Back then 2017 during the bull market , The biggest purchased with crypto I have is buying a decent car for myself. I spent around 9k usd for a car, It was my dream car and I'm happy I purchased it using the bitcoins and altcoins I earned. Though It was a financial mistake I did since I can't support the maintenance and most of my assets were drained because of it and the bear market of course. I'm happy I bought that much valuable with crypto I earned also sad that I liquidated my assets just because of that liability. I learned on a hard way and I never repeat that mistake again, Last bull market I only purchased assets that generate me more income.

The most?
Well, I think that it was on this April 2022, this is not the first time, but this is the most I think, and the most memorable cash out for me.
When the price was around $45k. I did cash out of Bitcoin for several needs related to the birth of my second child, especially the birth process through surgery, so it cost quite a lot. At least at that time, I had to cash out around 0.023 and several other amounts several times. I once regretted why I didn't cash out earlier just in case when the Bitcoin price was still quite high. However, it was all over and at that time it really cost money. There are no more regrets, because of this, our child was born safely and we were able to provide for her needs.

How time flies. I remember me first purchase with btc was from a friend then and that was  far back as 2015 when I wanted to show my friend how it works. After onboarding him he was doubting how it works so I asked him if he would reach a deal with me and that I do not mind doing a give away as he is my friend and that it gives me joy proving things to him to clear his doubt and he agreed to the arrangement.  So I asked him if there is anything he wants to sell as at that time and he said yes so he brought out a phone which he has and wanted to dispose it off. So I asked him to send me his wallet address and he did I transferred  the Bitcoin equivalent Base on our agreement. He sold it to me for $170 and an equivalent of that was transferred in Bitcoin to him. That was my first physical barter or purchase if you may like though I have been doing transactions long before then with Bitcoin but this one I did with him seems remarkable and sets the record straight which made me feel a kind of joy internally to have do a physical transaction so one can see as it was his first time.

Early adopters can hold bitcoin until today or last year's ATH. Honestly, very few people can do it, the number can only be counted on the fingers. If you are in the case, you buy bitcoin for $2000 then when bitcoin hits 10k or 20k I believe you sold it too.
As you said, the average bitcoin will be sold when the holder realizes that its price has increased by more than 200% of its purchase price including myself and other users. Some of them agree to hold it especially if they firmly believe bitcoin can do something unbelievable, but that's in the minority.

I don't believe you can hold them until today, because no one can predict how high the bitcoin price can go until that happens. Similar to now if people buy bitcoin for 20k, I believe when bitcoin hits 100k, they will sell and not hold, because no one knows what will happen next. As long as bitcoin has been profitable for us there is no regret.
I also don't believe the majority will hold bitcoins if they hit $100K, but someone out there might be willing to do it and it certainly is.

About the OP's question, I don't directly spend bitcoin on goods or services because bitcoin is not a legal payment system in my country. But for something I do online, it's always possible even if I have to be silent.

I bought a plot of land in 2017 @ $1K value of BTC then when the price of bitcoin reached an ATH of $19K, I took the decision based on the fact that Land is an asset which does not depreciate but rather it fiat value increases with time that was one of the best decision I took which paid off, that property is still available where I hope to build a house on it though it selling price had increased tremendously if wanted to resale, though the price of bitcoin later reached another ATH at $68K in view of that I don't have any regret for boldly withdrawal of bitcoin from wallet to purchase the land.

For now mostly for paying bills, only ever used about 0.5BTC of the earn from trades, 2018 to start a business but it didn't go as planned, so decided to sell the equipment purchased to start the business because there was an emergency that had to be resolved.
The valuable lesson is that saving BTC is more profitable than using it because intend to get more BTC which in reality only makes us lose more

Not all people have purchased Audis and houses lmao. Not all people are rich like that. As I mentioned, I usually pays my internet bill through Bitcoins. And no matter what’s the price of the coin at the moment, I cash out every month to pay these bills. I have spent most BTC at once in 2018, when I wanted to build a gaming PC . I spent around 2000$ USD and at that time it was around 0.5 BTC.

Of course, I didn't mean to refer to everyone here. But definitely there are people living the life with their stash Smiley

From some of the writings I've read, most BTC is very useful for adding family amenities. If the government is aware that BTC is able to improve the economy of its citizens, they should be happy and provide rules that support BTC and crypto.
The little story about BTC that I have is trying to hold back. But I can't because there is a need that can't be enough with a salary. One thing I remember most was using 0.15BTC to suffice the birth of my child in September 2018. In addition, I used to also take some for my wedding expenses in 2017. In addition, the last one I used to make a small house for my family, although I was still helped from my parents.
Bitcoin can help improve their economy I also feel how the need can be helped by selling a few bitcoins in the past and finally getting what I want even though I am still working but earning from bitcoin while holding it can help me when I am emergency or other needs so the story behind bitcoin they can meet the needs as long as they know bitcoin.

