Bitcoin Forum

Just wondered what you have bought with Bitcoin?  Or post if you haven't bought anything.

I've bought a glasses case from btcgear.com

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Didgeridoo
DJ MIDI Controller
3 steam games (Borderlands, Counter-Strike: GO, and Serious Sam 3)

Entry to the London conference in September - BTC8,01
Masala chai from the NM Tea Co. - BTC2,33
One Bitcoin wall poster from the London conference - BTC1,00

Gambled a few BTC on sites like betsofbitco.in, dragons.tl, sealswithclubs.eu and so on.

Invested a few BTC here and there, done some trading/speculation.

No alpaca socks but might be interested if they make them a few sizes larger. :)

Might also be interested in, in future: VPN services (my WiTopia expired a while ago); CASASCIUS bitcoins; general silver trades and just, well, buying stuff when more retailers accept BTC. It's money after all.

I bought mainly US dollars. Other than that, some mining contracts and also one t-shirt.

Silver coins, silver bitcoin bullions, bitcoin magazine, tea, honey, CO2 gun, various dropbox accounts: I think that in a year or so I've moved some hundreds of bitcoins.

Drugs.

Dollars. Euros.
Physical bitcoins https://www.casascius.com/

Ah yes, I've bought Bitcoin Magazine issue #4 as well, but paid for it with fiat. How lame is that? :)

Games, physical bitcoins, random items from bitmit and website hosting/domain.
[edit] Graphic desing.

I play poker on Seals with Clubs and convert my winnings to Amazon gift cards via BTCBuy.info. If I were playing for a living, obviously this wouldn't work, but it works great as a casual player, since I order from Amazon 1-2 times a month.

sealswithclubs.eu satoshidice.com bought a few items on bitmit.net
thats it so far.

After I read this Mashable article http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/romney-tax-hackers-secret-service/ (http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/romney-tax-hackers-secret-service/) ;D
then finally after reading this another article http://mashable.com/2012/11/05/bitcoin-currency/ (http://mashable.com/2012/11/05/bitcoin-currency/)  :D

I haven't bought anything yet :( .

But I plan to buy games for steam.

Alpaca socks? Is that some sort of meme?

I played Satoshi Dice and came out ahead. :)

A bottle of ice wine.

Computer hardware for mining and euros €

Snacks :)

I've bought web hosting and domain name at orangewebsite.org, company hosted at Iceland, respecting user's privacy, having responsive support and reasonable TOS.

I guess i have not bought anything yet. But i have gambled most of my bitcoins away on bitcrate or satoshi dice.

Traded some for cash, and bought a computer game with them too.  Waiting for the exchange rate to improve :p

Too much to count, really.

Purchased 1 TB external HD, nuts, sold coffee, hundreds of conversions/exchanges, pizza, PLENTY of bounties, domains, hosting, just about everything.

Earrings (http://allthingsluxury.biz/) for my GF and edition 4 of the Bitcoin Magazine (http://bitcoinmagazine.net/)

A little bit of Beef Jerky, a month of VPN to test out a service, and all sort of random stuff on Bitmit!

I'm curious if anyone has seen any big "legitimate" uses for which bitcoin has a clear advantage over standard fiat money. I've been dabbling in bitcoin for a little while now and would love to see it grow, but as I talk to people about it, it's been hard to see how it will find a mainstream use in a developed country. I'm really wondering about this more from a transactional perspective as opposed to using it as a hedge against inflation, etc.

One thing I could think of, is cash remittance if you have relatives abroad you need to send money to. You don't have to pay huge fees on payment processors or bank institutions for transferring your money from country to country if you choose bitcoins.

rolls at a bakery, fpga's and some other hardware, casascius coins, trips with private cars, beer at bavaria
also sold some to people who didnt want to open an exchange account for themselves and rebought them right away ..
got stolen some on bitcoin.de due to a hacked password..

2 or 3 deals I made were be costly without bitcoin: for honey and tea  for example I spent few dollars, and a International wire transfer will cost more than the transaction, paypal fees and conversion are near 10% for small imports (3,4%+0.35€+2.5% of conversion from € to $, even moneybroker or other similar services have a cost over 6-7%.
Credit card for shop (at least in Italy) have a fixed monthly cost, plus a % of your transaction, plus a fixed flat. On small transaction (10-20€) the cost of the fees is over the earning of the shop keeper: here bitcoin can do the difference.

Bought with BTC: Honey caramels, Tobacco accesories, some spiced nuts, gourmet coffee, a 100-BTC physical savings bar, Black Ops 2 steam key, a platinum rated PSU, a 180GB SSD, 3 bASIC pre-orders.

Pretty much broke now.

I have bought 1 oz. of silver from Coinabul. Still waiting for delivery.... US first class international mail is not really a "first class" service.

bitcoin magazine subscription 
foundation membership

Some items from UK/ trades etc

love bitcoin!

I bought a vps and a vpn with BTC

Also I recently bought a casascius Bitcoin.

Oh yeah I bought a hemp pouch last week too  :D

Me too!!!  VPN from mullvad, totally anonymous with even a one day use option...very fast and secure.

VPS from MomentoVPS which offers even one week rentals and is also totally anonymous but I am not happy with it.

Can you tell me what VPS you chose ?

Also, I have loaned out some btc on BTCJam.

VPS from BitVPS, domain name from Domains4Bitcoins and some Casascius coins for personal collection/Christmas present.

I haven't bought anything yet but I would like to buy a physical Casascius Bitcoin and something on Bitmit.

Biggest thing i bought was a 2000$ laptop for bitcoin  :)

That could be about BTC0,50 in a few years' time. ;D

casascius

satoshidice

namecoin .bit domains

had a doodle done, sadly doodlebit is no more


Just done a vanity address:)

I just signed up an have spent about one and a half hours. this is my first
 post, i did not know uou could trade bitcoins for u.s dollars.

Is silk road still accessable?

Cloud storage (Wuala)
One domain name
Chocolate (pending delivery from bitchocolate)
Gold (or rather lost some BTC on bitdaytrade)
One ebook from Coindl
That´s about it!

I'm a deal hunter. I don't buy everything that's on sale, but for items I was going to buy anyway, I'll take the time to search out the best deal possible. There are times, I find, that people put stuff up on Bitmit or on the goods forum for an excellent discount. I got a year of Netflix for 1 bitcoin. That would be like if bitcoins were worth $98. Yeah, sometimes the deals are better in fiat, but if you don't have bitcoins, then you are going to miss out on some stuff.

There I was thinking BC were just used for illegal activities.

a beer at Room77.

well, actually it wasn't my money that paid for it, but it was me who did the transaction with a friend's BTC wallet
guess that counts :D

It's been really interesting reading everyone's uses of bitcoin, though I still feel that most of them are for the novelty of buying with bitcoin versus it being substantially more cost effective.

For the people buying things at physical locations in Berlin, why has bitcoin caught on so much there? Seems there must be an economic reason behind it more than just a large bitcoin-favoring libertarian community.

My first purchase was some Casascius coins, other than that mostly investing and losing bitcoins on GLBSE.

dropbox account, cigarettes, video card

While I've bought a host of other things, I most recently bought the Alpaca socks on Bitcoin Friday.

I wore them tons this past week and I've never had a piece of clothing so comfortable.

preordered a bfl jally but that's it so far

Preordered a couple of Jallys that were later upgraded to little SCs.  Both transactions were bitcoin transactions.
