Disclaimer - this works only for places accepting Bitcoin but with enough digging you will most likely find almost anything this way ;)
In this case i will show how to buy VPN that im using since half a year. VPNs are important - gov, hackers, ISP or any haters will have harder time getting to you if you use them. IMO using VPN is a must this days while surfing net.
Step 1 - Get SBD
So lets say you made money from posting. STEEM we leave in STEEM POWER to have more influence on the platform, SBD which are pegged to USD we use to buy VPN.
Step 2 - Get to Traceless Site
They are VPN of my chose - they are small company who was verified by man (well as much as can be) to not log anything, you can run everything you want with them (torrents etc), no bandwidth limits and many countries to choose from (everyday you can change IP, or even every hour).
Step 3 - Order and Choose BTC
In this case i choose 12 month package but you can test with smallest for one month.
Step 4 - Get to @blocktrades
Address is http://blocktrades.us
Choose on left SBD on right BTC and in BTC field paste amount you need to pay. Now it will show ho many SBD you have to send.
Step 5 - Send to Blocktrades
Now go to your STEEM account and send SBD to @blocktrades with right memo.
Done deal.
The same steps will work for anything that can be bought with BTC.

Great tutor, but better send BTC to wallet you control first, then pay to merchant.
Small warning: it's not like ShapeShift with exact exchanges.
It's an estimated amount.
You should always put slightly higher than they ask for, as blocktrades is not accurate when exchanging.
Yes, I found this out the hard way. Sending digital currency for the first time over any type of digital exchange, should be sent out in a small amount at first to test out. Just in case the exchanges as you mentioned are inaccurate. Great feedback.
hey love the comments and posts and was just wondering if you dont mind can you folow me please it would be very helpful as a fellow steamian and i will follow back of course if you drop a comment on my recent video, i talk mainly about video games as i am a true gamer.
that follow thing is so annoying, so I have collapsed your post without reading it. please be considerate of others when whoring yourself out
good call i was just going by example
if you Follow & Upvote me, i will Follow & Upvote you...!
But that makes it impractical!
How much more should I pay? what if slightly more was not enough?!
I think blocktrades should find a better solution for this. I am willing to pay a little bit more and get a certain result.
@someguy123 amd @kingscrown, SBD fell by 10 points today so steam went from $1.4 to $1.2 which means your investment is worth 15% less than it was yestarday, i know you can say yes its free money as all it costs is time to write posts and earch money but this:
[poloniex]
worries me i know that you @kingscrown have made ~$600 off just this post and all it cost was time but that it would have been worth just short of $700 yestarday so would you not be better of spending USD or GBP which is currently less volitile?
They can be making some really nice investments on that ca$h, while all along making $ on a clock.
I understand that however my point was if you buy the vpn now, you will pay 15% more than you would of yestarday so if it was 10 Steem yestarday (14$ ish)
you will pay 11.5 Steem i know its not massive but it uses more of your currency that can fluctuate up alot as well as go down
but i understand @moneymathematics
P.S. I've recently moved to Whaleclub for my trading. Whaleclub also gives you demo money to play with, to try it out before you commit any real money. Comment or PM me with any questions. I'd like to get a group of us together possibly to discuss current events in the crypto space :P

This is called spam! You will get yourself flagged this way!
Oh sorry, I didn't realize.
Thanks, I did not know you can make payments this way with blocktrades.
Good to know.
Or you could just use Tor for free.
Not sure how true this is but someone said that when they used the Tor browser while participating in an ICO, they were hacked and lost a lot of Ether. So be wary of using the Tor browser.
That doesn't sound true.
It is, several online wallets were affected by that as well. If i'am not mistaken it was done via "ssl downgrading" which is possible as the tor nodes act as a proxy and the person who controls the proxy can fiddle with your traffic. It is not per se insecure but you definitely need to keep your eyes open.
Thank you @fleuri. That was new and useful info.
very slick...
fascinating

Thank you for this post @kingscrown I am new here on Steemit and this weas very useful since I just got my first $5 in SBD
Thank you so much!
Very Slick!
Not only can you use Steemit via Bitcoin to acquire a VPN, several services now accept GIFT CARDS as payment.
Remember to keep yourself safe and never trust a free VPN service for anonymity purposes.
Be sure to check out Private Internet Access or another similiar provider if you want to use ca$h -> gift card -> VPN service which is also a secure method to increase your internet safety.

Great post as always KINGSCROWN! 100% UPVOTE!
If anyone follows through with buying and VPN and wants a coupon code, you can use my referal link :D https://traceless.me/ref/97c259d4db
This is a helpful comment so I gave you a little boost in hopes to get more recognition! Thanks for sharing :)
I got an account with their service already, is it still possible to go through your link retrospectively. I can only recommend the service of Traceless.
Great tips!
Cool deal!
Awesome!
Does this slow your internet down?are you applying vpn at the router? I use hidemyass, and my internet slows to a crawl, which i find frustrating. @kingscrown, what is your experience with internet speed and Traceless vpn?
dont use them, they have history of sharing logs with gov/police...https://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/09/25/0415213/hidemyasscom-doesnt-hide-logs-from-the-fbi
VPN does slow down a bit but choose country near you to make things better if needed
@kingscrown , look familar?????????
https://steemit.com/steemit/@sameerkumar/guide-how-to-buy-vpn-or-anything-else-directly-with-sbd
I flagged it. I'm pretty sure you aren't double posting as Sameer Kumar lol
wow good find!
What did @cheetah say?
What!? Ok, well that defeats the purpose of anonymity. Thanks! I will pass the message on to friends and family that I got to use it a few years back ...haha. Also, a big thx for the post and response!
King it's a residential IP?
Also eats up my battery but I guess it's worth it.
I get fullspeed with Traceless VPN and I got a 100k DSL connection so it is pretty fast. Not sure how it performs with a Gigabit connection but I can't afford that anyway lol.
You shouldn't use Hidemyass, they are crappy and log connection data, which Traceless also doesn't do.
This is so nice! Thanks for the information
I like your posts you just got a new follower :)
@kingscrown
awwesome and very informative post! I never thought about paying with SBD, now I know how.
please upvote, reply resteem and follow @victorvazco
Every body accept Bitcoin as payment , now a days
STEEM POWER
Good to see more places accepting Bitcoin, never know, Steem may also be accepted as the future currency.
Ahh, I see, Blocktrades can be used directly, excellent.
agreed
I haven't directly had contact with blocktrades , now I'll know what to do
Yeah, it is pretty slick! I tested it out when I forst joined
I use Bittrex normally but did use BlockTrades once which helps.
Your post is very informative and helpful. I always look in the bitcoin section of steemit, but rarely find something that is easy enough to get valuable insight in. Keep up the helpful posts kingscrown!! Upvoted and following you!!
Actually, it is possible to buy services directly with SDB OR STEEM.
I made a post about this here: https://steemit.com/steem/@fiserman/stores-that-accept-steem
(check out the link at the bottom)
I got a bellyRub and this comment has received a 0.43 % upvote from @bellyrub thanks to: @fiserman.
Traceless Site - has IKEv2 support, good to know :)
BTW. Great tutorial!
They have the widest range of protocols I have seen among vpn providers. It was nice to use shadowsocks when I went to china a few weeks ago as it is not blocked by the big firewall heh
Im asking myself if this is
kosher !? will make more
verification to go with it
in the future.
Thanx STeemOn
I like your post, very interesting, give me your advice to me because i want to be the best stemians, thanks for your writing @kingscrown
