If it is illegal in your country to use bitcoins, the shopkeeper may land in trouble when filing for tax. Also, I believe you haven’t got a bill for your purchase. So, all of this is a drawback of cryptocurrencies right now. I wonder when we will be able to do such transactions normally.

I don't think if their is any problem for him and the seller using bitcoin as means of transaction , in many countries where bitcoin is illegal people still used bitcoin to purchase many things with bitcoin, it is something that is common. What is been serious in most countries that bitcoin is illegal, is that banks don't operate with bitcoin. People still have access to bitcoin to buy whatever thing they may want.

Well, the case of this is only a few right now because we can't really count how many countries banned bitcoin, but now I think he has no problem because he bought it from his colleague and not from a store. If Bitcoin was illegal in their country, they couldn't even use it, so they can do it normally. Because you are complaining about bitcoin, I believe it is illegal in your country.

Is this your first purchase with the bitcoin? Buying a depreciating asset with and appreciating one is not a good choice though, to me you made a hasty decision – but than what is money for, you get what you want. Enjoy your new phone and have fun discovering new trends of Bitcoin on it.

Maybe this was his first because the tone of his text looks excited and if this wasn't his first I think he will not bother writing it anymore because people have heard of its story before and he will also got bored of doing the same thing.

Yeah, he was pretty hasty there but he already admitted his mistake when he said that he spent more bitcoins for the phone just because the bitcoins value went down a lot but to me it was still the same. I do not mind spending my bitcoin no matter if what is its value but what important to me is that I can get the thing that I am always dreaming of. It was your inspiration on why you work hard day and night . why limit your self?

I went to buy a phone with my friend today. Going there, Iphone 13 pro max became my favorite phone. And arouses interest in buying. But I did not have enough money to buy that phone in my pocket. I laugh and talk about Bitcoin to the owner of that showroom. I was surprised to that the owner of that showroom want to sell his phone to me for Bitcoin. And I asked him again, "Are you kidding me?"then He immediately gave me a bitcoin wallet to pay him. I paid him bitcoin and bought the Iphone 13 pro max.

Since the price of Bitcoin has come down a lot now, it has become foolish for me to buy the phone with Bitcoin. Because for that I have to spend more bitcoin. But still I am very happy to be able to do it. Because in my country Bitcoin is still declared as an illegal currency. Nevertheless, I got this advantage

well, I think, nowadays people are aware of bitcoin. in fact, without our knowledge, even the people around us are also using bitcoin without us knowing it. Yes, that's a real example. anyway, congrats for using bitcoin as your transaction tool to buy an iphone 13. anyway i think it gives a pretty good feel. well, I just hope bitcoin can be an alternative payment in public places. it might make it easier for us to transact when we don't have enough money, and have crypto assets.

You may have spent more in terms of bitcoin, but you were still able to utilize your coins as is and had the perfect opportunity to do so. Personally, I wouldn't have done what you did as I am skimping on spending my bitcoin, and I perfectly understand how you feel when you realize that bitcoin went down before you purchase, and immediately went back up once the purchase was complete.

You being able to buy the latest phone model using bitcoins in a country where it is illegal goes to show how individual citizens can still have the power to choose how they can be paid for their goods/items/services.

Well, you earned it hard so you have to give yourself a reward though. But i think OP really needs a new phone badly and good thing the store owner accepts bitcoin as payment even if its illegal in their country. That only proves that even if bitcoin is banned or considered illegal, the freedom to use is still there as long as there is a mutual agreement on part of the buyer and seller. I think bitcoin can be even more useful if the government starts to legalize bitcoin as a currency. Also, bitcoin transactions are more useful when it comes to international transfers too.

I got the point, this is an interesting experience. It is not only about the amount that should be paid in BTC when the price was down. But, the chance to buy the phone with BTC itself makes it interesting. Moreover, the owner accepts it without any rejection. Does it mean that many more people actually know about Bitcoin and they are also willing to accept Bitcoin as one of their payment methods even they don't announce it publically?
Because of some reasons such as illegal law related to Bitcoin as a currency.

