To be very honest, from your post I realized that I never used Bitcoin as a payment method. I never paid for anything using Bitcoin in my life. This might change in future though.
I have always bought Bitcoin as an investment and continue to HODL, instead of spending it by using it as a mode of payment. I have just paid for Copper Membership via BTC that also in 2021.

I think it was a video game and I regret it. This was back in 2015 when they all said BTC was dying. I ended up paying $60 for a game when Bitcoin’s value was under $200, so you guessed it - I paid around a quarter BTC on a game because I thought BTC will only continue to fall and die so why not spend it all.
I’ll always regret this decision but I can’t do anything about it other than find the transaction, print it, frame it and hang it on a wall to remind myself of how stupid I am sometimes. Lesson learned, a hard one every time I look at BTC’s price and think about how much money I could’ve had if I kept it instead of spending it.

My first purchase was a domain and a service from Fiver back when Fiver was still accepting Bitcoin that was the time that I made up my mind that I'm going to leave Paypal and Solidtrustpay to support the usage of Bitcoin and get to know more about Bitcoin, and but not directly from my Bitcoin profit I purchase a motorbike and a small parcel of lot, I trade my profit from Bitcoin and converted it to our local currency.
Until now I still pay my bill using Bitcoin but not directly I have to convert it to my local currency as the providers do not accept Bitcoin directly.
My dream is if the coin I'm holding right now makes 10 times the profit I will buy a farm build a house there and retire there's a lot of hustle living in a city and I'm putting my trust in Bitcoin that this will happen.

I haven't purchased any stuff yet with the little bitcoin that I bought. This is because I am holding it and don't have plans to buy anything yet. Maybe when I join a signature campaign,I can get excited when I see that every week my wallet will increase with a specific amount of btc. I believe I will purchase something,to get the experience and feelings.What was your first purchase in btc that was a special event for you : it was nice, cute, exciting or great.

If you hodli and have reached your target,you can spend a little fraction because it wouldn't affect your investment portfolio OR you can diversify little fraction into other assets.Quote
If you're a dreamer, what would be your dream ?
My dream is that when I have accumulated enough bitcoin above my targeted portfolio,I will use from fraction to buy a house for my family so that I will not forget about what I used bitcoin to achieve. June 28, 2023, 03:16:45 AM
I can still remember the very reason why I got into Bitcoin and that was to join a "ponzi" type of program which of course ended up to be a scam. Now, I was then so native when I enter the world of online thinking that all the hypes and promises by famous money programs at that time will really get me so rich so quickly - of course, I paid my tuition fee and never again! Aside from that, I also bought some "red flag" type of shitcoin called as TBC or The Billion Coin - well the very name in itself can be a big discouraging factor and it ended up with all of us not getting our billions.

I was excited, the first Bitcoin purchase became successful and that money came from starving myself through my pocket money, I went through big hardships to make my crypto dream come true and a year later I started enjoying the fruit of my labor, this journey turns my soft ass into a hard ambitious ass and I am proud about everything.

The exact feeling I felt back then was I am not investing enough, I hardly have a 100$ invested in Bitcoin at that time and I was still able to make a lot with that small amount that I invested through hardship, it's a time that I can't ever forget.

I think my first purchase of Bitcoin was way back 2016. If I remember it right I got it from somebody close to me. I didn't buy it from a centralized exchange or a decentralized exchange. I gave him money; he sent the coins directly to my wallet.
I'm generally a hodler, but it doesn't mean I don't ever spend my coins. I'm a hodler because the bulk of my coins I intend to keep for a long time. But it doesn't mean I don't have a certain amount of Bitcoin to spend or convert or even trade once in a while.

I haven't sold my BTC, but I definitely will at some point. I wish I'll be able to buy a house with it, maybe even a car too, I wouldn't sell it for anything less than that.

My first purchase as I remember was some game credits, which is really unforgettable moment of my Bitcoin journey.(....)
And yes, I hodl also and I also plan to spend my Bitcoin in the future, it depends on what will be on it. I am treating Bitcoin right now as an investment and the same time as an emergency fund.
Bitcoin also helped me to purchase my brand new laptop because but what happened here is I have savings that in Bitcoin, and that Bitcoin I converted to fiat and buy brand new laptop, because they are not accepting Bitcoin as mode of payment.

