With crypto prices where they are now, many aren't rushing to spend their tokens any time soon. At least, not myself. But I still am curious to know what stores accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment. I actually stumbled upon iKing.io from a PTC ad on Cointiply. Full disclosure -- I have never bought anything from this website, nor will I likely be a customer any time in the near future. That being said, they have a wide array of products:
iKing.io was launched in 2018 and offers millions of products and fast, free shipping. It's almost like they are trying to be the Amazon of crypto. The products they sell are definitely appealing to us crypto nerds, judging by the categories. Anyway, they state that their mission is "to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies to buy products in the world, providing a new shopping experience" and "to be the best global platform where everyone can buy products with the crypto they want."
From the looks of it, you can pay with thousands of different cryptos. Here are just a few that are listed on their website:
Naturally, I wanted to find out what others' shopping experiences were using iKing. Not knowing anyone personally who has used the website, I turned to online reviews. They are all generally positive, and I was unable to find a negative review. Obviously, one has to be weary of online reviews as they be disingenuous. But having no personal experience on the website, it's all I have to rely on:
And that's about it. There's not much else available on user experiences. I might have to take the plunge and place an order for a future post.
The one thing I noticed that seemed questionable to me (and maybe it's not) is that the physical address listed on their website pulls up a virtual P.O. Box address store. Seems kind of strange and makes me wonder where they actually operate out of. Or perhaps they are just drop-shippers, or an Amazon affiliate?
