Bitcoin is illegal and banned where I live. So it is not possible to buy something using Bitcoin/crypto here. But I have purchased something using Bitcoin but it wasn't that weird. I have bought two stuffs. One is a subscription for express VPN and another is for an antivirus called kaspersky. Express VPN accepts crypto payment which is built in where I had to buy the subscription for kaspersky from a third party seller. They are not something that you can consider being weird but I am happy to be able to buy those using crypto.

I'm still not sure when Bitcoin will be legal here. I want to buy more things using Bitcoin in the near future. It is simple easy and way more secure than other traditional payment methods. So if it's available in everything then it will be a game changer.

I think it's fine to call shit coins some weird things too, I traded my precious gold (BTC) for some shit coins thinking that they are going to be the next big and better Bitcoin, I was dead wrong, so many people are looking for the next Bitcoin and I was one of them until those altcoins start sinking deep to no return.

I was even a bad person at doing good research on projects, maybe if I was as good as I am today it will still favour me and not turn to complete loss, the worst thing anyone can do is swap their Bitcoin for anything else, they will regret doing so very soon.

Every other things that I bought using Bitcoin are for my needs so they can't be called weird, back in those days when Bitcoin was cheap many people used their Bitcoin to do stupid things, but that's because it was very cheap, today it's very pricey, one will have to think twice before doing anything with their Bitcoin.

The fact that cryptocurrency is being linked to real-world assets like real estate shows how the economy is changing. But, demanding extra money to accept crypto? This is an example of how highly uncertain and volatile digital currencies are still. If buyers think crypto is risky, they will try to protect themselves from that risk. This looks like what they're doing. Even though crypto is breaking new ground and pushing the limits, there are still problems and doubts that keep it from being fully accepted.

Whats the weirdest thing I've bought with crypto? A porn membership. You did hear that right. But thats both the beauty and the complexity of crypto: it can be used for almost anything, from buying land to more... private pleasure. But the real question we should be asking is: what does the usage of crypto for these types of purchases signify about the direction of our modern economy?

What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto?
if I was to buy a weird object or thing with my bitcoin it would be a cat. That's sounds weird, right? But unfortunately the possibility is not in view right now as there are no stores in my locality that accepts bitcoin for exchange of goods and services and this is due to the government restrictive measures. Cheers to the future maybe by then the restrictions must have been lifted and my bitcoin would have gained much more profitable value for me that I might not be thinking of getting a cat with a part of it anymore but something not really weird like a storey building with a pool and gym , that sounds like a retirement plan, right.

The word "weird" may or might mean different things for different people, this is to say that what you may or might consider as weird may or may not be the same for me or for another person, but all the same, let me just say that since i became crypto savvy, i have only bought one thing and paid for it in full with bitcoin, and that is the motor bike i am currently using, there are so many other times i have tried buying some minor stuffs online and paying with bitcoin, but along the line, or just about making payment, i end up changing my mind.

And this reminds me, it is possible to buy some petty stuff online and pay with bitcoin and some other supported cryptocurrencies through shopping.io, though countries supported in terms of shipping is still somehow limited for now.

In a deal, 2 years ago, I asked the seller of a real estate project, if he will accept crypto for plot but he demanded some extra money for this deal. So, I was not able to close the deal but may be in future, I can buy something unique with crypto.

I don't remember exactly what items were purchased with Bitcoin because basically currently when you want to use Bitcoin to buy something you have to first exchange it for fiat because there aren't many shops that provide payment with Bitcoin and as far as I remember the only time I used Bitcoin directly was when I wanted to buy credit for cellphones and buy a domain and renew the domain at one of the domain providers that provides payment in Bitcoin, the rest must be exchanged first.

I bought a necklace with a real gilded butterfly with Gold edging, but after closer inspection.. (when the necklace broke) ..it turned out that the Gold was simply Gold colored and not actual 24ct Gold as advertised. (They coated it with a epoxy coating, so that you have to break it to be able to test it)  Roll Eyes

In any way, it was the thought that counted and the recipient were very happy with the gift. I also bought some tokens for a rat race, where rats competed in a maze.  Cheesy

Nothing weird here too although I happened to buy a mystery box from Theb, bought a pair of sneakers from hilariousandco, bought some game code from TheButterZone, and bought some physical coins from minerjones.  Aside from that I also bought some gadgets and hosting services using Bitcoin.  Those were not weird stuff and I enjoy spending BTC to buy things that I am interested in.
I don't think that any of the forum users will ever admit to buying something really weird with their bitcoin unless they're a savage that doesn't care about the consequences or what others would then they might just do it, they're still anonymous to some degree. For me, I haven't bought anything big and worth sharing yet, maybe some gift cards here and there is my only purchase with bitcoins, most of the time I convert it to USDT or trade it P2P so I can use that money to pay for my bills or just spend on other stuff.

                                       It is rare to see people that have bought weird things using bitcoin when you as OP also have no
Weird purchase from your coins, and actually we even harder to find purchasing power from Bitcoin because of its limit(should
I say fewer accepting BTC as payment so what more the weird one? a simple question of what we have bought from our crypto
is enough to attract legit users of this precious coin.

                                      Only some purchase i made from my BTC like Netflix sharer account Since I only use 1 gadget
to watch movies, and some Online games and services from my trusted seller, that does not even count as weird thing
but I must proudly say that I used my coins from purchase and will keep using as long as there is availability .

