What was the best/most interesting thing you bought with Bitcoin, when, where you bought it and how many Bitcoins it did cost? Grin

Directly with Bitcoin? I bought a second hand mobile phone to someone I know who accept Bitcoin as payment. I cant remember exactly how much Bitcoin it cost that time (early 2017) but the value equivalent to fiat is $80. Until now the phone is still working though depreciated due to the latest phones. But it has a sentimental value for me as one of the things I bought when I started to use and invest on Bitcoin.

Mobile phones nowadays are faster to depreciate though the only use is for Watching movies and Call and text and messenger .

that is why i don't wanna spend my precious coin buying gadgets instead i only use my Fiat in purchasing or even using my credit card whenever there is a need for a New phone .

I didn't buy anything significant but last year I bought a men's watch from overstock for BTC. Overstock supports Bitcoin payment system through Bitcoin Debit Card. It was near around 0.5 BTC ~ $4500 with shipping charge when I purchased it last year. Sometimes I think if I won't purchase at that time and I would have forgotten about the wallet for a couple of months, Tongue

now that amount would have turned into at least 7x profit. Lips sealed

well, I once bought land to build a house, maybe 0.5 bitcoin worth. at that time the price of bitcoin was not so high. however, i spent about 0.5 btc also to build a building on it for rent. So far, it's one of the assets I've bought using bitcoin that is still profitable so far.
I still expect things like this to still happen in the future. I've also bought a used car, unfortunately I also sold the car.

damn, it's actually impressive that you did all that, and I was happy by buying a ps4 and a good pc and renting a house with some friends for some time, it's interesting to what bitcoin made people capable of doing without having to work 8 hours a day under control of a greedy boss.

I don't share that much info about me, but I guess it's a flex to actually share at least what I was able to bought out of the time and money I invested in Bitcoin, with the profit I gained I was actually able to support my family and because of Bitcoin, I don't have to actually ask for any money from my parents anymore considering my age, also, I was able to get myself a gaming PC which I always dreamt of when I was a kid, Bitcoin has brought me so much wonders, that I will always be proud of.

It's an old saying that money can buy you anything but can't buy you happiness. Lol, it's funny, isn't it? I can purchase all the things which can make me happy.
Also, it is pertinent to mention here that my best purchasing is spent on my family and close friends as it always makes me happy to share the happiness. In my opinion, it's the best thing which anyone can ever purchase.

^ Now, we can use BTC as an alternative to money as payment and we are lucky and should be thankful to the BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto that until now we are using BTC in any financial aspect. I bought a lot of things and it also helps on me during a pandemic when I lost my job, I got some extra profit from here and from trading and sometimes gambling, though I manage well the possible risk I did not make a large transaction on it. Fortunately, at this moment, I have a valuable asset that no one knows much I have not like the fiat and I can purchase what I want. I am planning to buy a car with my BTC and hopefully, I can accumulate more this year.

I never bought physical thing with bitcoin yet, because when it started with digital thing, my government already made statement that no more else than fiat (digitalized of physic) can be use as payment. But it really help me, when i need to buy like electricity tokens in midnight while almost all shop already closed, paying something with bitcoin can help me to buy it even in midnight or maybe in early morning.

This same happens in my case because I also never have any physical thing with my bitcoins but still I have some good number of things which help me to do things which was never possible without this bitcoin. First I have my financial independence because before this bitcoin I have to do some good hassle for having few things for my online works but now all happening with in few minutes without any problem it's really great achievement for me from start of my bitcoin journey.

After this all now I can purchase few good things in my regular life which are very helpful because now I have not to go in banks or any other places all coming through my online adventure which is all possible just because of bitcoin.

I almost bought a desert eagle on some darkmarket for like 8 Bitcoins (around 6500 CZK by that time) but I decided not to buy it, because it maybe was scam and if not, then my mom would kill me with it, if she knew that I was big gun fan back then... Cheesy

The first and the last time I tried buying something with Bitcoin, it didn’t work out for me and that ended up discouraging me from trying to buy any other thing with Bitcoin. This was when Xapo was still operating as a cryptocurrency wallet at the time, and I think that was around 2015 or 2014. So, I checked their website and there were quite a few things that you can do with Bitcoin on their website. What really got me interested was that you can purchase airtime from there.

