Bitcoin Forum

I feel like the vast majority of people are investors right now. Is anyone actually using bitcoin to buy things? If so, what? I've purchased other cryptocurrencies with it, but that's it so far...

alpaca socks

Girl Scout Cookies

Haha. Nice!

Also a few of these:  http://www.bitcointrezor.com/

(but they have not been delivered yet)

Honey Caramels from Bees Brothers... awesome stuff.

You cant horde 100%, it not good for the crypto-economy. Spend 1-5% of your stash per month.

Also, you should give away .1 and .01 to friends and family as a gift. Best way to educate the masses is to donate some to them. 

I like these two stores, for BTC and LTC respectively:

https://www.bitcoinstore.com/
https://www.ltcasics.com/

I've bought a domain name, a stock vector graphic and I've hired someone to do some software development with bitcoin before.

I bought a shit ton of mining equipment YOO! Anyone can buy a personalized AmBit QR Bitcoin Deposit/Cold Storage Card  BLACK, Gold, Silver, Bronze available. Never leave your phone without it!   :o

Bitcoin Preferred!

Games.
8 humble bundles.
$$$$ paypal cash.

Just-Dice quality time.

Um... That's it really...

Nothing.

If FBI is to be believed then lots of drugs were bought with BTC since 9.5 million BTC went through SR.

Some of the things I've bought or sold for btc

Cash

A laptop, gift cards, a router, honey products, and if the exchange rate keeps soaring I am buying some airplane tickets over at cheapair.com!

I will also be buying a number of my Christmas gifts in btc  ;D

But yes, most of my btc is saved. Just like my fiat from my job. It happens to reside in my bank acct.

Humble bundles, domain names, Block Erupters, Nokia Lumia, Indian takeaway, several games, a cigar and a couple other I can't think of.

Masks, Physical Casascius designed bitcoins, and recently an iPad.

A bracelet made by a 9 year old kid wanting to earn bitcoins. http://www.diddit.net/wonderbracelets/

Trip to North Korea (young pioneer tours)

I've spent thousands in the last year (value at the time of spending) on things I'd buy anyway. Beer, a lot of gift cards, given BTC to friends as presents and also betting and altcoins in decreasing order of usefulness...

Edit: Planning to visit Kreuzberg, Berlin next spring to spend more BTC in the real world, flight to be paid in Bitcoin and I persuaded a friend who owns a B&B there to accept it.

I feel very conscious about doing my little bit to keep the economy active and "Buying Bitish" (sorry).

a jolly roger, silver bullion, ammunition. jesus in retrospect, from that list, you would ACTUALLY think i was a pirate. Arrrrg.

Domain names from namecheap

There are definitely people spending their bitcoins. We have made above average bitcoin sales over the past week. There is definitely a few spending.

I bought $100 worth of pre-1982 copper pennies from a random bitcointalk forum user, the name of whom I forget. I thought society might collapse and 10,000 copper pennies might be the start of a small eco-village economy; loldoomporn. This was $12/BTC times.

I bought a $60 double chambered bubbler glass piece from dankglass on these forums. Nice piece for $60. This was also $12/BTC times.

I bought a 1oz Gold Coin(2011 Canadian Maple Leaf). Got an amazing deal on this at the time; BTC was yet again $12/BTC and I paid 25BTC for the gold coin. Gold was $1700 spot back then. My friend didn't understand mining and didn't want to mine, but wanted BTC. He is very glad he made that deal now.

I bought a $60ish gift-pak of Bees Brothers honey-caramels as a birthday present for my mom. This was also around $12/BTC times.

I bought an Acer laptop Core i3 2.2ghz/4GB/500GB from bitcoinstore.com a couple weeks ago as a Christmas present for my mom to replace a decade old single core celeron lappy. This was $500/BTC times.

I got conned by some dick named Tom (the btcfpga.com guy) around this time last year who was supposed to send me 180GH/s worth of ASICs that never ended up existing. This cost me 225ish BTC ($2900 ASIC order, paid with BTC, when BTC was $12/BTC).