Honestly, I view bitcoin as an investment, a potential future asset, so I have never and do not want to use bitcoin to buy anything. I like to accumulate and will only sell when necessary. I still prefer to use fiat for my payments rather than cryptocurrency, let alone bitcoin. My country doesn't have any bitcoin ban yet, but I still want to keep my investments and assets private. I don't want people around me to know that I'm investing in bitcoin. I think even if bitcoin were legal and used as a means of payment in my country, I wouldn't do it, I prefer privacy.
                                    If all of us will do the same , I think bitcoin will have no value in the future because no one uses
 it instead keep storing their coins in their wallets better to change this views mate and lets circulate some of those and
 keep holding some so the purpose will be served.

Crypto is not accepted where I live much less that I buy weird stuff with it but have paid online (crypto itself, not converted) to buy stuff (mostly intangible) such as vps, doing mobile recharge through sites like bitrefill, buying ecom site giftcards.

It felt weird to purchase something with crypto first time, although the stuff itself might not have been weird.

If I were to answer op's question broadly, laszlo's pizza purchase with BTC takes the cake.

Nothing weird in my experience though. I remember a couple of years ago when I have bought vitamins from my friend on a meetup and asked if he can accept crypto stablecoins like USDT. Since he is not knowledgeable, his straight answer is no and wanted cash.

But I noticed that he has a Coins PH app, so I asked him if we can do the transaction there since it's a custodial crypto wallet. Luckily he said yes, and proceed with the transaction. Definitely not weird for me, but at least he experienced doing crypto transactions for the first time.

Another experience that I have is that during the blockchain event last year, there's a booth in which I can order iced coffee via Trust Wallet (I use ETH by the way) and get whitelisted for their limited edition playable NFT. Overall it was worth $10 including the gas fees.

However, I won't just stop there. I am having plans to visit some stores where they are accepting crypto payments. There are some few merchants here in the city that I can visit for buying their food, drinks, clothing and apparel, etc.

I have nothing weird that I've purchased through Bitcoin. It is always the usual ones that I also used to purchase with cash.
That's why if ever that there's something weird that's been purchased on crypto, I have nothing. Although I watch nonsense videos on YouTube about these content creators telling that they've purchased mystery gifts on the dark web using Bitcoin. However, I know that those were just for contents.

I'm pretty sure the bitcoins you own will be able to be used to buy real estate in the next few years. I am sure because the increase in bitcoin prices is more significant than the increase in real estate prices. So in my opinion you don't need to worry if the bitcoin you have at that time can't be used to buy real estate, you just need to wait a while so that the price of bitcoin gets more expensive and your dream real estate will be bought

Maybe you are lucky to live in a country that legalizes bitcoin as payment, in my country bitcoin payment transactions are prohibited so I have no experience buying goods using bitcoin even though many goods have been purchased from bitcoin after being exchanged into our local currency.

Well, I don't think or have a thing that I brought using cryptocurrency, mainly because in my country, using crypto as payment is still not accepted or regulated. There are some, but they are rare. Things I brought with the help of bitcoin: there are many of them. Thanks to bitcoin investment and trading, I brought many things such as a PC, smartphone, TV, etc. Anything related to electronics, and of course, basic needs and even trips Maybe I don't have stuff brought with the use of bitcoin itself, but I brought what I have right now because of bitcoin and my dedication to earn from it. I know it's the same case for most of us here on this topic. But if, in the future, bitcoin or any crypto can be used as payment, then it would be a good idea; bitcoin will be more useful and powerful if that happens.

I haven't been opportune to buy anything with bitcoin before. Everyone is scared to make it public that they are accepting bitcoin in my country due to an order that was given by the central bank of the country to all commercial banks to freeze all bank accounts that are connected to crypto transactions. If you make an offer to pay for a service with bitcoin, most of them will instantly reject the offer. I am sure there will be some stores or people that will accept bitcoin as a payment method, Maybe they are not just in my location, but if I come across one, I will gladly try it out. I will want to know how it feels to make payments with bitcoin.

I haven't, and I don't anticipate using crypto to "buy something weird."

Given my understanding of crypto, it would be unethical for me to use them to directly purchase something weird, after knowing that I would be charged for them. I'll either convert my crypto to fiat before making any purchases.

I would have said "yes" if you had asked about using fiat to purchase a weird item. In this scenario you are asking off, I don't think I have and I never will. I purchase all of my stuff using fiat money, not crypto.

I think I never considered the items I bought with Bitcoin a weird thing.  They maybe unique in some point but I do not find them weird.  I bought game top-up, it is normal for gamers to buy game top-up and it is never been weird on the gamers part.  I also bought my pc parts, gpu, memory card ssd and the casing with the Bitcoin I earned from the forum.  I buy electricity and water services  with Bitcoin paying the bills with Bitcoin through third party services.  Except from game top ups, I think I only spend BTC to buy commodities, so no weird thing yet.

Unfortunately, currently I have never used a card as a transaction tool to pay for my purchases. because after all crypto is not allowed as a means of payment in my country. Indeed, there are several people here who make payments with Bitcoin or other crypto secretly, but I personally have never done so. I have thought about buying goods from several sites abroad using crypto. but if you think about it again it turns out that shipping costs and other costs are much higher hahaha...

so yeah it's better to just be here. Indeed, this is what is very unfortunate, why closing is not yet legal as a means of payment here. So yes, we really have to be patient, what else is important, the important thing is that crypto is legal here when we want to use it as an investment tool or carry out crypto trading activities.
