It would be much lesser in value. When I purchased my smartphone the price of bitcoin was 1000$ and so if I did not purchased my smartphones I would have lost 300$ at this point of time. But btc is now moving up and I am waiting for it to increase more and hope it will go back to 1000$ so my earned bitcoins at this moment will have more interest.

Well probably a lot already,i just thought if i knew bitcoin first before smartphones are on the market.i would rather have my btc than a smartphones.Smartphone consume money while on bitcoins you earned money,then that's the difference between the two,maybe i earned more than what the price i have spend on my smartphone.

Though it was not my first smartphone, because my first isn't listed there. But this Nokia phone was about my 5th or 6th phone, the site shows if I had bought bitcoin instead, it would probably be worth $7,118,792 now.
So I could have been billionaire in my country with that amount... O I wish!

Aw. That hurts. Nice site, but I would have been better off not knowing. D*mnit. 
My first phone ever, I bought a Nokia around 2008-2009 and the site says I'd have had $7,131,053 now.
7 million. Urgh.
Anyway, I know that even if I hadn't bought that phone, I never would have bought Bitcoin. The most that I could have put in bitcoin at that time was around $100.

The price of bitcoins that I used to buy a smartphone in the early 2015 might be doubled now. If I could only have saved it instead of spending it maybe i can be able to buy laptop now for my online need. The price of bitcoin now is nearing $800 with a possibility of reaching the $1000 mark early next year.

Nice thread.
This show to us the difference between an consumist and an investor.
Next time that you will go buy something, you can think in this example and buy bitcoin instead of the product that you want.

I took my smart phone recently, but by the year 2008 one of my friend bought a mobile phone at a rate of around $400. During those days if he had spend the same amount on bitcoin now he could have been a billionaire without doubt, but now he's just on a normal day dream.

It's about $ 150 and yeah it's kindda cheap especially when it made from China called xiaomi
But nothing can enjoy me very much seeing bitcoin value getting higher and constant

Can you imagine, if you bought Bitcoin instead of ALL the phones you have bought? I had a ton of phones starting with a Nokia 3210 which
was launched in 1999.. but I only bought it in late 2000. Someone should create a site like this, where you can add all the phones you bought
after 2009 and then we see what crazy numbers we will hit then.

What happened to me was actually the vice versa of your statement. I recently just bought my new smart phone for $200 and all of that $200 was basically all from my bitcoin earnings.
Lets no go back to the topic probably if i did not bought phone so i proably has $200 worth of bitcoin as of yesterday

I can't find my old smartphone that still working, but I don't use anymore. My old phone is a HTC One. Also, I can't find my actual phone LG G4 on the website to have a comparison on the actual price in bitcoin.

I think I have my smartphone around 2013, and BTC was @15 dollar. I bought it at aroung 120$, If i bought bitcoin that time maybe I have 8 BTC or roughly 6 BTC 
Its ok there is no exchanges on my country at the time

Heart breaking. I just realized i dont need to buy new phone now. Thou im about to buy for bitcoin purposes will still not to do due to this.i will still this phone as long as its working good in bitcoining. Will just invest or stock the money in my wallet knowing its value will definitely getting bigger soon.

Only if I can turn back the hands of time I would and also if I had been exposed to Bitcoin then, probably I would have taken a different decision then, My first real phone was in 2009 and at time was valued at an equivalent of $100. Only if I had known and put that in Bitcoin maybe I would have been rich now. I wont check out the website. There is no need to add to the sorrow already...

It's a neat idea but I think Sony phones are missing from the list so I had to cross-check with similarly priced phones from the included manufacturers and it seems I have missed on around $6,804,947 USD But I have spent much more money on the pre-Windows Nokia phones and I guess if I had invested that money in Bitcoin instead I would have probably had more than $100k today

A better amount yes. But we have our different reason here. What if I say I enhanced my knowledge in bitcoin thanks to my smartphone. Then I did a better choice right?
November 23, 2016, 09:21:56 AM
Oh damn...
$62,089 USD (9810)
Well, am not that much sad for this coz I used my Blackberry for more than that price...

Clever site will make a lot of people cry with tool,but who would have told that Bitcoin value will skyrocket,even the best financial analysis could have not predict this to happen it's just luck on hose people who bought a lot of bitcoin then..

Even though such sites give us some humorous insights, it always gives pain for not doing such things like investing in bitcoin. I am an optimistic so I always find some positive thing and I think we are yet in initial stage of bitcoin and hence we are going to get most of the benefits in the long run but the only condition is that, we should keep going.
