I think this is an off-topic post, but still i would like to answer
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and due to several platforms like localbitcoin, unocoin, etc, we can easily transfer bitcoin to our local currency.
I have used bitcoinin many such ways. I just simply convert them to my local currency and use them in an emergency. Bitcoin will never go waste. Bitcoin is always proved to be profitable when used properly

you don't need to know what i bought or didn't buy, you just have to take the time and do some simple research using google to find out what are the things that you can buy with bitcoin:
https://www.google.com/search?q=what+can+i+buy+with+bitcoin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

and there are lots of things that i don't even know can be bought with bitcoin, let alone doing it!

If we want to see Bitcoin go to the moon each of needs to take the responsibility to share how simple, easy, and smart bitcoin is. So when you're hearing from someone that bitcoin isn't money or that it can't buy anything you need to show them the light, open up their eyes to what's going on.

Here's a good site that shows where bitcoin can be spent around the world. Customize the searches to your geographic location and purchasing interests. http://spendbitcoins.com/][url]http://spendbitcoins.com/ (http://[url)[/url]

As a sceptical person first thing what I have bought with BTC was my first BTC deposit. Thank only two coffey in bitcoin caffe, than nothing because I have BTC like investment, cause it's far more better than let my money stay in some bank accounts with likely negative interest per year...

Also one of the biggest electronic seller in my country started to accept BTC, so I will probably buy some console after summer  :)

It's obvious Bitcoin can buy things, it should be a consensus among everyone. I believe everyone who has Bitcoins already used it to buy something or hire a service online, at least for experience and to see how it works. Most popular stuff people buy are gift card and games that I have boughten too. Much more easy to buy games for BTC than use credit cards to do it, showing our ID.

Sad to say in our country we can't buy anything yet with bitcoin but it exchanges our country's currency when I pay my bills and load my prepaid sim card too. That's what I bought my bitcoins with so far.

I bought video game characters, computer parts, web hosting service, and I have gambled using BTC. In reality, you can purchase anything with BTC if you are dedicated enough.

So far, the only thing I bought with Bitcoin was a Steam game.
Sadly there's no restaurant or other business close to me accepting Bitcoin yet.

I've bought several miners over the years using bitcoin.  One of the old butterfly lab units, and some of the Bitmain units.
