okay maybe hoarding is not the right word.
How about calling it 'saving'?

YESSSSS. Now if obtaining bitcoins wasn't so cumbersome, sites like this and the bitcoin store would see much higher volume. As an enthusiast, I try to spend BTC whenever I have the opportunity. But in all honesty as the infrastructure for obtaining coins currently stands, it's not worth the hassle of acquiring more to spend. If I made a few coins from arbitrage or tips, sure I would spend them, but when that spare coin wallet is empty, it's back to the plastic in my leather wallet.
As more people generate income in BTC, sites like this will take off. And as sites like this take off, more people will generate income in BTC.

Chicken & the egg... that's why this isn't going to happen over night, but will take some time. However, I think we'll all be happy in the long run!

Definitely a nice site. I'm curious how long this one has been around.
Intuition: People selling goods for BTC = Bullish for BTC.

Once, I wanted to buy a printer from bitcoinstore but shipping to Canada was more expensive than the printer...
I've had good dealings with these guys in Canada: http://wtcr.ca/
Block erupters, in my case, but they carry generic 'puter stuff. Everything there is priced in BTC.
The more stores the better, I think.

They ship only in the US. 
Yeah that's a downer. I said at home "hey I'm gonna buy a jigsaw puzzle with bitcoin no less" and they wouldn't believe me. It was only later that I learned this. I guess now they'll think they were right.
i'll sell you a jigsaw puzzle on bitmit
seriously, i have a shit ton of them. September 13, 2013, 04:56:09 PM
has anybody bought anything from them?
I bought stuff from
http://coinsfortech.com/
http://www.bitcoinstore.com/
both are decent merchants and will ship everywhere (I got both to ship to Turkey). But if you want strictly "amazon stuff" you can buy a gift card from bitmit, and use it on amazon. Sometimes, you can get a 100 Euro card for 80 euros worth of bitcoins. Of course be careful on bitmit.

I like bitcoinstore and have bought more than a few things from them, but they only have electronics (which is fine). Bitcoinshop seems to aim to have a much larger range of items.
Though both sites still have a less than stellar search filter.

+1, long live THE BitcoinStore
September 13, 2013, 04:28:35 PM
Excellent!
What we also need is:
https://www.bitcoinshop.EU
https://www.bitcoinstore.EU
Otherwise shipping and income tax/duty is way to high for us EUers.

WTF with the self-moderated topic ?
Is this an advertisement or what ?
@Mods
I think that self-moderated topics should not be allowed in "Press" section.

In all honesty, I don't know why. I must of somehow managed to click it on accident.
I was thinking you might be another Viceroy.

Some items are notably cheap. But most of electronics and computer parts are more expensive than on Amazon. I'd expect better offers for bitcoin.
