I'm sure not many people here have purchased stuff with bitcoin, which is because it is primarily used as an investment asset rather than a currency. Furthermore, the possibility of making more money if the value of bitcoin rises is likely what deters people from making that transaction using bitcoin.

I think this is something that makes me regret Smiley
but if you remember that it happened in 2010 it hangs meaning 11 years ago I don't think he will really affect his current thinking because I'm sure Laszlo Hanyecz must have a lot of stock now.
apart from that $10,000 bitcoin I think for the time of course it became commonplace because their volatility was still not visible and it was the first years.
this is the same as the people who sold their doge a few years ago who had no price before being pumped and manipulated by Elon.
sometimes things like that have to be seen in terms of the year they are not imagined at this time because of course the price will be fantastic
oh... pizza day...
well actually there is nothing to regret, in fact it should be a pride that has become part of the history of the development of bitcoin where he has made the first payment of an item with btc. that's awesome right? must be proud in itself.
That's how crypto works, the price is very volatile, it can go up or down in a short time. instill the principle that we must be grateful no matter how much profit we get, what has become our destiny will never be missed. so just enjoy this trip Smiley

related to payment with btc, because in my country it is not legal yet, so I have to convert it to paper money first.

Well, there is --recently there someone who created a topic regarding the first purchasing using bitcoin and on this thread, OP was stated that this is the first he purchased a product using his bitcoin. [ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-first-bitcoin-shopping-5354038 ].
That is how good bitcoin is, you had an option to hold an option to spend directly using bitcoin, if you feel that bitcoin is good for storing value, it is up to you and if you also feel to use it purchase online, still it is up to you. We have a different choices on how we use bitcoin.

Interesting.

I haven’t buy anything with bitcoin. I use btc for sending payment and for trading. I also use btc for converting crypto to fiat. I haven’t any interest to buy anything with btc. I can easily convert btc to local currency, then i can buy anything with that.

Nothing with Bitcoin only converted it into fiat money but paid for a vets bill using Dogecoin Smiley because the transaction fees are low compared to bitcoin fees

I think it's too much to pay for vet bills using bitcoin because bitcoin fees are expensive bitcoin transactions are suitable for big things like buying a car and buying a house.

I haven't bought any item or material using Bitcoin directly for purchase here in my place since there are still no merchants accepting payment method through Bitcoin because I still basically need to convert it into our national currency to be able to make use of my earnings in Bitcoin. But still looking forward to see someday that there will be availability of merchants who accepts Bitcoin as its usage grow further due to popularity and demand here in our place. But for now, I am just focusing on acquiring more as long as I can afford for it is good for investment opportunity as of this moment.
some replies in the thread has bought something but they converted thier btc to fiat first before they do it .
have you done it ? but is that a valid btc transaction op ? if theres no support in your country why not use online because theres many of them that accepts btc but the only issue is your going to pay for the delivery fee but you can collect vouchers to lessen the fees .
 i tried both using btc directly and indirectly to buy items in my house . i didnt regret it because the items are useful

Most people, if they want to spend their Bitcoin, have to convert Bitcoin to fiat first. That's the most efficient way in my opinion, indeed because not
all countries accept Bitcoin as a means of payment and the number of merchants who do accept Bitcoin payments is still limited. But I am optimistic
that in the future there will be more merchants who accept Bitcoin payments, and I believe that eventually all countries can accept Bitcoin. Although
it may take over a decade for this to become reality.

I bought myself a phone and some collectible figures and most of my payouts are used to pay some bills in the house and if something is leftover, I save it or treat myself to some good food.

Im saving it up and i dont spend it actively into something which i can particular purchase with fiat because we know the potential when it comes to future price increase which would give out profits.
Actually what you said is real and also reality in cryptocurrency investment, saving Bitcoin is Best option if actually you want to have multiple of your money, without challenge's facing me that made to be converting my btc to fiat i would have known the values of Bitcoin i made from the community, i will like to encourage anyone that doesn't have much problem that relates with fiat to keep on holding their Bitcoin because of future reference and values in time coming.if am out of this shit i will be saving my Bitcoin.

The recent item that I have actually bought with Bitcoin was vitamins. I got a friend of mine who is a licensed distributor, in which he is the one providing me the supplements. However, when I asked him if he likes to be paid with Bitcoin, he didn’t hesitate to say yes and our transaction was smooth.
Yes, I already know and I am present in your thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bought-my-vitamins-with-bitcoin-5331188
Are you currently still buying this vitamin and I hope you are healthy and do not use it again.

I have never used bitcoin for any purchases, but I have bought whatever I wanted by converting it to fiat because in the country I live in it is permitted to use crypto or bitcoin as an asset or investment and is prohibited from using it for transaction payments, and it is not available in the country where I live because it is strictly prohibited, except for personal transactions.
the most important thing for me is that I can still use bitcoin or other crypto and convert it to fiat if I want to make a purchase and I already have a lot of items that I have from bitcoin profits, besides that it can change me for the better, especially from the financial and economic sector me.

I am still a beginner in the crypto world so basically, I haven't earned yet a huge amount of bitcoin, so I would never buy that kind of pizza, I am into investing in bitcoin and some altcoins, and some of my earnings in bitcoin is already converted into cash and used it in some of my needs but as long as it is not important, I never pull it out and just hold it for a long term. Anyway, good luck with that contest, that would be great for those who already have bought a bitcoin pizza.

This mindset is good in an investment, you should not think about spending it when you are not having huge amount of bitcoin.

Thinking about spending it makes me think about losing opportunity in the future especially that I'm not that successful enough.

But still spending it is a kind of a good experience in crypto industry but the only problem is where to spend it.

I also think so, rather than being used as a means of payment, I prefer to use BTC as an investment tool. So far, payments using cash, bank transfers, and e-money are still very effective.
In my opinion, payment with BTC is still limited, only applies to certain ecosystems, and yes, we know there is still a lot of controversy.
after all, payment using BTC is prohibited by the government in my country.
Bitcoin is still a problem in many countries, and we see it as very important. because clearly it takes trust from all countries in order to accept it as a legal means of payment, but it seems that currently there are still many obstacles that occur. not to mention that bitcoin is still thought to have a lot of controversy because it is thought to be a place for laundering money from corruption etc.

I think let Bitcoin and Fiat go hand in hand and cover each other's shortcomings in each use.
let bitcoin run to cover where fiat is hard and vice versa.

it is true that bitcoin is indeed very good for investing or trading in crypto, because many countries still have problems and need to prepare proper regulatory tools.

so far I have not been able to buy anything with bitcoin. but I really want to buy with bitcoin. If you ask why you didn't buy anything, I didn't have enough money or needed things to buy with bitcoin. Since purchases with bitcoin are not very common anyway, I did not have much of a chance. I don't have a lot of bitcoins anyway. I hope I will increase my bitcoin amount in the future and bitcoin will be accepted as payment method in more places.