I also heard a lot of stories from people, they can buy a car, buy a house, motorbike, electronics, go on vacation, and many other things so it is very clear that bitcoin is very useful for those who every invest or earn in bitcoin.
That's right, there are many good benefits associated with bitcoin and everyone should make the most of it, apart from buying and storing bitcoins for the long term, we should also use them if we really need them.
and my experience of transacting using bitcoin as I mentioned in this thread before, and at that time I had to use bitcoin by accident and also for some reason, and honestly I've bought a lot of things from bitcoin by exchanging it for fiat because in the country where I live bitcoin or crypto is only allowed for investment and trading and is not allowed for transactions, except for personal fellow bitcoin users. And I can renovate my parents house and buy a motorbike from bitcoin and that is the biggest expense in my opinion, and I can make them happy before marriage, and I also use some of the profits from bitcoin for my marriage capital, bitcoin is really a blessing for I.

When I had Bitcoin the market for Bitcoin was under two thousand dollars.  At that time I had more than 2 bitcoins.  Sadly I sold all my bitcoins at that time and bought my favorite bike.  If I had those three bitcoins now, I would be a millionaire.
It means that you have been familiar with Bitcoin for a very long time, but why did you only enter the forum this year? In fact, if you enter this forum earlier and have a good discussion, your chances of getting more benefits are also very large and I think you also don't have to regret about the Bitcoins that you have given up in the past just for the sake of a favorite bike because at that time that you also do not mind to exchange Bitcoin just for a bicycle.

I am trying to remember it well, but I am sure it is from 2017 or 2018. I bought a Smart TV($500), a washing machine($102), and an android phone($200) using the bitcoin I earned. The price of Bitcoin at that time I purchase as it has yet to hit $17K. I converted my BTC and cashed out it to purchase these appliances and devices. I also bought computer peripherals, and mostly my earnings were spent on having a date with my girlfriend. I am glad I could purchase this thing (the phone is already dead), and I still use it.

Don't mind the background, please, as I couldn't find the photos when this was new, and it was still in the box.

Just some virtual (CSGO) skins during the 2017 bull run. I was looking at around $400+ and was like damn, could get me a sweet knife.

Bitcoin, I really have not made any good thing out of that coin because since 16 August 2018 since I was introduced to crypto were I was mining with my PC and earning little Satoshi. Until when I was gifted 0.00386btc then 1btc was 6221$ I can remember very well. Then it was worth 24$ showing on my hitbtc exchange which was my first wallet in Crypto. Immediately withdrawn and concerted it to my local currency with the help of my school mate. I used the money to pay for me and my 2 friends lunch in school telling them I finally benefited from crypto and btc is paying for our lunch.

Since I started investing 30% of my salary into Bitcoin, I have never sold. All I wanted was to hold more and more Bitcoin but am glad because lately I have been able to get a new cell phone with the money I sold out from a little portion of my Bitcoin. Is like the fruit of my labour being reap . Once I saw this thread, first thing that came to my mind was, "wow! So I could really be among the people saying they have spent Bitcoin on something too". I read through the comments and I see that lots of people have spent Bitcoin in accordance to their desire. It really feels nice.

A whole computer set with a computer table.
It was back in 2018 where I converted all my Bitcoin holdings just to buy a computer set. If I remember correctly, I spent around 0.1-0.15 Bitcoin just to buy the whole set plus the table. It was around $3400-$3500 when I converted it into our own currency.

Until now there is a bit of regret into my mind and asking "What if I didn't bought that computer set and table now? I might buy more and better computer set this year 2022." but what's done is done and the only thing that I can do is to move on and think about the future.

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 bought a piece of software when the price of bitcoin was around 200 dollars and the price of the software was 200 dollars as well, so I spend a whole bitcoin on that, and it turned out that I did not used that piece of software for much after it.

However just a month later I bought back as much bitcoin as I spent on that transaction, I do not remember the price at the time but the price was still close so it was not really a huge loss, fortunately for me I did this because if not I would have huge regrets about spending so much money over a piece of software I did not use.

