Topic: What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto? (Read 486 times)

The seller's decision to charge you more because of the risk associated with accepting cryptocurrency is, in my opinion, the best course of action if they are not a cryptocurrency trader themselves and are only accepting your payment in cryptocurrency because you have chosen to do so. This is the only way to reduce the risk associated with accepting cryptocurrency due to it volatility nature. If I am also the seller, I will add additional fees in such case, if not I won't take it from you due to price fluctuations.why did you even choose to pay with crypto, though? Why not use fiat money?you should have Simply converting crypto to fiat currency.

As for me, I have not bought anything with crypto before, but I have seen many people purchase things online by using cryptocurrency. I also have a plan to try and use crypto to purchase something one day, but seriously, I don't like making any attempts with my Bitcoin investment because I will not like the situation after using my Bitcoin to purchase something. The price will now be rising unexpectedly, which is going to be a painful thing for me.

Not sure if I can call it weird, but I bought some ICO tokens of a gaming project that I thought looked promising on paper at the time. The twist was, I only realized I was given 90% of the total supply when I had only bought a small fraction. That was indeed an odd experience. Unfortunately, this project went under the bus, and I still hold those 'sh*tcoins' to this day. 😛

But you know what, that's the beauty of the crypto world - you win some, you lose some. It's all part of the learning experience.

Speaking of crypto investments, have you ever considered diving into the world of tokens like Energy Web Token (EWT)? It's a fascinating project that's making waves in the field of decarbonization and sustainable energy. I recently read an insightful article about EWT on Future Citizen News, which delves into how it's becoming the standard for green energy initiatives. If you're interested in the future of clean energy and crypto investments, it's a must-read!

Back when Netflix used to offer free trials, there was a guy on Reddit who would create an account for you, and I used to pay him a few bucks in BTC each month for a new account. It was a clever way to save a few bucks, and bitcoins were indeed well spent.

Sadly, Netflix stopped offering these trials because too many people were abusing it to get free or discounted subscriptions. However, if I'm not mistaken, Netflix still offers these trials in some countries, even though the service of selling such accounts has dwindled as sharing accounts isn't as easy as it used to be.

It's fascinating how crypto has touched so many aspects of our lives, from gaming to entertainment, and even clean energy initiatives like Energy Web Token (EWT). The crypto world is full of surprises and opportunities, isn't it?

Not sure if I can call it weird but I bought some ICO tokens  of a gaming project that I thought and looked promising on paper at the time ,and only realised I was given 90% of the total supply when I only bought a small fraction which was weird , but unlucky me this project went under the bus and still hold these shitcoins till this day  

Bitcoins well spent, to save a few bucks love it

But if not mistaken, Netflix still offers these trials for some countries though this service of selling such accounts has gone down as sharing accounts isn't as easy as it was.

I bought some toys online with it and one of the best moments I spent bitcoins with because I've been a fan of Gundam since I was a kid and to be able to buy it from my own hard work, is something like a beautiful memory you will never forget in your whole life. Although I wasn't able to complete the collection, I was happy to find some person who is willing to trade it with bitcoins.

2 years ago if planning to do real estate exchange crypto transaction to buy such project, since the seller didn't accept it, instead he asked for some more amount. Maybe the seller is not very well versed in crypto, that's why he didn't prefer bitcoin. But if you notice many countries sell such plots only in virtual currency where transactions are accepted by Bitcoin. I saw a tweet on Twitter where a person was able to buy a house in Portugal with Bitcoin, so many things can be bought with Bitcoin these days. Also, since you have a dream to buy something with Bitcoin, maybe in the future this dream will come true.  However, I have no plans to buy any products with crypto so far, but I dream of buying them in the future. Since many places in my country accept bitcoin payments, I am planning to buy something with bitcoin payment someday.

The title should be something related but not that because you have just put the question into "What is the weirdest Deal you ever made but failed" 

Imagine the deal does not come through yet you called it a deal , that is something not similar 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Have purchased Laptop in 2019 but the sad thing is the unit is defective and the seller blocked me after the deal so i need to bring the laptop in technician and spend another hundred bucks before it is being used.

The person you offered to buy things with crypto from might not be very experienced in digital currencies. If he had a good experience with virtual currency, he certainly wouldn't be asking you for such extra real estate. But if you currently want to buy goods or various things with crypto, it is possible and you can buy if cryptocurrency is legal in your country. And if cryptocurrency is not legal then you may have to wait for a long time to fulfill this dream, and if you buy products with this virtual currency, I think it will be best.

So far I have not been able to buy any products or things by crypto but I have a dream that I will buy goods by Bitcoin in the future. I can buy goods with Bitcoin if I want but since Bitcoin is illegal in my country I have not been able to buy goods with Bitcoin yet. But I have future dream I will buy any one thing by Bitcoin and fulfill my dream. If Bitcoin was legal in my country, I might have done such a great thing long ago.

