Since Bitcoin’s inception 8 years ago many merchants and retailers have warmed up to the currency and use it today. This article will list the 5 best places to spend your Bitcoins.
#5 Dell
Dell started accepting Bitcoin in 2014, it is one of the largest personal computer companies in the US. Dell’s Bitcoin payment option is integrated with Coinbase and it is built right into the checkout page. When you’re ready to make a purchase, add your items to your cart, fill out your shipping details and choose Bitcoin as your payment method. After the order is submitted, you’ll be taken to Coinbase to complete your purchase.
#4 Cheapair
Cheapair is a New York based company founded in 2005. It provides a service similar to Expedia which allows you to book flights and hotels. They first started accepting Bitcoin in 2013 and have never stopped since. Just like with Dell, Cheapair’s bitcoin payment system is integrated straight into their checkout page and is powered by Coinbase.
#3 Overstock
Founded in 1999, Overstock is one of the largest american retailers based out of Utah. It offers a variety of products ranging from home decorations to computer hardware. The checkout process is similar to Cheapair’s and Dell’s and is integrated through Coinbase. When the company first started accepting Bitcoin in September of 2014 it because the first major retailer to accept Bitcoin.
In fact, Overstock’s CEO was so intrigued with Bitcoin that he decided to take it a step further by opening up his company’s stock to be publicly traded on the blockchain. As a result, they also became the first publicly traded company to issue stock over the internet.
#2 Steam
Initially released in 2003, Steam is a digital distribution platform which offers a variety of PC games to more than 89 million gamers. It is considered the largest video game distributor owning roughly 75% of the market. It first started accepting Bitcoin in April of 2016 as they partnered with Bitpay. The checkout process is just the same, you simply select the Bitcoin payment option and Bitpays API will take care of the rest.
One potential reason that Steam partnered with Bitpay rather than Coinbase is because Steam has a higher focus on international users while the companies above focus on the domestic market. While Coinbase might be one of the more compliant companies in the US, Bitpay has a smoother integration overseas.
#1 eGifter
eGifter is a New York based company founded in 2011, the youngest company on this list. The reason it ranks so high is because it opens up an opportunity to spend Bitcoin and dozen more places. eGifter provides a gift-card buying and sending solutions to users and businesses. You can purchase a gift card for yourself, for a friend, or you can even start a group gift.
The best part is that eGifter accepts Bitcoin! Some of the stores that you can purchase gift cards for include: Amazon, Target, eBay, Adidas, Dominos, and much much more.

Regrettably, eGifter now only accept transfers from Coinbase. It’s thus not a true ‘Bitcoin’ accepting company any longer.
And one of the smallest company in the world to accept Bitcoins and a couple other cryptos is Auberge du Soleil in Kampot, south Cambodia, with even 12% discount on btc settlements this March as the month started with a $1’200 quotation with a hope it gets back to it by the end of the month.
Be welcomed in one of the best swiss-french restaurant and hotel, located in a beautifull colonial house. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e21355db619dfca92e871da76c3c0d9ee3fad27a9f8e5036b6c38c50d888606.png

That Business Trainer, LLC was/is the first sales training company in the world to accept Bitcoin, and may be accepting ETH shortly.
The last time I checked eGifter would not allow purchasing Ebay gift cards with BTC,
