I would buy a house

Bitcoins are the wrong thing for that. If you want a house you need to start with a red paperclip instead  Cheesy

I have very few bitcoins, and it becomes more difficult to mine them.

I wouldn't buy anything unless I start receiving income in bitcoins or they become expensive enough to buy something decent like a car or a house Smiley

If I start receiving salary or other significant income in bitcoins, then I would buy everything needed for life just like I do with fiat money. Though if I receive both fiat money and bitcoins, then I would spend fiat money first Smiley

I would like to hang on to my BitCoins and watch their value fluctuate, as if I had bought some NASDAQ stock.  But I hear that's bad for their valuation.  So is selling them off for RL cash, from what I've read.

Nothing. I would wait untill they're 500$ ea.

(approx 2years from now)

so with 1 bitcoin you'll buy a whole computer or something? maybe a big tv? it will be good if by then major retailers are accepting them directly.

Why not, sir.

Would there be interest in buying Amazon and Newegg type items for slightly over their prices (3% for example) similar to precious metals?

I would like to use bitcoins instead of credit card payments. I never liked to give out my credit card number via internet.

I know I'm going to be exchanging it for dollars, and then buying more miners from Newegg. Pure profit industry.

Hookers are tangible services (you don't get to keep them).

skadoosh00 I would think the showing off would be worth 5 minutes.

If infrastructure were in place such that bitcoins could be exchanged similar to a credit card transaction, or payable by phone, how long does it take for an exchange of BTC to clear?
The new Android client (and possibly others) allow for NFC style payments, so it may be close enough. The transaction will appear as soon as the next block or two are found, but may not be confirmed for many hours. A day is a safe bet, depending upon your appetite for risk.

there are a couple of reputable services for gold and silver i believe. i don't think they do platinum or palladium though.

not sure what they are charging, i think one of them charges 3% above spot...i havent looked into it all that much. but precious metals would prob be one of the only things id buy..

for now, all mine are tied up in trading, i plan to store profit i dont reinvest in precious metals.