Why this seemed interesting to me was because I couldn’t believe how it was going to be possible for me to purchase airtime from a company that is not in my country, so I decided to give it a try, and at the end of the day it didn’t work out and I never received the airtime. I lost the money so I never tried buying any other thing with Bitcoin, and the only thing I do now is just invest and hold.

The best thing I bought with bitcoin was an Antminer S1 Dual Blade 180 Gh/s from Bitmain. Back in those days, I believe it was 2014 I paid 0.5BTC for it but only waited 4 days to get it. Turned out that I was able to make around 1.2BTC with it. Used it for about a year and a half and still manage to sell it for .25BTC. Nowadays, I don't buy things with Bitcoin, I prefer to hoard.

I don't have a lot of option to buy things with bitcoin because I live in an area where bitcoin or any other form of cryptocurrency is illegal. However, I was able to buy a laptop recently from a local supplier who accepts bitcoin but in private. It was a private deal.

I also once paid nearly $140-$150 in btc to buy gaming stuff when there was discount on them and amazon coupon could be redeemed with exchanging btc but after that not much transactions have been made as many don't accept Bitcoin at this time here also but hope for future adoption to be increased and more people start accepting it.

I was able to build my own house using the profit from my Bitcoin investment last ATH and I'm too grateful for it. I also saved enough to reinvest again and hope to gain a good profit again in the long run. Bitcoin has always been a blessing for most investors. I started last 2017 and so far Bitcoin didn't fail me in my crypto journey.

Good for you. I was supposed to build my own house last ATH but I just decided to time lock my crypto on Binance for 90 days then re-locked again last month since the timing is very bad, Almost 50% down to ATH and I don't want to convert in fiat and missed out this current ATH. I still have 2 months to wait and hopefully Bitcoin will reach new ATH or atleast maintain the current level so that I can have a good profit on both staking and holding.

One of the best thing I've bought with bitcoin is a motorcycle, and it is a gift for myself for my hardwork Cheesy

way back November 2017. I had to sell my bitcoin in exchange for fiat because in my country, that particular shop doesn't accepts bitcoin as a form of payment. So I'll use USD for fiat reference in this case.

It cost me about roughly 1,460 USD (0.0038 btc) that time.

Investors who managed to sell Bitcoin at the end of 2017 can indeed be said to be lucky, because entering 2018 Bitcoin immediately fell very deep.
I'm glad to hear that you can buy a motorcycle from selling your Bitcoins in 2017, which is a very good decision in my opinion. Because most people
when approaching the end of 2017 are getting greedy by continuing to buy Bitcoin, even though the price is already very high. That's why so many
people suffered losses because they panicked seeing the Bitcoin price fall after successfully reaching the ATH price in 2017. Actually, I have bought
a lot of things from the profit I got from investing in Bitcoin, therefore until now I continue to collect as much Bitcoin as possible, because I believe
the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise, so I can continue to buy the things I want through the profit I get from Bitcoin.

I also bought a desert Eagle with my BTC, but that was just a CSGO skin back in the day. Unfortunately guns are not allowed on my country, otherwise I would have bought a real one. I used BTC a lot in 2016 to buy abs sell skins, unfortunately I sold all skins and converted the money back to fiat. My most memorable BTC purchase that I am very happy about was my bicycle. I use it everyday during spring and summer so it is definitely the most used thing I got for my crypto. I paid 0.12 BTC for it back when the BTC price was below 10, 000 USD. I wish I could give my bicycle back now and get the BTC back

today I would have been able to buy new bicycles for the whole family.

Then that would be my Acer Laptop that i am still using now for at least more than 3 years .

Second is my Iphone X that i bought last year , though i don't wanna compute the value in Fiat because for me 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin .

You own the pen

Bought some PC parts and some books from my earnings in my signature campaigns. I have 70+ books now which range from 20$-100$ all bought with bitcoin earnings from signature campaigns. There are also lots of things I bought from an online shopping store where they also accept BTC as payments. I cannot count how many items I bought but there's is only one thing I can say about it, through the years until now, I haven't encountered any problem using it.

More crypto

Yeah, I kinda decided early on that I will not do anything with crypto other than reinvesting it back into crypto. So far so good. But sometimes you need to feel something real under your fingers to understand what all of that investing is for, so I might transform some of those investments into real things. Nothing fancy, I still don't have enough to buy a house XD
