Title: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: nakowa on July 13, 2011, 07:03:33 AM I wanna know what products or services did BTC users buy recently?
Is US dollar the most popular product traded with BTC? Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: Joseph on July 13, 2011, 07:30:40 AM Recently a videocard for 6 bitcoins
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: cinos11 on July 13, 2011, 07:32:43 AM I bought a coin from coinedbits.com
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: Grant on July 13, 2011, 07:40:00 AM Sold bitcoins, to buy USD, the USD then converted to EUR, and again converted to NOK (my bank account), finaly converted them to PLN to buy a macbook :)
(wonder how many bank employees this otherwise simple transaction would liberate if more RL stores accepted bitcoin) Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: silverchair on July 13, 2011, 07:44:15 AM Videocard also for 7btc ;D
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: ShaggyB (BitCoinWorldMarket) on July 13, 2011, 09:02:07 AM I've purchased a couple coins from CoinedBits. I can tell you several people have purchased stuff from us at www.bitcoinworldmarket.com
I think this is hugely exciting that we are all early adopters of bitcoin and I'm stoked to see all of the economy springing up around it. Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: nemo on July 13, 2011, 09:07:48 AM Gave a coin away for a top comment of "I'll suck yo dick" (no fruition). 1 coin for a tricky printer driver I was paid to fix. .1 for good but not exact goyurt plans. I've noticed that it's hip to not spend your bitcoins so I usually ask for double what they're currently worth, which is why I can't sell shit too. Theres going to be a painful balance where people are more motivated to get rid of their bitcoins, but hold them at the same time. Petter shiff called it playing 'hot potato' and is right. I bet this game is rough and qr is the new 666. If so, my bet is on the devil :/
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: wareen on July 13, 2011, 09:24:03 AM Just used spendbitcoins.com (http://spendbitcoins.com) to order a book via Amazon and sent it as a gift to a friend - adding as message that this book was paid with Bitcoins.
I also ordered some Bitcoin-stickers (https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=4237.msg68530#msg68530), paying for postage in BTC. Yesterday I made a Bitcoin-donation to Open Source Ecology (http://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski.html). Bitcoin spending is fun! Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: SlaveInDebt on July 13, 2011, 09:30:48 AM Tipped some folks and donated. Purchased a CPU for 3btc and about to buy a SSD as well.

Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: BitPorium on July 13, 2011, 09:33:57 AM I got me a great open air case from cablesaurus.com. Well with mtgox usd but that did come from bitcoins. I have also sold a lot of stuff. Recently sold a tablet from bitcoins, and also complete computer systems.

a seedbox from seedunlimited for 0.5-1 BTC/month had planned to buy a 2nd 6870 from newegg via spendbitcoins, but since that affiliation fell through, i'm waiting to find a new source. Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: geek-trader on July 13, 2011, 06:01:18 PM I mostly gamble. The game in my sig (Bitcoin Kamikaze) and Backjack. I was up about 3 BTC over the last week, until last night, when I had an unlucky streak. Now I'm only up abut 1 BTC.
The great thing about internet gambling with BTC, as opposed to Las Vegas, is that it's much easier to quit while you are ahead. In Vegas, if I'm up on BlackJack, and I quit, then what am I going to do? Go to bed? So I end up playing more and giving my winnings back to the house. On the internet, I can quit while I'm ahead and go do whatever, I'm at home. Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: XIU on July 13, 2011, 06:22:37 PM Drawings :)

Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: Bitcoin Harbor on July 13, 2011, 09:09:04 PM I am waiting for those sweet bitcoin rings (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26194.0) to show up on our site so I can snag one. Who doesn't want a little bitcoin bling?
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: silverchair on July 29, 2011, 05:51:55 AM Just bought 21' LCD monitor, old one is smokin and sparkin already.
Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: Frozenlock on July 29, 2011, 06:19:52 AM 140 CAD delivered to my bank account (thanks frozenlock) I still believe I've got the best part in this deal. ;D I bought beef jerky, an mp3 player by btcdeals and some bitbills. Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: CyberPhunk on July 29, 2011, 06:27:29 AM Hmm, so far, 775w PSU, 2gb ddr3 ram, amd sempron, msi MB, and 2 asus 5850 video cards.
I will be assembling them tomorrow to reclaim my main rig for gaming/video conversion. ;-) Title: Re: What did you buy with BTC? Post by: compro01 on July 29, 2011, 02:08:45 PM 140 CAD delivered to my bank account (thanks frozenlock) I still believe I've got the best part in this deal. ;D probably in the future, though that $140 helped pay my rent that month (i love changing jobs and waiting 3 weeks for my first paycheque), so i definitely got something useful out of the deal. |