BitcoinBarrel, I can't legally spend bitcoin on products or services because my country forbids it. I would be in trouble with the law if I broke it, but that has never prevented me from having an alternative where bitcoin-fiat conversion is the most logical option.

Spending bitcoins on services or products can be considered as a means to support bitcoin's function as a currency, but fundamentally we have supported this network to become stronger all the time. This means that while we don't spend bitcoins on anything, we support this network to become stronger. I wouldn't say I've bought a house with bitcoin, bought a car, bought a motorcycle, or anything that stands out regardless of the purpose. I'm just grateful that since my participation in the forum, there are some things I bought even though I didn't actually pay bitcoins directly to the seller.

 COVID-19 in 2020 made things so difficult for my family, in the month of march 15th 2020 my big bro was quarantined because he was confirmed positive, he feared that he may die so he gave me 1.03 Bitcoin which was $ 6,300+ then, also gave 0.8 to my Sis. I thought of how difficult things were then and I decided to sell all the Bitcoin and start a Noodles business which can fetch a daily income. Well, I regret selling the Bitcoin when I saw the price in 2021, I just felt like I lost my opportunity to make my first fortune 🔮, even the incomes from my Noodles business is never compare to what I would have made if I was patience to hold that Bitcoin. But I know it was the condition at hand then that lead to all that.

I once collected a number of BTC in 2019 and then sold all of them into fiat currency as much as 0.17 BTC at the end of November 2020 where at that time it was still in a covid pandemic condition in the area I lived in and at that time the price of BTC itself was almost close to $20K. But I'm grateful because by selling all the BTC I ever had, I was able to open a small cafe to survive, make profit and also be independent. Even though it was hampered by the covid pandemic so I decided to run my business starting early last year.




Looking great one.Because due to pandemic most of us had spend bitcoin in food during 2020-2022.It was huge long gap of savings of bitcoin after the pandemic.Because after the food and expenses,we can able to save .But the livelihood was hard one,then we are forced to spend for it.People with huge bitcoin payments only had their savings since 2019.All other was struggling to survive and savings after the survival as everyone knows it.

Crypto is really something else, my first experience in crypto was May 2018 where someone chat me up on twitter and asked me if i can do some job and earn some $ in return and i say yea, i did some retweet and follow jobs just like shilling. and when i asked for my payment he told me it will be wired through btc, i was a kind of confused because i have not made use of bitcoin before and then i asked how. he ask me to go get btc wallet and send over to him, i then ask few of my friends. who helped me with an address which i forwarded to him. the btc was worth 38$ (0.0056btc) then i was very happy and i immediately ask my friend to buy it and i was paid with my local currency which was my first earning from crypto, i use the money to buy a wrist watch to remind me of that day.. the watch is still with me up till date, kind of old though, but i still can't let go of it.

What is funny to me, is that bitcoin was very popular during the existence of Silk Road and many drug addicts payed large sums in bitcoin to get their drugs, since bitcoin was not worth a lot back then. Must be completely fucked up to know that you wast your money for drugs and also could have been a millionaire with the bitcoins.

This post remind me of when I was busy mining btc from one website www.freebitco.in I made almost about 0.000385 btc from the site.. one day I was going through all the features on the platform and I realized their was options for betting to win a Lamborghini ☺️. I was amazed and I decided to place a bet with all my 2 years earning. It didn't take up to 3 minutes when I lost that earning as if it was nothing, I could not cry that day. Since then I left the site without mining anything again.
It was greed that push me to that, learnt my lessons.

It's funny how things change all of a sudden. In 2017 September when 1 btc was 3900$ or so I earn btc from graphic design which I do for crypto projects in which wanted to run a bounty campaign and gif design for telegram use, I was paid 0.052btc which was worth 216$ as of then. Used the money to buy 4gb ram dedicated graphics laptop 💻. Paid 0.048 btc to the vendor and it was delivered to me.. still using the laptop till now. But as of December same year when btc almost hit 20k$ I was mad and shoot of worlds for months. But life moves on.

maybe I haven't sold a lot of bitcoins because I'm still focused on continuing to collect them.
but a few months ago I read a thread about the experience of someone who uses bitcoin as a means of payment. and I'm interested to feel the sensation. and at that time I bought bitcoin at a price of around $19k USD and used it for payment transactions to extend the rental of a villa where I lived only for work. in general the owner of the rental does not accept bitcoins but he does accept it specially just for me. because it turns out that he also knows bitcoin and even invests in it.

one thing that surprised me was that without me realizing it, it turned out that people around me already knew bitcoin before I knew bitcoin and it turned out that I was the only one who was left far behind because it turned out that I was only a person who was new to bitcoin rather than those who had known it for a long time. .

even I now feel at home in the country where I work now.