I cashed out at an exchange for the first time yesterday, after over 3 years of mining. I withdrew ~$30,000 USD so I can move out of my parents basement this coming spring and put a down payment on a condo somewhere in Colorado where I can't get arrested for smoking weed(currently on probation for distribution).

I have exactly 150 BTC left in cold storage, backed up in 4 different locations. I stopped mining a few months ago. The equipment that I wanted and paid for never existed (see 2 paragraphs ago). The coins I have left will not get touched for a long, long time.


Lesson?  Love your mom, and don't trust assholes named Tom.

used some bitcoins for gambling thats all lol

I've bought some steam games, also a few items from the following website including a self massager which is really cool:

http://electronichealing.co.uk/

The downside is something I bought for £150 only a few months ago now effectively cost me about £2200 at todays prices... I don't even want to think about the stuff I bought with Bitcoins last year!!  :o

A life time worth of drugs

domain names at Namecheap.com, my first purchase.

Topped up my prepaid mobile phone account.

FireSteel.com FireSteels.  Been using BTC for a year or more

The last one still amazes me dude, people can go to space with cryptocurrency. 2013 a space odyssee

a samsung n9002 from china

Buy something with bitcoins? What a concept! I've donated a many of them. I did buy all the back issues of Bitcoin Magazine while in Atlanta. Well, Rassah did, but paid him back due to them being stored on the laptop hidden underneath said vendor table under Elizabeth's watchful eye, that is.

~TMIBTCITW

Now you can add some cases for my phone and another VPS which I'm using as a little private pool for my block erupters (its like a lottery with a ticket everyday! And it generates a little heat in my very cold house)

Windows 7 for 1btc, back when it was $32.

Payment for a hacker to text blast the cellphone of some jerk on craigslist who scammed me out of $200. His phone was literally unusable, getting 6 texts/second. At the time, I think btc was worth like $15, so I paid out 5 btc for the deed. Felt good at the time; still kinda feels good know, though I do kind of wish I had those bitcoins back now haha. Also, I paid out .5 btc bounties for people who would prank call his ass at all hours of the day and night before I hired the hacker.

I helped make tradefortress a millionaire with the six BTC he scammed from me.  :D

I REALLY REALLY REALY want to buy guns and ammo here in mainland china, though its illegal.

A Asus netbook, some stickers and a few physical Bitcoins.

Gambled away some too.

Well with Bitcoin you can. Just take some precaution if it is forbidden in your country of residence.

I bought three Butterfly labs 65mn chips. At a price where they will make three times the bitcoin of the purchase price.

Oddly enough it was not a problem even as BC was jumping all over the place. Because they are a relative asset.

Can't see doing absolute assets.

BUT....

I do watch repair as a side job, pocket watches. How would I advertise this service here to do it in bitcoin? I think it's time I try to see how this new economy works...


C

I have bought many things from computers, video cards, bees bros and gift cards.

Of course I have shipped over 300 orders for items with Bitcoin as well. 

I am sure these boards are watched by our favorite men in black… I have no interest in providing them information about what I do with Bitcoin. Ok… I bought Peace of Mind. FTW.

Alpaca socks and lunch last week.  Rumor has it the local farmers market will be getting trained up on bitcoin next week.  That will open the door for a lot more spending for me.

And a load of gym gear too

Bought a t-shirt, just got it yesterday.

Just created a bunch of paper wallets to give away millibitcoins for the holidays! I'm counting it  :)

VPN access

Silver from Amagi

VPN access
Fiat money

sports gambling!  ;D

Bitcoin miners

Surprisingly nothing yet.  I'm a paranoid hoarder!

Radeon 5970 for 8 BTC. When it was $30.

Movie tickets.

It was the first purchase that I did and it was a huge experience as I realized how much superior Bitcoin really is.

When compared to logging to the banks website and filling all the necessary fields, it was liberating to just copy&paste the address and fill the amount.

