryptocurrency? What can you actually buy with it.
The answer? More than you think.
So what’s the deal? Why don’t we see a Bitcoin logo in the dropdown list of payment options when we go to check out at online stores?
Here’s the catch: you can spend Bitcoin online (and really, pretty much anywhere), but you can’t just go using your wallet and spending it directly on most ecommerce sites.
There are some leading-edge companies out there, who are opening their arms wide to the burgeoning boom of cryptocurrency, and accepting major tokens directly. Sites like Dell.com, Overstock.com, Newegg.com, and even CheapAir.com have been accepting Bitcoin as a payment for a while now.
With a lot of mainstream retailers reluctant to catch on though, it’s a fair question — how can you use Bitcoin to pay for anything that really matters? Groceries through Amazon Prime? A new pair of shoes for your kid?
That’s where eGifter comes in — an easy to use platform that allows you to swap Bitcoin (and soon, other tokens too) for gift cards you can use at major retailers, for things you actually need.
(Not that you don’t need a new laptop.)
eGifter has been hanging out with Bitcoin since the very beginning. With over 250 gift cards to choose from, you can exchange Bitcoin for just about anything using eGifter.
Here’s how you can exchange Bitcoin for gift cards that you can use at any of your favorite stores:
eGifter makes it simple to transfer Bitcoin into currency you can use at an amazing number of retailers. Still not sure if it makes sense for you to try? eGifter has a rewards program where you will earn points for almost every dollar (or Bitcoin) you spend. When you rack up enough points, cash out and use them to buy ALL THE THINGS.
See for yourself — these are just a FEW of the big brands eGifter sells gift cards to, ranging in value from $5 to $2,000.
For a lot of people, the knowledge that there are even other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin is fresh news. The reality is that new tokens are emerging every month, each with their own perks — Bitcoin is only the tip of the iceberg.
As cryptocurrency continues to grow, a new economy is beginning to bloom that goes well beyond the investment highs and lows of these tokens. No longer a concept for just the tech savvy, eGifter is making it easy for people who are intimidated by the jargon to get out there and participate in the new digital economy.
Stay tuned — eGifter started with Bitcoin, but in the near future will be accepting other tokens so that more people can swap their favorite cryptocurrency for gift cards, and use them to buy things they really need.
And that people, is precisely what makes this intangible digital currency real money. Get yours in hand now — shop eGifter’s vast selection of gift cards.
What can you really buy with bitcoin?
Skeptics have been asking bitcoin users this question since Bitcoin’s start in 2009. Well, the answer now is pretty much anything.
How? Enter the online gift card marketplace, a powerful gateway for bitcoin’s use in e-commerce transactions. These marketplaces broker the buying and selling of digital gift card codes redeemable at major brands, often at sizable discounts.
The gift card industry is already familiar with digital transactions as well as the high cost of credit card fraud. It’s no surprise that gift card marketplaces have been some of the first large e-commerce businesses to begin accepting bitcoin payments, which carry no card fraud or chargeback costs for sellers.
eGifter is one of these early adopters. A major player in the world of gift card marketplaces, eGifter was one of the first to begin accepting bitcoin back in 2014. The company’s leadership have been big believers in bitcoin’s potential to transform payments. Here’s why they took the initial leap:
“The low margins and fraud challenges in our business had us looking to add more affordable and secure payment options. Bitcoin was a great addition as it both reduced transaction costs, and delivered sales free of the type of fraud we see in credit card sales” – Tyler Roye, CEO of eGifter.
