I believe in some nations, you can do buy things with bitcoin if the law permits it not all nation accepts it although some nation sees it as a store of value and can be traded but not for exchange for services. Here in my country 1 bitcoin means a lot and can buy reasonable assets if only it is possible or you see someone into crypto willing to do such transaction with you but the reverse is the case as it is not common too here. Many vendors are yet to get acquainted with bitcoin and as such do not have the knowledge  of it and would be the last thought they will ever harbor in their mind to do. I can say what we do here is p2p measures to trading of bitcoin for fiat and that is all. Although there are few vendors that accept bitcoin but i have not come in contact with them and not until i do so then i would say it for sure but for the now i am yet to encounter such.

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.

It's because bitcoin is not yet universally accepted, that's why your seller of the real estate refuses to accept crypto as payment. But it's good that you have ask your real estate agent, at least he has a idea what bitcoin is and who knows, maybe in the next couple of years, they will have to put a "Bitcoin accepted here" logo.

And with that, I haven't bought anything weird with crypto. Although I uses it to pay my monthly dues as I'm using a 3rd party (I know it's sucks, it should be p2p), but still good on my end. Dues like electricity, home and cable internet, to even water.

I cannot say I have ever used bitcoin for anything weird .  Truth is, I try not to spend crypto on even normal stuff if I can avoid it.  I will use regular money instead.  Really the only times I break down and use crypto is if its gonna be better for me money-wise or it makes the payment easier or more convenient for some reason.

I never even think too much about what to purchase with crypto, let alone one weird thing to purchase with it. Am still thinking about the best strategic approach and keeping a keen observation of the market to make a purchase of BTC for keeps and for a 'trading till pro program' in addition.
Besides the above stated, I rather use regular fiat for any wierd stuff I really want to acquire.

Wayback into couple of years or lets say 3-5 years then the thing i do remember on buying up  with my Bitcoin isnt really that something weird but rather its some common items on which you could really be able to do so wayback. I have been able to buy steam wallet codes on that time using up with my Bitcoin and since im an esports player then it is really that giving that kind of convenience on which i havent experienced before knowing that buying something online will automatically be meaning that you would really be needing to use up some debit/credit card on which into those times i dont really have one. So it is really that a hassle thing.
Later on which i do make out some realization that it is really just that a waste of Bitcoin if i would really be that continuing on doing so and since we arent that blind not to see its potential then it would really be just that a waste if you do really keep on spending it.Yes, for the sake of circulation and totally using about its utility then its good but since we are really that aiming for making profits then it is really just that a normal approach
that you would really be saving it up and hold it for long term.

Even that which you exemplified in OP isn’t something weird but rather, an investment of real value. When we talk about weird, it doesn’t necessarily mean it would be one without value but, one that sounds strange that one might spend his or her money on.

I might say NFTs and that would be in a scenario for those that don’t like art but, as a digital art and not some investment, common, we wouldn’t be doing that.

Well, I’ve not gotten the opportunity to engage in any form of a direct cryptocurrency exchange for products or services and I don’t see myself doing that anytime soon. I remain deep rooted in the hold system at the moment and at this time, I think I’m seeing results.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
I don't remember too many weird things. I bought a computer in 2019 which probably costed me 3 times more than I'd want it. At that time bitcoin was pushing towards 14k and I thought that would be a good idea to spend some and for another year i thought it really was a good idea, but then 2021 came and bitcoin rose by 300% from that 2019 top, but you only live once. I still have that computer Cheesy

I don't think I have bought anything weird using Bitcoin, why would I? If I’m spending my bitcoins, it has to be on something that’s worth it not dumb stuff. There isn’t a lot of things one can buy with bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency in my country, though I have managed to pay for with bitcoins is a online subscription service. I hope more businesses would adopt bitcoin payment.

I bought computer games. Back in the day you could get a Humble Bundle subscription for bitcoin that allowed you to get a lot of games on Steam for very little money.
I also bought myself a lot of Amazon gift cards and using that got our whole kitchen equipped with appliances. My wife was especially happy with the coffee machine Wink

Buy on Amazon with Crypto

Cryptocurrency is not legal in the country where I live. Can't buy anything directly with cryptocurrency in my country but can convert to my local currency via P2P. I have not been connected to this forum for a long time I have been connected here for a short time. But I spent my first earnings on my parents. I bought a Punjabi for my father and a saree for my mother. Besides, as I had my first income, I bought sweets for the family. My mother was very happy to buy my first earning money. I started working here and started earning hopefully I can buy more good things in future with crypto currency.

