Yeah, that's for sure. I'm looking at a wrist watch to buy soon on a site that accepts BTC. I hope they are not scammers.
Ever made purchases with crypto coins?

How did you get to know about the website? That should tell you if they are scammers or not.
I'm still looking into it. I will find out soon enough.

You've got to be careful about such moves though.

I've saved a few coins here and there. I've bought and paid for some items online with cryptocurrency. I paid for my forex trading firm training program with LTC.

Cash is still king in our world as of now. Cryptocurrency is very risky and if it's still an uncharted water for you, it's best to steer clear of it.
Thank you for the advice! Do you like using Crypto? I know there's many different kinds out there.

Yes, I use cryptocurrency once in a while whenever it's useful. Most times, when I need to bypass the high fees of PayPal from being paid on jobs, if my client can send cryptocurrency, I'll go for it.
So there's no fees by using cryptocurrency? I can then see the appeal to it. Saving some extra money.

Yes, the fees are like nothing. If a client sent me $100 in Litecoin, I'll not be charged up to $2 on fees. If it's PayPal, that would be more than $10 if it's not sent as family and friends.
As much as I have accepted crypto such as Bitcoin in the past for services and work I have completed, I can't say that I have ever used the crypto service to pay for goods.
I have always either left the crypto I have in my account or I pull it to my bank and make purchases that way.

Looks like the coin is off to a rough start for the year.

Bitcoin have been pumping since December. If it keeps up with this momentum, it may reach its last all time high.
That can add up quite fast. I didn't realize there was such a difference. Maybe that's why more & more ARE going to Crypto for Services.

Yes, it's why most people would be willing to use cryptocurrency for receiving their payments online. The gap in the charges is so big.
This was $94 sent me on PayPal late last year, I was charged $4.90