In fact, even Bitcoin and crypto is illegal in some country, ti doesn't mean that all citizens in the country will not relate to the crypto industyr. I also know that Bitcoin is still illegal some years ago in my country, but, there have been so many people who live based on crypto, use crypto for earning money and also the currency for payement. And many more activities related to crypto. Until the law of crypto is legal as a commodity in my country.
SO, his experience is actually very interesting to be done in that kind of law. Grin

It is not bad, at least you were able to buy something you like using Bitcoin. As long as you still have the money you can still invest back into Bitcoin before the price starts to go up again, so it’s not too late, because the opportunity is still there for you to buy back. I also do the same thing, and quite a few times I have been able to use Bitcoin to spend on things on like and also use it to make payments to people.

I don’t regret doing it, it’s part of the reasons why I decided to make use of bitcoin, because I would like to do things like this and have no limit. After doing it I also invest back again into Bitcoin. So it’s not bad, the opportunity is still there.

Spending bitcoin will never be a loss as long as you used it for your own good. And it would be unlikely if we will just be holding bitcoin for the rest of our lives, we should use it more often as a currency because that will help to promote wider adoption in the future. Hopefully, i can also make use of bitcoin to pay in my own country, but for now i am still earning more bitcoin while the market is still giving us opportunity to buy.

As long it would be on purpose then it would really be worth rather than losing those coins in scams or hack then it would be much better if you do have used it on other way even though some people

would say that it is such a waste on using that then it wouldnt matter as long it makes you happy which is something that cant be bought by money.We do have our own needs and wants so live

up with it and if you do see that spending those coins for an Iphone makes you happy then it is just the right call.

It is good to see other people who know and support bitcoin when they can accept it as payment although only from p2p transaction. In my country bitcoin still can't be used as payment and maybe if we talk about bitcoin, other people either listened or not they wouldn't care and something like OP experienced rarely to happen

OP was lucky to meet a showroom owner who knows Bitcoin and wants to accept it as a payment. Not all showroom owners are interested to Bitcoin, especially who wants to allow it as a payment tool. You cannot compare the situation in your country, if you do the same way, you probably get nothing. In my country, Bitcoin is also allowed for a digital asset only. People are worried if they use it as a payment tool because it is illegal.

If you talk you'll get to know about more people who are already into cryptocurrency and bitcoin usage on different needs. I personally experienced it in my friends marriage. Friend of friend came for the marriage and were partying. At some point everyone are in a state of taking rest. By the time I got introduced to a person and on conversation he started to talk about bitcoin and altcoins. Suddenly he unlocked the mobile phone and showed me his portfolio which is really surprising, and his holdings were almost $7000 worth. In my country to see such an investment into cryptocurrency from a common man is really rare. So, if we keep conversation about cryptocurrency we'll find more people being aware and using it.

What matters to you most is securing the iPhone 13 Pro at that moment which you have successfully done, whether btc price is down or later will be up should not matter much to you now, but I don't think I will spend my hard earned btc buying iPhone (different stroke for different folks), not just yet, perhaps when btc gets to a certain price level maybe.
Congrats on your first-ever btc purchase (which I believe it is) hope the device gives you the satisfaction and worth every sat.

Anyhow this gives OP the satisfaction of owning an iPhone 13 pro max. With time the mobile phone market used to decline. When it comes to bitcoin it also declines, but assure with the growth. An iPhone 13 pro max costs around $2000 in my country. Within few months or in an years time it'll be selling at $1000 (not exactly). If he have kept hold of the same for an year he might've got an amount to buy an upcoming iPhone.

Op itself have realised that he had done wrong making use of bitcoin at the wrong time. Anyhow it is always good to enjoy at the present than waiting for tomorrow, because we don't know what happens by tomorrow.

Dont think its foolish because you get something for spending your Bitcoin and you're happy with what you did so thats what matter. Anyway I also have a business its cellphone repair and accessories, im also accepting Bitcoin as payment. So somehow I have a contribution for people to know the existence of Bitcoin.

It is true that spending whether bitcoin or fiat as long you do get on what you do like or want then this is what matter most.Yes, its a good experience that you had able to get that directly on paying bitcoin even though some people would see this as a waste of coin to be used on this way but its your money after all then you do have the full rights on what you should gonna do.