The most Bitcoin I have spent on something was 0.03 btc to purchase a laptop computer for myself. This was in May of 2022 and the price of bitcoin was at $31,740. I still remember how excited I felt on that day. Since then, I have enjoyed buying a couple of other stuff using btc.

I think it was around 2020, my father needed to go to the hospital but he did not manage to get the money necessary, the same morning he had his appointment I decided to sell around 50$ in BTC I had, for him to afford the visit. I recall the mempool was a kind of full those days, I found myself in a situation I needed to pay a moderately high fee for my father to depart on time, in the end, everything went fine.

bitcoin as a "spending" thing is not common unfortunately. Sure there are some digital stuff people could pay and get, but as long as I can't pay my bills with crypto, it will not mean anything. For example all of my grocery is digital now, I open up an app and order anything I want, a can of coke, a bread, some tomatos, gallon of milk, ALL my grocery could be done digitally and they will bring it to my house directly.

However, they still do not accept crypto for it, not even stableones which would be amazingly proper. This is why as long as my life is still lived as if bitcoin is just an investment and not a currency, there is really no "real" use case for it just yet.

Another thing came to my mind, I love to play games, and I remember very clearly that I bought all my steam games from here directly for a long time. I didn't buy the games to be fair, I did that like 3 times only, but most of the time I bought steam wallet codes and people who sold it to be were 50-50% chance either scammers or real people.

Some of them did offer great discounts and had pages and pages of great things written about them, but others offered insane like 50% off, and of course I should have known they were scammers but I always did tests like 20 bucks only, and when I lost it and got scammed, I knew I didn't spend much. So what I spent most was never one game, I spent more on other stuff on single spending, but if you calculate them all together "games" could become what I spend the most money on.

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?

In my country I can't use BTC directly to spend on any consumer products or services unless I have to convert it to fiat first and I did this conversion at the end of last year when the price of BTC had started to drop from $68K to $50K which made me rushed to exchange it into my local currency as much as 0.1 BTC and after all the BTC became local currency, I used it to open a computer course teaching place for children who dropped out of college or who didn't go to college after graduating from high school or equivalent.
Even though the kids pay when they take the course, but I think it is a very noble job because they can get some computer related knowledge in the course.

Do you mean spending BTC directly to buy something? Or converting BTC to fiat and then buying something?
It this is about spending BTC directly to buy something, I never do it.
First, BTC is illegal as payment method in my country, so I am using this only for investment
- Second, I find no merchants are accepting BTC around me in the area so far.
- I probably can spend BTC by overseas shipping but I think that the process will be more complicated.

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.

What was the date and price of BTC at the time?



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.

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 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.
Yes, that's right. Maybe if the use of bitcoin in our country is completely legal, we can just use bitcoin as a means of payment if we don't bring fiat money. So far, converting crypto assets to fiat for payments has saved me too.

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.

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.

What was the date and price of BTC at the time?




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.

One of the generous expenditures that I have ever made was to use 0.1btc for a month's accommodation. I remember that was around the beginning of 2019. That makes me always remember the behavior of assets in the market. In fact, we always have better lessons at each different stage, and also a more positive view of the money we used to hold. As everyone knows, with 0.1 BTCC, I paid for a month's accommodation, and now it can help me pay for up to several months of rent:)). It is truly one of those very generous moments that I will never forget.

In bitcoin terms, 1.4 bitcoins for a business plan and mvp execution (first the plan, but then also the website for it) but if we are talking about just the dollar terms, I paid 800 dollars for a huge name brand company to make me a logo (which I ended up not using at all) and it didn't even turn out that great, they ended up doing something way too confusing which later on didn't really took me much to see why I didn't like it.

All in all, when I spent that 1.2 btc, I didn't know btc would be this big, it was just a few hundred dollars, and I am glad to pay 800 for the logo, because since then btc went down a lot, and I can pay the same 800 to buy more btc now.

Back in 2015, or maybe at the end of that year, the price of a bitcoin was not more than $500 as I remember and I bought a computer for about $1,000, which is equivalent to 2 bitcoins. Too bad it didn't take a month until that computer was stolen from me and that bitcoin was all I collected from mining. Then I had to sell the mining machines to get another computer.

