You can buy things with Bitcoin, it isn't accepted most places but some people and companies will accept it.

It's a digital currency, that it's not a very user friendly one is irrelevant.

In a way, yes. Less so than postage stamps and far less than Bitcoin

[JohnD]

Do you?

when you use a word that seems not to make sense, I may ask what you mean

[Deleted member 292770]

A voucher is exchanged for goods . sounds like currency.

 

[Dork Lard]

I have some tulip bulbs for sale, if anyone has any hard currency to exchange.

Can you use a Tesco voucher to pay a debt?

Can you spend it anywhere that is not Tesco?

Can you pay it into a bank?

Can you use it to pay a plasterer?

Does it expire and lose all value?