If I recall it correctly, it was an Iphone that I gifted for my daughter back then, so it has sentimental value.
And up to know, although there are new versions of Iphone, my daughter still uses it. Although I'm thinking of buying her a new phone since she graduated already, but I have to wait for the bull run though so that it will be worth it.

My first Bitcoin purchase was a really special event that I still remember even now, despite its simplicity.
I bought gems in the PUBG game for my children via bitcoin and they were very happy. I am from a banned country and I cannot buy from the game directly so I contacted an intermediary and sent bitcoin and he sent the gems to my children's account.
Yes, this may be very simple, but it is a nice memory because it is the first purchase and also because I knew practically how Bitcoin can help people in countries that are prohibited for online payments.

My first purchase in bitcoin is probably the Batman Black and White from Iron Studios, the price of bitcoin at that time was around 20k and I spent about 1/3 of what I hodl at that time to buy the figurine, pretty awesome purchase and worth the money I spent on it but not a moving purchase though, I don't think I have found an item that will move me anytime soon. My dream would probably to buy myself a 2-storey house entirely with bitcoin. What was your first purchase in btc that was a special event for you : it was nice, cute, exciting or great.

I can't remember my first purchase, but it was probably a laptop or PC, I invested on it because I have some online business going on that time. So I bought it from a website that accepts bitcoin as payment.
And then from time to time I spent it to pay my bills, like electricity, credit cards and others although I have to go to a third party to process it.
Of course everyone here is a dreamer, it could be a home, a good car etc.

This week, I acquired my first Bitcoin, which is a milestone for me.
am now a bitcoin investor(first purchase)
How I decided to buy some fractions of BTC after discussion with members here
Investing in Bitcoin with Tiffin money of my college life.
Helped my neighbor to purchase some Bitcoins

My First Bitcoin on the New Year Day 2023.
My First Purchases of Bitcoin
My first investment for Bitcoin
Am now a bitcoin investor
I care more about what people do next after they made their first purchases. Where did they store their first BTC?
In online accounts such as their centralized exchange accounts, in custodial wallets (they don't have private keys) or in non custodial wallets (they own private keys).
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

My first ever purchase with Bitcoin is related to online services (VPN and stuff like that). It was really cheap compared to other options I had back then. After that though, I buy some other things like gadgets, TV, and so on. The most impactful purchase is definitely my laptop. It allows me to work more efficiently, with lower electricity consumption and allows me to venture into content creation and stuff like that.
I had charged a friend's phone plan with the maximum, 20 dollars, the equivalent of a monthly salary in his country.
20 dollars for a month as a standard salary is very low, isn't it? Hopefully, your friend will find better opportunities soon and earn a lot more than that.

It was back in 2017 when I made some money off trading shitcoins (ICOs). The first things I thought about were electronic gadgets, as I had just moved into a new house. So I did buy a home theater sound system, TV, good laptop and smartphone among others
Those old days were perfect in terms of personal development. Progress happened so fast, to an extent, that some people started wondering what I was doing for a living.

I haven't been able to keep a lot of bitcoin as an investment plan yet, not because I don't want to, but because I need to first live a comfortable life, and my family around me is doing well with the little I earn from this forum through signature campaigns. I have huge plans for bitcoin investing in the future, but for now, I'm content to see myself and my family living a more comfortable and happy life than we did previously.
Invest just what you can afford to lose, as the saying goes. It will be far better if I invest and do not return to my investments for everyday needs than if I invest and then consume from my investments on a daily basis. Amidst this, I have great plans for bitcoin investment and to hold for a long time and I’m very much hopeful that I’m going to achieve that soon.

It has been a while since I earned my first bitcoin, and I have also bought a lot of lovely things that I can't get my eyes on every time I remember how I acquired them through bitcoin. As a result, I can't remember what my first bitcoin buy was. However, there is one action I performed that I am happy of, and that is being able to launch a side business for my mother with the weekly BTC payment I have been receiving. Even just thinking about it makes me happy.
We need cute stories in that corrupt world !
Bitcoin is a magic tool
