I didn't buy anything with my bitcoins. I'm not going to spend them now when we are in a bear market. I'll think about it when we at least go above 50% of all time high. Now when we are at 40% it's just a waste of money if we sell.
I spent some of my fiat on black friday merchandise. One of the things that I bought was a new phone because my old one had 4 years already. As long as I have fiat I will spend that first before any bitcoins.

I still hold bitcoin for upcoming year and right now i don't have any plans to buy either.
It is stored for my future so just gonna hold bitcoin
It's true that we need to use our Bitcoin to encourage merchant. We often ask merchants to accept Bitcoin but then after they accepting it nobody uses it lol.

Because it's too much hassle? There are also a lot of fee to convert fiat to BTC and sending it back to your wallet. Ok, got that, we need merchant adoption, we need people using it ...but count me out because it's too much of hassle to buy bitcoins.
I'm pretty sure that if everybody would simply hold, don't buy anything, never clog the chain with their troublesome transactions we will all become rich with no hassle. I mean, why are we even talking about bitcoin, bitcoin will skyrocket to a gazillion even if nobody knows what bitcoin is. With a lot of sarcasm, BF offer!
In my country bitcoin is restricted and merchants do not accept bitcoins.
First of all thank you Bitcoin Black Friday deal because many members will be holding bitcoin but they won't be able to spend or buy anything with bitcoin because there is no online bitcoin payment option. For such members this is actually a great platform to purchase in Black Friday.

I have never considered buying "things" with your bitcoins on Black Friday as a good choice, but I did change my mind today. Previously I thought
it was a bad idea, because you might buy something for say 0.006453 ($50) today and a month after that the value of those coins might double or
triple and you would regret paying for those goods and services with bitcoins.
A friend of mine changed my mind, because he says we (The Bitcoiners of this world) must support the merchants that supports Bitcoin or they will
simply stop supporting it and he says the Bitcoin price might plummet to $10/BTC and you would be glad that you spend it, whilst it was still valued
a lot more.
We have regular power failures in our area, so I decided.. f%^ it.. I am going to buy a UPS and a generator to protect my electronic devices and I
bought these items at a local shop that supports Bitcoin payments. (I received a 65% discount on both items.)
So, what did you buy and did you support our Bitcoin merchants?
I want to buy new mobile phone higher higher specification but not getting which site available to but it with lower price on black Friday time, almost people around the world waiting for black Friday moment to get some thing with lower price and if you life in United State you have many store giving discount on Black Friday. it was a bad idea, because you might buy something for say 0.006453 ($50) today and a month after that the value of those coins might double or
triple and you would regret paying for those goods and services with bitcoins.

You really took a good decision to buy some stuff in black Friday using bitcoin, as your friend said, you should enjoy your bitcoins now and buy different things that you like to buy, bitcoin's price can even decrease in the next months, so when you had bitcoin you should at least use a little bit of your earnings to buy some stuffs, at least for yourself and also for the bitcoin community, I really spend around 300$ worth of bitcoin in the last black Friday and this year I didn't spend a lot.
Actually I did buy few things but not directly with Bitcoin but with my Bitcoin debit card. Unfortunately not much merchants accept Bitcoin and the offer of goods and services that you could buy with Bitcoin on Black Friday wasn't good at all. Of course I haven't spent all my coins and for luck I have my Bitcoin debit card otherwise I couldn't buy anything.
I have not purchased anything on this black friday sale because i didn't need anything at current but what my mentallity is that you need to enjoy your life rather than having optimistic mindset that $50 worth of btc could have double so there is no need to waste it?You need to promote crypto growth by trading in the market with merchants offering crypto services so rather than making btc a store of value make it as payment method.I have spend btc to buy some gaming stuffs earlier so next year sale will attract my needs.

On the recent event, I wasn't able to do anything strategical. There is a lot of way on how you can double or triple the value of your bitcoin and the most possible way is through holding. You can actually use your bitcoin in many ways nowadays but physically, only few countrie regulate the use of it. We just need to wait for a bit till the whole world legalize the use of bitcoin. Events like black friday can be a good time to buy but can also be a dangerous time to buy so you should think about all your decisions carefully always. it was a bad idea, because you might buy something for say 0.006453 ($50) today and a month after that the value of those coins might double or