Not to mention that if the person receiving the coins would have had different bank or if it would have been weekend, it could have taken several days for the transaction to be visible for the him.

There's a definite need for cryptocurrencies, as the current banking system is far from what you could expect with todays technology.

HUmble bundle. Asic miners. Paying back my friends for stuff.

Amazon Gift Cards (So much money spent on them.)
Papa John's Gift Cards
Bioshock Infinite (Premium)
GTA 5
COD: Ghosts (A regret.)
Dead Rising 2 - Zombrex Edition
Mystery Box (A mystery package.)
CoD Season Pass
A Watch
Christmas Boots (Christmas Presents)
A Mushroom Keychain (From Mario)

Soon to Buy:

Mining Rig for Alt-Coins
----

Honestly, it takes me a few minutes to buy things. I either go like, "ERMAGAWD I'm going to lose BTC if I don't copy and paste the address twenty times." And then I have to read over the first number, and then the last letter. Over and over again.

So paranoid. Especially since I normally do large withdrawals + deposits. It's so easy to lose $200, and cry painfully. Of course, to loose $90.

I will never get Bitcoins.

DVD's and e books

Just paid the admin fee to attend Inside Bitcoins (West) in Las Vegas at $499 USD via bitcoins via BitPay.

$55 worth of Amazon gift cards
$50 worth of Target gift cards

Looking into buying silver, but not as much of a silver bug as I once was. Kind of crazy that no long ago I was thinking of trading in a 1/10 oz gold piece for 1 BTC....now it's 1 oz gold = 1 BTC.

In the end, I've actually bought things with bitcoin, nothing with PMs.

-Gift Cards from giftcardzen.com (not affiliated).

-Video games/Digital downloads

-ASICminer products

-Digital codes  :D (Doritos/MTN DEW, not NSA or DoD)

Everything.

HTC One 32 GB

Please tell me where this coffee shop is! If it is local to me I'd want to go there!

Oh, and I just made my first btc purchase on http://pizzaforcoins.com/

I have bought the following things using bitcoins:
 Web hosting
 Domain name registration
 Books
 A crossbow
 ebooks
 Dollars
 Stocks (bitcoin stocks)
 Ripples
 Amazon gift card (which I then used to buy more ebooks and movies)

I have also given out bitcoins:
 as a prize for a poetry contest
 as donations to charities
 as a tip to a webcomic creator

I've purchased a lot of computer equipment from sites like btczone that let you shop off amazon. I haven't used it for a while though, I'm not sure who all is offering that service.

I think the correct question should have been "name something that you 'll buy with bitcoins"
I think that the thread would have died in the first page.

1997 GMC K3500 Diesel
XBox360

anus balls

PayPal money!. and saving btc's isn't that bad if you don't find interesting stuff to use them for.

About 0.4 BTC of stuff I didn't need at overstock.com

Oh for crying in the toast: I just wasted $50 on Amazon buying a Corsair power supply when I could have bought it on Overstock with Bitcoin.

*sigh* We need a "I could have used Bitcoin" ad like the "I coulda had a V8" one.

C

Ok, I just ordered one for "pick up". Will see what happens.

The fact that it identified my payment is... creepy...

The fact that it hasn't sent me an email yet is also... creepy....

Edit: Called the local Papa John's. Pizza was waiting there with my phone number and someone else's name. Went over, picked up pizza, explained bitcoins, drove home, ate pizza.

Welcome to the new world. Just ate half a day's worth of mining. Hm.

big steel keg, ikea bed frame, keetsa mattress, netbook, hangers, domain names, pizza.  I would also buy a BMW R nine T if it was available for purchase with btc but it isn't

Never bought anything with BTC, plan to change this soon  :)

Nascent Iodine

I haven't actually purchased anything with bitcoin yet, but I have some stuff for sale for bitcoin.   If I were to purchase something with bitcoin, I'd try to purchase from someone who will keep the bitcoins in the community...

