Yeah, I've put 1 BTC on the next bitcoin lottery. Gonna get rich quick!

But seriously, without real merchants this is going to be the biggest flop since the Amsterdam Tulip Market  Tongue



Ironically, if Bitcoins are to be worth holding long-term, their price will eventually need to stabilize to encourage real trade. Otherwise everyone will hoard their "valuable" coins until it's all too late.


Too late? too late for what?  gold and silver aren't used often for money now, but they are still valuable to trade. Bitcoins will almost always have some utility value or collector's value as the first crypto-currency (virtual antiques!).

Yes, we need more merchants. I will become one just as soon as I accumulate a BTC stash big enough to work with. I imagine many other "hoarders" will do the same.

Unfortunately I lost 5 btc on a gambling website. I also won a large amount on that site, so I'm ahead. Look, they even mentioned me. "Congratulations ...HCbaNe7 who turned 3.00 BTC into 11.53 BTC." That's me. Not going to gamble any more though.

Anyway, I also bought a $20 shirt with btc.

My biggest transaction was a domain name I sold for 30BTC a few months ago.

Has anyone bought from Bitcoin Amazon? http://coinbits.com/want-to-buy-something-on-amazon-want-to-pay-with-bitcoins/
or used the Amazon bitcoin-cashback scheme? https://bitcoinbonus.com/content/get-2-or-more-your-purchase-price-back-amazon

Is there a leaderboard of the largest BTC transactions for real-world items?
What's the largest purchase of a real-world item (not money) that you have made in BTC?
