Though it may sound stupid spending your Btc during the dip because you're basically gonna pay more Btc. However, there might an exemption.
If the phone is useful to you, I mean If you can generate an income using the phone you bought then I guess that would be all fine.
I know how it feels transacting using Bitcoin as a payment as I already have experienced it a couple of times but I wasn't paying as expensive as the iPhone 13 pro max lol.

It's really cool to hear stories like this though.

You can buy many of Iphone 13 pro max by selling 1 Bitcoin because it is expensive and its worth is equal to 20+ iphone 13 pro max and it is digital way to buy iphone 13 pro max using BTC as a payment asset.

Lol

it is possible any time to buy I phone and others smartphone with fiat money. here i have to sell my bitcoin to Fiat money. then i have to pay them. But in this case I was able to make a bitcoin payment directly to the shopkeeper. And I paid him 0.029 bitcoin for this phone. Do you understand my post? Or, made the comment without understanding?

Yeah this sounds great to see this transaction go through and probably the store owner understands that he is in a better position than you in this transaction compared to if the price of Bitcoin was at its ATH which would mean you paying with less BTC Sats as you said but overall, it is nice to know more retailers are willing to accept Bitcoin payment even in a country where Bitcoin is not allowed legally.

It was still a good purchase because you paid for it with bitcoin, which is becoming increasingly difficult to find merchants who will accept bitcoin as a payment method. Although you have a valid point that you spent a significant amount of bitcoin to purchase that phone, it is only a charge to experience, so it would be a win-win situation for me. Although the price of Bitcoin is currently falling, it is still a good idea to increase your investment in the cryptocurrency. By the way, congratulations on your new phone; I am hoping to be able to purchase one in the near future.

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

No need to regret the decision you have made even though it looks a little stupid to make payments with bitcoin when the bitcoin price is down, to be honest I personally really want to buy some electronic goods with bitcoin out of curiosity to see the expressions of the sellers when we make payments with bitcoin but unfortunately where I live right now there is no store that dares to accept bitcoin as a payment method.

This sometimes makes me reluctant to use BTC to buy something because it feels unfortunate if the amount spent is greater and the value goes up when the price of BTC goes up.
But congrats, you have spent BTC you have with stuff you love.

I think its known to everyone that its hard to earn bitcoin, unless you are going to buy it with your spare cash. And we are taking risk to earn it because we have our goals. Now, if that is one of the goals of OP to purchase a quality phone that will be his working buddy, then its definitely worth to buy. We don't live just to keep on taking risks and add more on our assets, there will also be a time in our lives where there is a need to spend regardless of the price because you know it will create satisfaction on yourself. And that what is OP is doing now.

Having bitcoin is never a risk, it is a blessing. I have posted here before about the phone he bought, there is nothing wrong about that, but he said that he has cash also to buy phone but the cash was not enough to buy the phone, then he used bitcoin to purchase the phone, there is nothing wrong about that, bitcoin is also a form of payment, but he can also convert the cash into bitcoin which will give him back some bitcoin or he can also work more here and receive some payemt to increase his bitcoin holding.

Why deprive yourself and go through an uncertain time of wait on a rise. I'm sure there is more where that 0.029BTC came from and your sure to be adding more to your portfolio over time. At least, its good to know that there are some people who uses it for its original purpose than, just a store of value or asset. More and more used cases makes it more believable and the merchant has made some real investment on his part that is sure to profit if he or she hodls.

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.

and also Why going to a shop when you have not enough Money to purchase a phone? and also to my surprise , iphone 13 ? lol the most expensive phone now is what you targeting ?

Lol, My target was not to buy i phone 13 pro max. It was my dream to buy it. I went to buy another company's phone like Oneplus. But after going to the showroom. I became interested in buying an iPhone 13. And when the shopkeeper decided to accept Bitcoin, I bought it easily.

Well it is your story and I'm going to believe Grin

Oh, you don't believe it, little brat Cheesy

it is not that I dont believe it lol Grin

I was just curious about Why you end up buying iphone13 when you have no funds on hand to buy it hahaha.

But since you explain it well then I think that is enough reason why you bought an iphone instead of other phones in which practical and worth a buy.

We knew Iphone to be one of the toughest and worth investing gadget so congratulations for your ownership mate.

