So whats the most Expensive thing you have bought with bitcoin, some people may have different standards of how expensive is something.
i up to you to say i bought a Rolex watch with bitcoin, or you paid for a hotel suite.


So what is the most expensive thing you have bought with BTC?

Lots of shares in bitcoin startups. :P

Sadly it was a very unwise investment...

The most expensive thing I bought with bitcoin was an all out resort getaway to Cancun! All Expenses paid with BTC!

I didn't buy anything expensive yet, but maybe someday I can use it to buy a house :)

My web hosting for a year. £120 worth.

Not a huge amount but enough.

A few Gridseed's, worth around 5 Bitcoins, most of them resold locally... :)

I hold more then spend so probably the most expensive thing was a Counter strike : Global offensive Gift from steam with about 10$ (not sure how much BTC is that back then)

in digital section i have bought a lot of altcoins, and for physical goods it was a iphone5 , my biggest purchase with bitcoin

A computer, worth maybe $500.

Not counting the things I bought with money I've earned with Bitcoin, but I needed to sell the bitcoin first(so maybe FIAT has been the most expensive thing?)

500 in gift cards for Amazon using Gyft

ten zenhashlets (yeah) worth 20$ each. you can guess how that story ends..  

I bought GTA V for $36. Not that much.

Hey your user's picture caused me to think you were Vod for a second.

I haven't bought anything physical. I've only bought other alts. Maybe when I have more i'll considering buying something physical, but it will most likely require that i convert to fiat first anyway.

Not sure but it was probably an ssd for my laptop. I've paid around ~250$ in btc.

altcoins and more BTC, nothing in the real world just yet

I also thought he was Vod for a second too!

Anyways, I bought a physical Bitcoin for 1.2k USD

So how long have you worked for the IRS? Are you an IRS LE agent or just an auditor? lol

Just trying to see what have all this none tax payers have bought with their bitcoin earnings to tax them after! lmao jking.

is just that i know a few people that hold a good amount of btc and they haven't bought anything with it or done anything to reinvest just nothing at all.

A startup camera & kit as a gift for my child to start his photography career.  ;)

When I started out, I bought some ASIC's but it got sold very quickly, before I came even near to ROI. It was a total bust... late delivery etc etc.

Since then, a few gadgets to play around with... but nothing extremely expensive. I also dumped a few coins into cloud miining when it was still the trend.

Now, I hoard and buy small things like coffee and lunch. {mexican food}

Wow there sir Relax count to 10, we all different experiences with bitcoin when it comes to buying or paying for something, if you dont like it you dont have to come out like a jerk about it, save your self from the forum!

well i have bought digital goods using bitcoin
i bought surf points and mobile load

Honestly, I have not bought all that much with bitcoin.  I have only been "in the game" for a good 4 months or so.  :D  So I guess it would be a steam key for the newest Far Cry game.  If I remember correctly it was like 25-30 USD worth of bitcoin.  Great game, by the way.  ;D

Well at lease you got a buying experience that counts, at some points the bitcoin buy experience is turning to be a lot more easier and fast then the fiat buying experience of course not in all scenarios.

Believe it  or not a used KNC Titan miner (used 4 months march 6th) I was told the guy just wanted his orig BTC back on or above what he paid vs what he
had mined with the unit at that time. I think it was at the time of negotiation unused sitting in a corner  due to heat (Australia outback) and elec was 34c kwh or some such
..so it was in an a/c vs space heater war with his air conditioning in the apartment he had  I think and losing...also he was traveling a lot ..so I think it was probably shut off in a corner
at the time of our conversation on buying it...he had also burned out some PSU's from the heat I think..previous to this and to be fair the heat was probably making
the unit a really touchy beast to keep up too boot.

again imho he got this knc unit via an upgrade of a neptune (nov 2013) with coin he likely mined on a knc jupiter or some such at probably 1 BTC
every 2 days.thus we are talking his investment was 2 weeks of mining BTC for the unit paid with BTC (prob 10) at the nov 2013 BTC 1k prices he later (as I did dumb for me as well)
upgraded it to a KNC Titan scrypt miner instead ..but with no refund was stuck like all us Titan users with it 4 months late (if you count WORKING frimware as I do)

so I said sure ..sent him 2.3 BTC for the whole thing ..which I gather got him to his original coin back
..was originally  just gonna get some cubes..but wtf even if it half way worked was a good deal for the whole works
...the USD PRICE at the time if I remember was $569.00 this was my total price of what 2.3 btc was worth at xfer
 of which $267 was shipping..which was included in the price of 2.3 btc

so with what he mined those 4 months or so and/or and my 2.3 btc he likely got the BTC he originally paid for it at the 1000 usd plus of nov 2013
and was probably pissed off just dealing with it ...also I suspect he was a whale and has drunk the kool aid so would have held the BTC paid (say 10 BTC)
back in nov 2013 anyway on the original purchase...so wtf he got his BTC back and washed his hands of the whole KNC experience

I works fine FULL OUT gets 375.0 mh in 4 cube mode unlike my original titan (with 1 dead die on two different cubes that knc will not RMA if only 1 dead die per cube)

that and my orig titan of with 2 bad dies I get 650.1 mh on the works

to say I won the lottery is an understatement ..then again it is cool where I am even in summer in basement and 12c kwh electric

but anyway I doubt as the most I spent BTC as a currency story in this thread the above can be beat.....I was damn damn lucky and know it :)

by the by as a joke a month or two previous i told him when in the future it was not worth mining anymore I would take a cube or two ( I was gonna mine
my orig titan past doorstop status at an electric loss ..I have no life after home mining (too true) so would probably stall...