I can't specifically say I have bought something directly with cryptocurrency but rather I have traded my BTC to my local fiat to buy my Smartphone I am currently using now and I am very proud of it to have used bitcoin to purchased my phone. This is to show how helpful the cryptocurrency space has been to me especially bitcoin precisely, this shows my undying love for it.

However, I would have tried buying something directly using crypto but it was a facebook I saw those things but I was like this could likely be a scam since most of this online shopping aren't real most times we ended up being scammed for not being careful so I decided to decline the whole process and that was how I didn't proceed again.

from the beginning i invested in bitcoin, fortunately i never brought something weird using bitcoin. indeed, once i wanted to buy an item using bitcoin because the price was quite cheap, but because of the delivery from abroad i was reluctant to buy it. if only at that time the item was sent from my country, maybe i would be interested in buying the item using the bitcoin that i was holding.

Almost similar case with you, I don’t fancy buying stuffs with bitcoin even though it is the primary purpose of it (maybe I am using it wrongly  Smiley). The only time I think of buying things with bitcoin is mostly something online that needs to be shipped from another country or probably some subscriptions that will actual have to cost me maybe time in converting from my local currency to another currency, so I am obliged to use bitcoin. In cases of local transactions seriously it is Kinda of hard for me to use bitcoin to purchase things when my fiat can easily do that and my precious bitcoin will be left untouched. But sometimes I actually had to use it for local transactions just to at least support the business for using bitcoin as a payment method.

I don't think I have bought anything specially weird using Bitcoin or other alternative Cryptocurrencies. The weirdest I have done is to pay for phone credit and also get some Steam gifts cards for a friend of mine, who lives abroad.

Nowadays, thanks the the high liquidity and the interest the public in general can get, Bitcoin is not longer an asset used to buy for outlawed goods and services but mostly aimed to people who does not trust their national banks or who does not have access to banking as others do. Nowadays, if criminals want to deal with crypto, they are more likely to use privacy enhancing assets or go with off chain transactions instead.

Nothing, besides I don't really think it's strange that every item I buy uses Bitcoin as a payment medium, the items I buy are part of my needs. Real Estate, Cars, motorbikes, computers and so on are part of life's necessities. I don't understand what you think is strange, if you mean something strange like something that is useless, I will not throw away Bitcoin in exchange for that thing.

Nowadays, most people in our country do not prioritize real estate. Even the majority of crypto enthusiasts who are just starting out in this business field of the crypto space do not prioritize it. Especially with Bitcoin halving and bull runs coming.

For sure, to the understanding crypto believers in this time and opportunity, even if they can buy real estate, I am pretty sure that they will prioritize or choose even me to accumulate crypto that is top-listed in the market, or Bitcoin. I guess I'll be more practical with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for now.

I have not gotten anything weird with bitcoins but I have seen weird things that people accept bitcoins for.

On reddit, I have read stories of how a reddittor had a chat with another reddittor that told him he met a vendor for drugs on reddit and the vendor only accepted crypto for payment so they can maintain their anonymity. I find this weird.

Such things were known to be sold on darknet before but now those sellers are expanding their dirty business and selling such things directly to public on social media sites like Reddit. The sellers who sell such things like drugs will most probably accept Bitcoin and Monero as a way of payment because they know how to be safe from the authorities by selling their dirty drugs to the public when accepting those crypto-currencies.

I can say that such things are very weird but those sellers mostly sell drugs to local public and they accept fiat as well for their negative activities. I hope that number of such sellers will reduce and because of those people some so-called authorities and their spokesperson say wrong things about Bitcoin and neglect the fact that most of the drugs are purchased with fiat not with Bitcoin or any other crypto-currency.

I started crypto in the year 2019 and in that era im into the way of altcoins, and every time i saw a store accepting an online mode of payment, i asked them if there was any chance that you would accept crypto for your service but sad to say that didn't answer at all because they don't know yet whats the crypto, well we cannot blame them because they just keeping their daily routine in work. Now those stores accepting crypto as payment are now proudly they are offering this kind of payment method.

There's nothing weird about using cryptocurrency to purchase real estate, as it holds just as much value as traditional fiat currency. And I don't recall ever purchasing anything unusual using crypto-currency. Weird things often come from strange dealings with unusual people who may have peculiar interests like those found on the dark web.