The end point here is both of them are in a win-win scenario. You satisfied yourself because you had your dream phone already, and the shop owner has own bitcoin unexpectedly. I think in less time, when all merchants are encourage to accept bitcoin, we can witness more of these scenarios. Thanks for sharing OP. This will encourage everyone that bitcoin is not just a pure store of value, but it can be used too as a pure payment system since its definitely bitcoin's main purpose.

Is BItcoin legal to be used as the payment method in your country? If yes, well that's good enough.
But if there is no law about that, it is always only between a buyer and also a seller. And everywhere, as long as they both agree, it doesn't matter, as long as the authorities there don't know about it (if there is a ban). If there is no prohibition, then just go on.

You don't need to sell or spend all the whole 1BTC to buy that IPhone. And Bitcoin as a payment method is also a function of Bitcoin itself if available. So, it doesn't matter to use the BTC for payment. And the user has uttered what happen to his condition, so just be wise on your own ways.
As long as you are okay, why not if this can ease you do something. And if we are going to use BTC for trading or investing only, it also deosn't matter as long as we want.

A good achievement where you can get what you want with Bitcoin even though maybe right now is not the right time to sell it because the price is going down. Although it is said that in his country crypto is still illegal but that doesn't mean that people there don't use crypto, the proof is that the owner knows even understand about crypto and accepts payments with Bitcoin. Bitcoin can buy whatever we want to depend on the needs of each person, so manage it well so that we can also buy goods or achieve the targets we want.

So, the point of your story is you were able to buy things for money? I'm a bit confused. I wonder if this is more a case of the owner getting away with selling an item "off the books" so they can avoid paying tax on the profits and it's unlikely you got any form of receipt to back it up, so you might not be able to go that route if it's even an option in your country. I guess if Bitcoin is considered illegal then there is no hope of taking it back if there was ever a problem with it. Frankly I don't understand why anyone would buy a phone that costs over a $1,000, so maybe you have a lot of money already or you might be a little bit wasteful trying to buy the latest devices with very little extra features.

I'm happy to hear that there are two similar people exchanging goods who both share the same passion. You want an iphone and he the showroom owner happens to want bitcoin. Here the point is that I saw a transaction which in the future transactions like this are commonplace where bitcoins can fulfill someone's desire to have the goods of their dreams.

Use your new phone to earn more Bitcoins, and congratulations to the showroom owner who has achieved his wish to own Bitcoin. Between the two, both you and the showroom owner get what they expect. Regardless of the price that goes up and down, the price of the cellphone you have will eventually go down with the arrival of a new version. Whereas Bitcoin is not, He will remain the same amount of Bitcoin. As for the Bitcoin price going down, it doesn't matter to us because that's the Bitcoin market. The Iphone 13 pro max market is not the same as the Bitcoin market. Or do I really not know the advantages of the IPhone 13 pro max and its rarity?

First, it's great that you did and got your Iphone. Second, it's bad because you and the shop owner have violated your country's government rules by using bitcoin as a means of payment which you can both be punished for if caught doing so.

I wouldn't do it if I were you, it makes sense to avoid it by selling my bitcoin to fiat first and paying the shopkeeper in fiat without informing him of the bitcoin holdings in the wallet. But maybe I will if my country has legalized bitcoin as legal tender. Even though I currently have enough bitcoin to buy some things, but I prefer fiat over bitcoin to pay shop owners not to violate government regulations.

Buying anything needs money so if you are in need of an iPhone then you actually have to give your money to get it and you actually paid via Bitcoin to get it and I guess it is actually an invalid purchase because you mentioned bitcoin is illegal so how will you get the invoice of your purchase?

As long that phone is the thing you ever wanted then it is really worth on spending those bitcoins that you do have because you wouldnt really do such step if you dont
really like it on the first place.As long you dont regret on such decision that you had made then that what surely counts.You could still accumulate coins if you wanted
to.Somehow, spending too much in wants is not a good idea but if you have done this for once then its considerable and since its your money
then no one could stop you on doing on what you do want to do.

Your desire to get an iphone 13 pro max seems to make you forget that bitcoin is currently in decline in price, I personally also have the desire to buy a gaming laptop, but so far I'm still patient not to sell my bitcoins under $45K, but the difference with you, I must first exchange the bitcoins that I have with fiat money on the exchange, because so far my country has prohibited the purchase of goods using bitcoin or other crypto, if I am caught making purchases using bitcoin of course I will get a fine from the government Cry