I just bought a couple of 'HODLING' shirts.  Or I think I did.  Won't know until they are in my hands.

Just bought some property in the 6-figure range specifically from pure Bitcoin profits, but had to make an excursion through fiat-land.  (We don't need no steeenking Lamborghinis.)  Now I get to pay property tax on it for the rest of my life.  Yipee!

I just bought a Kill A Watt power meter from Overstock.com...

Turned out my email was broken last night, pizzaforcoins was working perfectly.

And man it was *NEAT* I highly recommend people try this thing out. It worked perfectly with the local PapaJohns.

C

I haven't purchased anything because it's next to impossible to mine coins and even harder yo simply buy bit coins. Kind of disappointed at thus point as I only have about .0002 BTC after several months  :(

A Jalapeno 8+gh/s ASIC, BiFury usb ASIC and gold.
Other than that just mining it for more stuff.

You could also upgrade that jally to 16gh for chips and .1btc of labor costs to me.... That's something to buy.

I work for bitcoins.

C

That is good to know.
What is the turn around time?

About a week. I like to run them before doing anything, and after to ensure it's good.

Gold, Silver and Magic Cards!

Several handbags at Overstock.com last week.    ;D

I've bought Bitcoin miners, various computer parts and various gift cards.

Loads of things, most recent items came today from the bees bros

It would be epic if Laszlo posted in this thread  :D

I have spent over $800 in BTC this week alone. With Overstock taking coins I kinda went on a binge. I see that FedEx just delivered my new gunsafe! Can't wait to get home.   :D

I also bought a Dyson vacuum, a coat, dehumidifier,.... and some other stuff. ??? 

Overstock.com was smart to beat everyone to the market. There is a lot of pent-up demand out there.

I've bought a bunch of thrills gambling with BTC...and I've traded some of that into fiat, which I then used to buy things, donate some to charities, etc.

I bought 5 Antminer USB sticks for like 0.075BTC each earlier this month. made a tidy profit on ebay, so i'm happy.

The things were delivered with amazing speed and are exactly as described.

Food, coffee, tea, clothing, electronics, cables, video games, and mining hardware.  Since the O.co announcement, I have bought: a desk chair, a kitchen aid stand mixer, a breville oven, and a floor cleaning robot.

Just bought an SC25 with bitcoin. As for the chick, I would say that getting the bigger one would be a much better value :-)

YMMV.

I bought bitcoins with bitcoin.  The exchange rate was excellent so I pulled the trigger.

I spent some bitcoin and boy do I regret it. Let other people spend, it looks like 2014 will see $300-$400 million in actual sales transaction via bitcoin now that the whole porn industry, Zynga, etc., are on it. I'll sit tight and watch bitcoin hit $40,000 on the back of other people's spending and liquidity proofing thank you very much.

always buy back what you spent

thanks for the info, i'll start the prodding :)

VPN service. Paid a bit over spot equivalent of USD but still.

Raspberry Pi!

Wine bottle cooler fridge for $100-ish from Overstock!

I will be using them from now on for all my Amazon.com-like purchases (if possible)

-B-

I saw in a little forum, the idea that the Bitcoin client should be changed so that people could attach specific property to specific bitcoins. I think that the idea was to make the bitcoins redeemable in only that property or kind of property. Something like this might start to drag Bitcoin into being used as real, spendable money.

:)

Drugs  ;D
Casascius coins
a shitload of dollars...

I have bought bitcoin trading bot known as BTC ROBOT. But its working not very good, so I'll prorbably ask for moneyback.

Why would anyone buy a ras-pi when they could bet a beaglebone black?  Oh well.  To answer my own question, maybe noone selling beaglebone blacks takes BTC?  Yet.

I have purchased more miners with my bitcoin, about 1.2 th/s more
I purchased an industrial wire 4 shelf unit from Over Stock.com to hold my additional ASIC rigs.
I supported the bitcoin market place and Now I will have room for even more rigs!