This is a cruel question, it makes me remeber back in 2015 when i spend 3.2 BTC in a used car:


The bitcoin price at that time was close to $430/coin so, i should wait a lil more and get a Ferrari with those 3 BTC.  Grin

I never expect to see bitcoin going to the moon, but it was a nice lesson to learn and a hard to swallow pill.

I also bought a car with my BTC, but it was last year, in 2021 and it wasn't 100% BTC. My wife paid most of it from her own savings and the rest was BTC. The total price of the car was around 16k EUR and maybe 7k of it was bitcoin. The price I sold bitcoin at was somewhere around 50k USD. The car was a Volvo V40 and we still have it.

Mi biggest BTC purchase that I paid for 100% in BTC was a computer setup that I bought from Amazon using BTC gift cards. It was 2019, I paid ~2k EUR at @9k EUR per BTC. I'm using this PC today, it didn't break and it didn't get old.

I'm not sure if gambling falls under consumer services, though.  Wink
I personally do not regard gambling as a consumer service, gambling can be considered as a form of trading since one can lose or profit from it, just same way it is with crypto currency trading.
I think what's classified as a consumer service is - for example
Buying a physical item, like you bought your car, house, etc.
Or paying for a service either online or offline, this can range from school fees, electricity bill, hospital bills, your internet subscription, transportation etc.

I'm sad to hear that because actually 2 years later [2017] you might be able to own a new car for $64K which is assumed to be $20K per unit of that bitcoin.
But I bet you never mind about how you spend btc to buy a car back then because you really think it's to support its use case as currency.

In my case, no. I haven't been able to spend my bitcoins to buy goods or services. I keep it as a future investment asset and I probably won't be trading it until $100K is hit in the next few years. I can imagine a new car in front of the garage, it is something that will probably come true as a result of my investment in bitcoin at this time.

With Bitcoin we can buy something more valuable including luxury goods of various types but I don't remember how much Bitcoin was spent but most of it was converted to fiat to make it easier for me in any transaction.

Aside from the 1st 3 miners I bought back in 2014 using fiat, my farm was expanded/upgraded to the latest/greatest ones as soon as they were released -- all paid for directly using BTC. Per my records to date that is over 95BTC... One of course has to remember that for a long time BTC was worth only a few hundreds of $ so a miner costing 2-3 BTC was not uncommon. Can't say I regret spending them as I still have a tidy amount tucked away but nowhere the total I've earned mining.

The bitcoin price at that time was close to $430/coin so, i should wait a lil more and get a Ferrari with those 3 BTC.  Grin

I never expect to see bitcoin going to the moon, but it was a nice lesson to learn and a hard to swallow pill.

In May 2018 was when I spent about 0.053 btc to buy a laptop. The bitcoin price was around $8200 and my laptop was no less than $430. But don't get me wrong, I didn't buy it with btc but with fiat even though I had to convert 0.053 btc to fiat on the local exchange.

The government still prohibit us from using crypto as a legal tender until now, and that's why I dare not pay sellers with bitcoin. Converting it to fiat is one way out, so it's safe for me to make transaction. Luckily for me at that time the government had not applied a tax for every transaction of converting crypto to fiat or vice versa, but now the tax has been applied although it is still quite acceptable as a reasonable limit.

I forget the date and price but I have spent BTC by buying electronic goods from some of my friends so that I can make transactions like this because in my area it is still illegal for crypto to be made into buying and selling transactions.

The average is that selling BTC to fiat makes it very easy for what I want but still the most interesting impression is that buying with bitcoin transactions has decreased my impression.

But I see people have done a lot of transactions with btc this is very easy, including other consumer purchases.

The most Bitcoin I've spent is on a consumer product, I made a post about it here on bitcointalk, check out the thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60514589

The transaction, if am not mistaken took place on 24th of May, 2022, and I spent around 0.022 BTC which was worth $650 at the time, at that time, Bitcoin was trading around or a little above $29,000 per coin.

As far as I remember, I had the first serious transaction only in 2016 when the price was around $400, but I never looked back at how much the same thing would cost today or when 1 BTC was worth almost $70k. Maybe some will say that it was stupid to spend Bitcoin back then because today we could buy much more for the same amount, but if you looked at things like that, then I would never have spent even 1 satoshi.

I can't say at the moment what I spent the most on, but maybe the most expensive was a very expensive TV, although I also bought computers, smartphones and a lot of other electronics.

What's the most BTC you've ever spent on something? Must be a consumer product or service, etc.
Most of my Bitcoin was spent to be liquidity on market. I am participant of the market and joining games by market makers. Rest of my Bitcoin was sold to get fiat currency and spent for my bills.

