Topic: Most Expensive Thing You Bought With Bitcoin? - page 4. (Read 8004 times)

I bought $80,000 of fiat currency with Bitcoin.  Does that count?

Converted about 900 BTC to USD (no BTC economy for medical supplies) and spent it on medical supplies for charity work I did in 2011 - that was the single largest transaction (back when the price fell to $8 from $32 high).

Learned a lesson from Pirate's BTCST at a cost of 510 BTC.  And a secondary lesson from Hashking that insured means jack shit (that was another 41BTC).

244 BTC  on bASIC's that never materialized

Even if I got the refund of $2,759, I'd be out a loss of just over $5k at current Bitcoin price.

Bitcoin Island and a pirate ship...

7.67BTC for a ticket to the Singapore GP

Almost the only thing I've ever done with BTC is donate them to causes I appreciate.  Or appreciated at a point in time.  Probably the largest amount with to Wikileaks, but it could have been to an abortive project originally convinced of by ~evoorhees.  Cannot really remember the name of it.  Operation Bitcoin or something dopey like that.  Last I knew ~trentbz or some such had control of them.

I've donated token amounts to scammers/plonkers (a term which fits many if not most Bitcoin related 'titans of industry') so the Bitcoin Consultancy and whoever ran bitmarket.eu have a few which I used to own.  No more than I expected though.

A vast majority of the value I hold passed through Tradehill in the form of BTC and USD.  They shut down with grace and left me completely whole even though they held the not insignificant amount of fiat I hoped to pump into BTC if the price got down into the $1.xx/BTC range.  They also, however, have proof of my identity, IP addresses vs. time, and so on.  Unless they trashed it.

I remain at risk of donating what is a fairly significant about of value to Instawallet thanks to the recent price run-up but so far ~davout and company have proven reliable and competent.  Mt. Gox could get me for a few BTC at their leisure as well as I recall...and they already gave a throw-away name and one-time password hash to third parties.

Btw my biggest spend in bitcoins were in casassius coins and bars!

Sorry, but you bought it "with" or "because of" bitcoins? If "with", Wow porsche is accepting bitcoins!!! We should spread the word! if "because of", I could add that I upgraded my house and car 

Who did you buy it from that accepts bitcoin?

I just recently put an order through for a BFL little single for ~24.4BTC - in the past I probably gave that many BTC to bitbrew... and today spent about the same fiat value as that now ~4BTC to http://the-chocolate-tree.bit-trade.co.uk

this for 22.2222 BTC

This. 

I guess some people are here to show off what they use to compensate for other things. LMAO

I rarely use bitcoins as an actual way to buy materialistic things, I have brought gift cards and codes for things ~1btc. But my largest purchase was my dedicated box.

Spent about 8.4039 btc on a sub to Bitcoin Magazine.

I had to buy darn dollars on few occasions... Must have spent a couple of thousands of coins altogether (the price wasn't always like what we see today).

An imaginary TouchPad from a scammer.  Better to learn the lesson earlier than later I suppose (this was probably a year ago).

An "account" with Bitcoin Savings & Trust  

Lesson learned.

I guess the most expensive single item Ive purchased was a SSD harddrive 12btc (~200$ at the time), other things I've spent on are bitcoin t-shirts, gambling sites, hosting and casascius coins.

This is the best argument in favor of Bitcoin I've seen so far! Glad I could contribute 

Haha wow this is awesome. Great job.
