Now that you own Bitcoin, you may wonder what you can purchase or pay for with it. Here are four options for spending Bitcoin:
Option 1 – Bitcoin debit cards
Sign up for a bitcoin debit card service which enables you to spend your bitcoin anywhere that Visa or Mastercard is accepted. The two forms of cards are physical plastic cards that are shipped to you by the card issuer and a virtual card that is stored in a mobile app. Either you will be able to fill up your card with dollars or local currency by sending bitcoin to the debit card company or the debit card company will operate a bitcoin wallet for you, which will be used to fund debit card purchases.
