136 sats \ 4 replies \ @SimpleStacker 5h \ on: Market Research Poll bitcoin
I don't think i'd buy daily necessities using sats unless it's from a platform that I trust to deliver it to me speedily and efficiently, and in which I have some reasonable ability to resolve disputes with.
That's why I said in a previous comment that the first order of business for a bitcoin merchant is to build a product/platform that people actually want to use. I think the idea of wanting to build a bitcoin business before focusing on the product itself is putting the cart before the horse.
Ultimately, I voted for "No I like shitcoining gift cards" because that's my practice right now. Most of my bitcoin spending, other than on SN, SNZ, and a few merch items here or there, has been gift card purchases.
I see your point. Let me ask you this. Would you take a chance on a stacker you knew and developed a level of trust with from SN who had access to wholesale merchandise and featured a product or two every week or so? Keep in mind that these would be small purchases if you desired?

I think I would, but it also depends on how low the price (inclusive of shipping) is compared to fiat.
I'd also prefer bulk orders in that case, since I don't want to have to spend too much time managing the logistics of ordering.

yeah shipping is key that matter in this. Will be necessary to have sellers for each region, to lower the costs of delivery.
I will not order 100 TP from a seller delivering from US or China to Italy.
Buying from local stores is the best way. So for all these daily products we have to convince more local small shops to accept bitcoin. In my case was years and years of convincing work until I find 2-3 that can deliver to me anything I need and pay in BTC. So I sporadically buy online, only when I find something better or they cannot deliver in time.

That was my response too when I asked myself this question. As it is we buy many items in bulk.
