Bitcoin was launched in 2009 as a curious experiment; by 2017, it has become unbelievably common and real. Today, you can buy thousands of various goods and services for Bitcoin, not just online, but even in a small town somewhere in the west. In this small article, we have picked the 16 most surprising and useful things that you can buy with Bitcoin.
You may expect some of those things and services to be available to you, but some will definitely surprise you, if not shock. Nevertheless, everything on this list has been tested and confirmed to sell for Bitcoin. The price, though, may vary.
- Firearms
In Texas, you can buy pistols and guns, paying Bitcoin, thanks to Central Texas Gun Works. This company accepts Bitcoin for their ammunition and arms since 2014, and some other companies have followed. You can pay online on in-store in Austin, Texas.
- Funerals
Crescent Tide Funeral & Cremation is among the pioneers of organizing burials for Bitcoin. Caskets, memorials, cremation and other things you may need unexpectedly are available for online purchase with Bitcoins (with a discount!).
- Beer
There is no surprise that the best guys, the bartenders, have started accepting Bitcoins early in 2013. Australian bar Old Fitzroy is the first place where you have become able to pay Bitcoins for beer. By the way, the beer has become much cheaper now…
- Las Vegas

- Dog Treats
BitDazzle offers a good supply of dog treats sold for Bitcoin. Looking tasty, isn’t it? You can have it for just a small share of a Bitcoin, but how much happiness it brings! Do not even think about eating the sweet-potato jerkies from Happy Tail Barkery yourself — these are for your dog!