Where did you purchase the gift cards ? Was it sold on discount because you were paying with crypto?

I haven't used my crypto currencies that much for buying things, the biggest purchase I ever made with it was new parts for my PC. That is not really weird and I would expect that most people have used their cryptos to either by a new phone or PC. Except that I only use cryptos for gambling and investing these days. It usually makes more sense to spend my Fiat money for all the little purchases in life and keep saving my crypto coins. Back when I first started out with Bitcoins, I used it to transfer CSGO skin money back into Fiat money. Some people might find it weird to invest so much money in pixel that don't give any value in a game and is only for cosmetics. What troubles me the most was how much money I could have saved if I didn't sell all my Bitcoins back then. Looking back now how much the Bitcoin price increased from 2016 was my biggest trading mistake. That is also why I don't want to make any bigger purchases with my crypto coins again at the moment.     

You can buy many things with cryptocurrency if your country is not restricted to use bitcoin. Most of the countries in the world still do not legalize Bitcoin. If someone wants then he can easily buy anything by pear to pear transection but that would not allowed for everywhere. If one wants to purchase a plot then one must provide the required documents which is not possible in many cases especially where cryptocurrency is not valid. However, it is not impossible to get this benefit in the case of some small products. I personally have not directly purchased anything with Bitcoin but have used it as a payment medium for various issues.

Back when Netflix used to offer free trials there was a guy on Reddit who would create an account for you and I used to pay him a few bucks in BTC each month for a new account. It was better than paying full price. Sadly, Netflix stopped offering these trials because too many people were abusing it to get free or discounted subscriptions.

An even weirder purchase was Chaturbate tokens when somebody I followed on social media signed up for an account and did a few cam shows.

In terms of buying weird things with crypto, I haven't tried it yet. Most of the time, I only used it for some important purchases but converted into cash. I'm still hoping too that bitcoin will be used as a mode of payment when it comes to purchasing real-estate. Here in our country, there's some island that accepted bitcoin as a mode of payment for their services offer.

mining gear or mining supplies is about all I ever got.

years ago some amazon gift cards used mostly for gear..

The "BTC, ETH, and LTC" logo shirt I purchased with cryptocurrency was back in 2018. It's been a good five years, and I rarely wear it now because it's faded a bit. The shirt is neatly tucked away in my wardrobe, and I won't part with it because it's the first item I ever bought with crypto.

I'm more inclined to buy various premium services like VPNs and occasionally hosting and domains using crypto, but digital assets can't be compared like a physical item. Hence, the shirt stands as a tangible moment of my journey to earning money through cryptocurrency.

As for transaction acceptance, I once sold mobile phone credit and the buyer paid with DOGE. Is that considered weird?

Yes, Bitcoin has proved its worth for long time. Other types of crypto have lost relevance but Bitcoin has proved to be useful till now. It is used  for payments, to buy services and even for offline e purchased on stores in some countries. It will always be more practical than something like NFT with no real use case.

Yes, I also see many people always giving such advice to others, but ironically, they themselves still hold bitcoin for profit and never use bitcoin for payment. Are you using bitcoin as a means of payment or are you also here to accumulate bitcoin for profit? Because a lot of people are making great claims like you but they are also holding bitcoin rather than using it for payments. Try asking on this forum and if they answer honestly, how many people would consider bitcoin a currency?

LOL, Damn coins are a disaster that I have also bought.
There were even many that I bought back then by exchanging some BTC, ETH, and USDT to buy them and they ended up being useless junk in my personal wallet.
I even did my research and the coin was good in the beginning but when the hype was over the coin sank and became worthless.

But that's still nothing compared to my other purchases, which used thousands of dollars of my own funds to buy an NFT for a P2E game I was hoping to make.
But in fact, when a few weeks passed along with the bitcoin price entering a bearish trend, everything collapsed and even the NFT was worthless until now.
This silly thing even made me have no more capital at that time and had to get up again to start from scratch.

That will be a lesson, that the best investment is in Bitcoin and top altcoins like ETH, not in new coins that will only scam in time.

If the question is about strange items, maybe I haven't bought strange items using crypto so far because every item I have bought so far and in the past has always used fiat money. Even though the fiat money comes from my work in crypto, I never buy things that other people might consider strange other than those things that I really need for myself in life. And if what you are telling me is something that happened two years ago, try making another agreement with that person now, maybe he will be willing to accept your agreement for now.

Most people buy usual services only. Like me also prefer to pay for online services aith BItcoin only. It helps me track payments also.

My country is very anti-strange things, I don't know what goods you mean that can be called strange, even though Bitcoin is considered strange by most people, there is nothing Bitcoin on the market that looks strange.

In my country Bitcoin payments are provided legally, such as in some restaurants and others, even though Bitcoin is not fully recognized by the government, but Bitcoin can still be used generally by its users, to be honest I have never traded with Bitcoin to buy strange things.