I am sad that I had to sell my Bitcoin under $10,000 before 2020 bull run and lost lot of my Bitcoin that I can not earn back from my campaign in forum last 2 years. Pay rate is the same (not increase too much) and price increased a lot. I earn less in Bitcoin each week, very sad.

Right in mid-November 2021, I had spent about $1k bitcoin to buy electronic goods in the form of a laptop and at that time the bitcoin price was at the level of $63k-$64k, but because in my country there is no electronic store that accepts payments using bitcoin so I have to converting my bitcoins to fiat currency first using a local exchange, this is the first time I have spent a slightly larger amount of bitcoin as previously I only spent a smaller amount of bitcoin just to fulfill my daily needs.

February 2017: bought an average laptop, it has worth some 600 USD back then.
I don't have the tx id to look up the exact BTC value, it was some 1100 USD/BTC plus the payment processor was charging some 7-8% fee too.
So yeah, more than half of a bitcoin paid. I tell my wife now and then that the laptop worth as much as a new car Cheesy (yeah, a cheaper one now, in crypto winter)

If we're talking about spending (not selling for fiat, not buying BTC, not trading), then it's 0.002 BTC when the price was around $40k+. It was roughly $100, if I remember well, and I spent this money on buying two hoodies, but also as a charity thing, which is why it's more than I'd probably spend just on a random hoodie on a shop. Unfortunately, I haven't spent much BTC directly because of a lack of ways of doing it. I wouldn't spend Bitcoin on something I wouldn't otherwise buy, and things I do spend money on usually aren't those easily available for purchase in BTC.

I can't remember, but during 2017's run, I have bought a flat TV and other gadgets like laptop or something, I should have hold on those bitcoin though and waited till December of that year to really maximize its fiat value. Nevertheless, no regrets, although the TV I gifted it to one my niece already. And everyone is still really learning that holding might be the best thing to do right in this bear market. Buy the dip and then HODL.

Oh man, I don't want to remember it although I can't really remember those purchases I've made. The only thing that I can remember is that I've spent more than a bitcoin during that time and that was around 2017.

Things have been uncertain at that time and note that it wasn't during the all time high. I think it was during the Q2 or Q3 of that year. Although I don't regret most of my purchases because it's for the sake of my needs or my loved ones.

I'm sure that there are the others that have spent more than me and it's not even put into good use.

When I was a newbie, I mostly spent my bitcoin on digital games for my pc. That was year 2016 and the price of that bitcoin that time was less than $20k. Most of my games on steam are bought using bitcoin and if I compute it now, its total would be more or less 200$.

But now since I already have some responsibilities to take care off, I used it sometimes to pay our bills when my salary is not enough to cover it.

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.

There was a bakery in my town when bitcoin was 100-200 USD. I used to buy Coffee, Bagels etc. at a regular basis, what meant that the usual bill would be 0.05-0.1 Bitcoin. I don't regret it a bit, since those were the days when because of bigger and bigger adoption the prices went up.

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?



It hurts me when I flash back or come across this kind of question. I wish I had known about this forum before now, it would have helped me to properly plan my BTC spending and investment. And talking about the BTC I had spent on something, there are many of them to the extent that I've lost count. But the highest amount spent on frivolities at a specific time was 0.8 BTC in 2019 when Bitcoin was 3901.85 because I still have the withdrawal record. The most painful part is that the amount was the peak of my earnings since then and I was unable to make money when Bitcoin rose between 2020 - 2021. I didn't believe in Cryptocurrency then, and it hurts till today.

not much and no more than 50$ in Btc at a price of 60,000$.

Last year impressed me until I got paid and saved money. I spent it on internet payments, buying fuel and kitchen supplies.
Fluctuating prices can't be resisted but I think when there are assets that can be exchanged it is very useful for my needs. I don't regret the current price. stays the same and stays at the value I need.
summer is still on and its time to save my btc.
i believe btc will come back and surpass ath. and my income will be more than my previous Btc.
I usually only spend a few $.

November 2017, bitcoin price was around $8000, the laptop cost around $4000.... So little under 0.5 BTC for a laptop.
I did buy loads of stuff from fasttech, it must have added up to > 1 BTC in total, but each piece's price was much (much) lower

I dunno for sure but you can see my history on here buying some things that are sure worth a whole lot less in translated bitcoin to dollar value today. Bitcoin was around $200 or so when I first bought so I’m sure I was spending a ton of coins on things worth a tiny fraction of that value today.