How do you even find merchants that accept Bitcoin and sell exactly what you need and offer competitive prices all at the same time? I buy most of my stuff either via my local online marketplaces or from big retailers. I never saw either of them accepting Bitcoin, so unfortunately I didn't spend my coins on this Black Friday. Supporting Bitcoin merchants sounds great, but I guess I'm just too seek them, but if places where I shop accepted BTC, I'd definitely spend some.
A good way is to look for local shops first, because it is easy to visit them or to buy online and get cheap/fast delivery. I did not know that I have few very good hardware shops in my country, but I try to google what is interesting (just to check prices) me with Bitcoin as an additional keyword. I think many don't even know what they can buy/pay for in their home country using Bitcoin.
Another way is to visit pages like this Spending-bitcoin.com - The biggest directory of webshops accepting Bitcoin! where we can find almost 1000 sites sorted by category, and all of them accept BTC as a means of payment.
I have in plan to buy a new hardware wallet for this Black Friday, but also some other things in my local stores.
In my opinion Bitcoins are far too valuable to be spent on black friday deals, unless you don't believe in BTC long-term. Just think a minute - if you sell 0.20 Bitcoin now to buy a TV at 40-50% off wouldn't you regret it some years from now when that 0.20 BTC could be worth $50k-200k?! Would you pay that much for a TV - do you really need that? 
Better just confine with your fiat holdings and spend them so you avoid losing from inflation as well haha

Zilch. I did a pre black Friday treat and bought a VR headset from abroad. When it arrived the goddamn thing wouldn't fit over my head as it's gargantuan. Now I'm waiting for a post black Friday Ebay cut in fees to move it on.
I bought nothing xd. I mostly don't buy stuff I don't need online or anywhere with or without sale, I just focus on buying things that I really needed in my daily life or in my future life. I really want to spend some wants but looking at bitcoins' current state you need to be careful about what you buy and make sure you need it because the money that can be used to fund investment will be wasted if you have done a wrong purchase.
I was expecting to spend some coins but it seems that the bearish vibe in the market has left a bad taste in my mouth. I prefer to hodl through for now and spend whenever the price has broken through $10k again.
I know that the prices can sink even lower and that spending now could be good, but it just doesn't feel good. Spending coins to see the price go up later on isn't something I and with me, many others don't look forward to.
I am aware that I can replace spent coins, but that's just not my vision of how money should be used.

Ah yes, Black Friday...i made some cosmetic purchases but unfortunately the online market that i shop at don't accept bitcoin as a mode of payment so i had to liquidate some bitcoins and make the purchase in fiat. However, i made a request to their support team to inculcate this into their future plans because digital currencies is definitely the future. Hopefully, this would fall on good ears and improve upon the adoption of bitcoin. I did this in my own little effort. Y'all should try and do your best.
Bought digital goods for my marketing.bought out Reach services for life time (like appsumo deals). Bought few gift cards.and all of money paid via bitcoin.but i can't buy physical goods because crypto is illegal in our country.
I had this tradition of buying hosting packages on black Friday sale with crypto but after 2-3 years I understood that am loosing more rather than gaining as the price of the crypto got doubled. These days I buy crypto on black Friday sale time.
I am going to forward this to my friend who needs honey products. Good luck.
For this weekend we are offering 20% off any of our products if using bitcoin (and a few other cryptos).

Well, we still have Cyber Monday for those people who have missed out. Someone gave some good advice in this thread, namely converting the
Fiat that you would have spend into bitcoins and paying for the goods and services with bitcoins. You will not regret the "buy", because you just
had that budget to use for that item or service. The problem come in when the merchant does not accept bitcoins, then you are forced to use the
Fiat or credit card. Many people do not have a budget for Black Friday, they just pull out the credit card.
(In a way, Bitcoin force you not to
make more debt)

not a bad item to spend on op plus you also got a huge discount . i dont shop yesterday not because i was having a similar mindset like you before but its just i dont have enough bitcoins on my wallet yesterday . i hear positive feedbacks about black friday shopping but event like this also help bitcoin to be used on what they trully meant for . also events like this were first to originate on other developed countries like u.s but on our place we have different date's for discounted shopping .
Black Friday is much enjoyed on the western nation, and slowly getting spread over the Asian countries. This is just a tactic followed to increase the business during this time. I haven't purchased anything during this black Friday. I preferred to buy a product from Ali Express during this Black Friday, but the product I have added to my cart hasn't got any offer. This way I dropped the plan of buying, and my usage will be mostly in fiat after converting to fiat.
You can find sale on ecommerce site through out the year. Black Friday is truly a tact to attract customers on there site in the name of sale. Buying anything with BTC usually cost more then buying using fiat currency.
