What's the most BTC you've ever spent on something? Must be a consumer product or service, etc.
What was the date and price of BTC at the time?

I remember I bought electronics items mostly from the BTC that I cashed out.
In 2017 or 18, I made a gaming pc for around 2000$ USD, and I remembered that was the most expensive thing that I bought by selling my BTC, I guess, I sold around 0.3-0.4 BTC to get that amount.
Now also every week I cash out some BTC to pay me internet bills.
So yes you can conclude that most of the BTCs I cash out are spent on digital goods and electronics, and for that I am really greatful to Bitcoins.
0.18 BTC I sold to buy a motorbike on May 8, 2019 for my wife. The price of BTC at that time was $5,982.46.
The Honda-branded motorcycle was my first purchase using the money from the sale of BTC and as my evidence in convincing my wife that BTC was more than gold.

I am a very extravagant person and not very frugal in using the money I get from anywhere including the money I get from the crypto space. Because in the past I preferred to hunt altcoins than Bitcoin even though I know that Bitcoin is always better than all the existing altcoins, so I don't have much Bitcoin in the past, except only by buying it on the DCA market and in mid-December in 2020 I spent 0.07 BTC for one unit of a small motorbike when the Bitcoin price at that time was still in the range of $20K, then in the middle of the following year when the Bitcoin price had started to drop to $35K from the highest price in April, I also spent 0.06 BTC for one more automatic motor unit with a larger CC than the previous motor. In addition, I only bought one unit of the new Oppo Reno6 5G smartphone from the altcoin I've been hunting for a few months.
not much only 200$-300$ in btc for 40k$ yesterday I bought kitchen equipment my wife who wants to open a snack business

Back in 2016 and the beginning of 2017 I was trading a lot with CSGO skins, I bought and sold knifes with prices from 50-250$. During the time the average bitcoin price was 10,000 USD and I always converted my winnings back to fiat money. It was my biggest investing mistake not to keep some coins and save them long term. I am trying to not look to closely at that time and don't want to calculate how much money I missed out on if I had saved the coins until the ATH. We can't always make the right decision, the best thing is to learn from the mistakes and don't repeat them. My biggest purchase from bitcoins was a new bicycle that I bought for 850 Euros with 0.1 btc. Today I would get 2 bicycles for that.
I am not sure if gift cards are in this category or not but I did purchase two Amazon gift cards by exchanging my bitcoins at the rate of 21k USD this year itself. I did the purchase on the spot so lost nothing. I mean I converted the recently acquired bitcoins which were bought at the price close to 21k. I bought two cards of $50 each for my friends birthday and one for myself. I bought one more for myself because there was promo going on and saved up around 5 bucks as new comer.
Besides this, no never bought anything physical.

I don't spend much BTC on anything as I usually prefer to sell each coin to collect some stablecoins that I will trade with. But in the last year I've spent 0.2 BTC on a business that I love and it's been my dream for a long time. I placed a sell order at $50K at the time and it all sold out so I used the money to open a computer maintenance business where I live now. Although there was a bit of regret when I sold all the BTC last year because after I sold, Bitcoin still didn't stop rising to $65K.
At first I didn't have the heart to sell half BTC, but because the house to live in needed to be built, I chose to sell some BTC.
In this year, I have spent 0.5 BTC to build a house and the new construction is running 50%. The price of BTC when I sold it was $30K. That means, I've used $15k.
I have temporarily stopped construction and will continue next year. I plan to build another 50% without selling BTC.

Gift cards. A lot of gift cards. I think I have spent more than thousands on buying gift cards. I am surprised to see lot of people not spending much of their Bitcoin. Are you guys only holding and selling your bitcoin for fiat and profit?
Also surprised no one mentioned that they spent a lot in gambling. Gambling falls in services, right?

Not gonna deny gambling, probably 25% of the coins I earn go to gambling, I don't lose a lot though I don't count the wins and losses since I'm just enjoying it, mostly wins I think.
But I have also renewed my domains using BTC. It's quite common now that hosts and domain registrars are accepting BTC. Even the new unknown hosting companies today accept BTC. It is the local stores that should also adopt and by that time, we'd probably be surprised what sort of things people buy using BTC.

Since the history of bitcoin, some people may have used up like 5 Bitcoin for buying of something they want but the record can't be kept in a rightful position. Because i can't remember things i bought with bitcoin but i know that i have used bitcoin for something but those things i used bitcoin to get the documents is not properly kept. Because i don't keep those documents together. Like wise other person's. I believe that people that can accounts what they use bitcoin for is people who have transacted with so many bitcoin.
I was sell my 2 btc price of $800 for each bitcoin and i was build a Pc with that money. Little did I know then that the price of Bitcoin could cross $60k. If I had not spent those bitcoins then I could have make a big pc showroom with those 2 bitcoins. But unfortunately I got only 1 pc then.
We almost have the same regret, I bought a laptop using BTC before it strike a good price during the last ATH. I was devastated but on the other side, still grateful because I was able to purchase something through Bitcoin. At least, you still have your PC which is helpful for you to trade or monitor things about cryptocurrencies. That's still a good investment that you could use for a long time.
I was able to spend $500 worth of Bitcoin last January because I decided to purchase a mobile phone as a gift to my daughter from a local online shop in our country that accepts Bitcoin. That was the first and last time that I sold my Bitcoin to purchase something because I prefer holding it and accumulating more as a long-term investment. I will just purchase more items once I gain a good profit from them in the future.

I don't keep records of it because if I need money and have to convert my bitcoins to fiat, I just send it straight to my bank account and then use it to buy consumer products or services. I often do that when I don't have money to buy daily necessities or food. I also don't see the bitcoin date and price but I guess at least I sold my bitcoin at the time the price got a green candle and it's still a good price to sell bitcoin.
Likewise, I do not do this often, every time I need to do some shopping and in case I don't have fiat money or in my bank account, I am in the habit of converting crypto assets to fiat for payment, rather than looking for other payment options. This saves me unnecessary trouble. I also prefer anonymity when it comes to holding bitcoins or other crypto assets.But I don't know whether using bitcoin to buy refill cards and buying diamonds for online games from third parties is included in this case or not because I used to use bitcoin to buy them.
Way back 2018 I bought a laptop acer nitro, repaired our house on 2019, the same year I bought also a billiard/pool table or whatever you call it for a small business on our area, so far it still up and still making even small profits up today, and a second hand motorcycle for daily use. I'm still using these stuff so it's worth buying them. Actually I bought lots of stuffs, but these are the most expensive.
Those are from bitcoin earnings btw although it was converted to fiat first before buying those stuff.

Now this is something interesting. I never hold that much amount of Bitcoin for too long and that is going to be a lot already if converted here in my own local currency. I cannot imagine how much you would get more if it was a 1 Bitcoin. It is simple yet a fulfilling dream.Wishing you more luck there, G_Besar!

Last year, I was able to save at least $2,000 worth of BTCs via participation on campaign signatures. Since that value is really significant given that I currently live in a third-world country, I was able to purchase my father a second-hand car which enabled him to make his deliveries more efficient and faster. I absolutely have no regrets with my decision since helping my father support a family 5 somehow also helps my situation with my brothers.
For my personal expenditures, I was able to purchase this Seiko Watch for around $300. I used some of my proceeds to purchased this "luxury" and I am currently saving to purchase a laptop for my brothers for the meantime.
My experience and story for the first time making transactions using bitcoin here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5401052
and at the time, if I'm not mistaken, the price of bitcoin was still around $20+, and that was a completely accidental and unexpected occurrence.
