And since I'm still a little minnow here, I could only afford to pay for my <strong>monthly internet bills</strong> using Steem. (Steem really helped me save some money) XD</p>\n<p>As for direct purchases, again via Coins.ph I was able to subscribe to <strong>DOTA2 Plus</strong>, a video game. Fortunately they allow the conversion of BTC to Game Credits like Steam. I've also just recently bought an <strong>external hard drive</strong> for myself since my other one is almost full. </p>\n<p>I still prefer using Blocktrades to convert my Steem to Btc then to fiat money most of the time though as I think that is more secure. I know there are now some online shops that \"claims\" to accept cryptocurriencies but I am still a little bit skeptical. Better use the proven safe way I guess.