Of course I expected it like 9 months later then march 6th rather then the 2 months previous

just goes to show ..you never know when an off hand  half serious future offer may or may not be acted upon..hell it was mostly just a joke tossed out there

but anyway the most BTC I've ever spent was 2.3 BTC and got the above on march 6th 2015

good luck hope you all have such dumb and I know it was really really dumb luck on my part ...thus my probably too long for this thread story :)

also to balance out the suspected posts on here of BTC sent towards say asic equipment that never arrived I suspect this is an unlikely outcome in the other direction
for such in the way of dumb luck!

ouch man, I think this topic is for open discussion and he has the right to ask whatever he pleases. You care to go through his post history to see what he buys, so why cant he asked what you buy. Don't be such a jerk, thats not healthy.

The most expensive thing that i bought with btc is Iphone 5s. Now im earning to a vacation in Galapagos.

i think my desktop, which is above 1k euro, but sadly i didn't payed in bitcoin directly, i dumped first, to buy it

otherwise the most expensive thing that i bought with btc directly it was a rent for a farm, so not technically a buy but still...

the most expensive things that i bought with bitcoin are many altcoins over the time that i used bitcoin, but they are not that expensive. i wanted to buy pizza with bitcoin on the pizza day but sadly there is no pizza place which accepts bitcoin nearby :(

mmm i would like ot forget it because was a scam, but the most expensive thing i bought with BTC was a contract on a cloudminning.

obviously as i sayd was a scam so i lost all my BTC :(

I haven't yet decided to buy any such expensive things so far with my bitcoins, however I would buy another expensive Bitcoins gold again if I decided. However I recently found that exchange rates of Bitcoins are some what down rather than expected couple of months back. Hope to see very high competitive rates of Bitcoin in near future.

I actually bought a used mini cooper back in dec 2013 back then the price was in a good point to buy expensive items has such, but besides that nothing else expensive i ratter use my fiat earnings to pay for everything and save my btc when the great value comes.

The bitcoin. help me for my pocket money.!!!

I was one of the first CEX.io users and I bought almost 1 TB of BTC instead of buying my own hardware equipment (I know, I'm an idiot) for 3 BTC; when the CEX.io crisis came up, I lost almost 2.2 BTC because of my stupidity.

Then I started investing in P2P loans without control and lost 3 BTC more, since I learned from my mistakes (happily) I recovered all my investments and here I am today :), happy to tell you this story that nobody gives a fuck.

i havent bought an expensive thing with bitcoin. But i just usually buy something that the price just around 5 ~ 20 $ worth of btc

probably some LTC asics that was never produced..  ::)

also did some shopping right before the move up to $1000, that stuff turned out to be quite expensive.  :o

PIZZA, hope for a Lambo in the near future ::)

I bought Perfectmoney USD ....... and it's a great mistake in my life

In 2012 I exchanged 800 bitcoins @ average $7.6 & got about $6080 in my Perfectmoney account.

Then I traded Forex in Liteforex.com & only made about $8900. So, I made profits $2820. Then I cashed out all money via a Perfectmoney exchanger.

So, 800 bitcoin is most expensive I think.

As far as I'm earning bitcoin, the highest amount of bitcoin that I've spend is treat my office friend , Pizza and JCo.
In the future , I'm wanted to buy PS 4 with my bitcoin effort  ;D.

Honestly my office friend did not believe that bitcoin also can be spend like real money and I've explained how does they work.
Finally they were amazed and feel unexpected.

Several antminers over the last year or so.

Instead of buying things from bitcoins or bitcoins-money, I chose to invest it in a start-up business. And if things remain as expected, then I will be able to buy many things.  ;D

The most expensive thing I've bought with bitcoin is, well, bitcoin! Casascius baby!

A fairly nice amount to have paid out for a computer in bitcoin.

OP I've still not brought anything like that un bitcoin related I mean lol but I have brought things like miners and gadgets, biggest spend was around 10btc for miners.

My most expensive thing I have brought though is altcoins and most of them have done well enough for me to keep investing when a gem comes along.

An alpha-tech bitcoin miner... I have been lucky enough to sell it a long time ago though... not having to face the drama ;)

i bought a chinese smartphone from dinodirect being worth nearly $100 which is still my highest bitcoin purchase. i think it will stay my highest purchase amount for a while.

10 GAW Furys on week 2 of release...smh terrible buy

Casascius coins. Outside of the crypto world, a couple of mobile phones and I paid a computer repairman to save my laptop.

I bought a Fender electric guitar costing 3 BTC, this may not be too expensive for you.

$500 amazon gyft card.

I haven't purchased anything with Bitcoin yet, though I am tempted to buy some vouchers so that I can purchase some wares.

I'm intrigued by these little coffee shop type places that accept Bitcoin, though I hear that some of them openly accept coin payments, while others just offer it to be part of the scene...

You might find the experience a little painful depending on how savvy they are. Lots of people repeatedly report that they were the first person to ever transact in such places and usually had to babysit the person taking the payment. Still, a cool thing to try.

well is a bit funny actually, coffee shops have turned into a hipster hangout the follow trends now in days well not every where at lease in some major cities like New york and Los angeles you will find a hipster coffee shop that takes bitcoin.

A PS4 and more junk Altcoin then I would like to admit.  ;)
The most expensive thing I have ever DONE with BTC is spend them on gambling in 2011.

I never bought anything that big. But I'm always using bitcoin to load my cellphone.. and also once used the bitcoin to pay hospital bills.

I bought several Antminers from Bitmain. This was my most expensive thing I bought with Bitcoins, but it was like investment which was good and bring me more bitcoins and some value.

A year of VPN service is at the top of my list.  A $50 gift card for Amazon from Gyft is number 2.
