# Using Bitcoin for Travel Purchases

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-11-30)

[BitCoin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin) is (arguably) the world's best chance thus far at a virtual currency (although it's very unstable). Even though it's a high risk, it is able to be converted to regular dollars, and some shops and online sites accept payment in Bitcoins.

Is there a way to convert BitCoins to regular currency online, or is there a world-wide travel website that you can use BitCoins to purchase flights, tickets, etc with?
