I just go to the supermarket and buy a Bitcoin card, for 20eu, and use it immediately to buy things on the Internet.

Its just there, right next to the iTunes credit, the Amazon credit, the Google Playstore credit, etc. Little cards that I get .. approximately .. 20 minutes of physical time with, before I discard them and just get the order placed.

Its hard to deal with that, usability-wise, but I guess you have to be in an "expanding market", like midde-Europe/close-to-Russia to appreciate how weird it is to just buy Btc at 7/11,Billa, and use it to ship stuff from China.

Edit: i.e. I don't really wanna do it with Euro/$ no more, because Btc. in China is a value proposition...