Mtnminer

A keychain!

Just bought another (25gh) miner. With a combination of bitcoins and my fees for fixing things (also collected in bitcoins)

I've been thinking: I repair watches (1860-1930 pocket watches especially) and a cleaning is normally $150 (where I take it apart and everything). Jewelers charge $500+ and send the thing out to a chop shop. So I will do this for bitcoin; where is a good place to advertise this (say .15btc for a cleaning and service)?

C

You should actually do a website for that and a dedicated facebook page.  Then get the links on here and other such sites.
I have a close friend who repairs vintage radios and he makes a mint there are so many collectors out there.

a bitcoin miner!

Although hoarding bitcoins and not spending them might make you more money, if people don't start using them to buy things the value is not going anywhere and bitcoin will just become an inflated stock taken over by an alt-coin that embraces spending.

it could be very useful as an off shore tax haven that can be stored in your brain even if the market decided not to use it as a currency.

That's one theory.  Precious metals and a lot of other valuable and 'successful' things kind of argue against that though.

Another theory is that if everyone is using the global persistent block chain for everything all of the time, the nature of the Bitcoin network will change in ways that would make the solution lose a lot of the features that many of us value.  Like, say, being being widely distributed on an infrastructure level (and thus, quite robust and hard to manipulate.)

To me the best of both worlds is to have Bitcoin (or something like it) have it's current highly distributed strengths while a plethora of alternates service the global consumer load and rest their value on how much BTC they are associated with (among other things.)

Bitcoin has some design issues and hitorical baggage which will make it hard to compete with purpose oriented alternates in various spheres (such as privacy, latency, etc) anyway and if it tries it will probably fail and eventually become a two-time loser.

In the mean time it is of value to try to push to the limits of the block size and start evaluating the impacts of transaction fees so it is great to see you trying to sell trinkets for BTC and I wish you the best of luck with it.

I've bought wow gametime twice at https://bitcoincodes.com/index.php?unit=store&op=browse&cat=7

I've bought steam games with Bitcoin.

delicious thai curry via http://www.lieferservice.de

That's why I don't tend to purchase any thing with Bitcoin unless it's something like purchasing food etc.

Where to start.

Samsung SG4,
A laser printer,
An über cool laser pointer from bitlasers,
Repeated VPN services from various providers,
Stickers (i.e. Bitcoin accepted here),
Physical bitcoins,
A Yubikey,
Various donations to charity, blog tipping, GGB girls,
T-shirts,
Registration fees to bitcoin conferences,
Cupcakes,
and much, much more.

Cat food.
Car repairs.
Paid gardeners who rake leaves, trim bushes, cut lawn, etc monthly - twice now.
Speaker fees. 
Most recently, a nice wool peacoat from overstock.com. 
Several other things. 

Inflatable butt plugs (2), Lelo magic wand, nJoy butt plug, all delivered fuckin' fast, from cryptosextoys.com :) thanks, fendlestick!

also, services.

:-\ ........ inflatable..... Why would.... :( I....  :D

VPN service, software, and several gifts (clothes, decals, jewelry). Surprising none of the things I got were marked up at all. In fact I got an additional discount on the jewelry that I bought since I used BTC (I think the seller wanted some BTC really).

VPN service yesterday so we don't have to watch the annoying NBC "coverage" of the Olympics!  Don't get me wrong.  I am female and I like  heartwarming stories about the athletes but lately I feel like there is very little sports to watch. ;)

I have not physically purchased anything with bitcoin yet.   I have sold some back into USD, and the only other time I spent btc was to pay off super bowl bets that went the wrong way...lol. 

I recently did my first real bitcoin purchase of a $20 steam card.

@kluge - remember, fisting is a thing - how do you think butt-holes get big enough for that?

I forgot - I also bought some vpn services with bitcoin.

Amazon Gift Card
other gift card
Maple syrup
Some small collectable items
Web hosting

Hopefully soon, more people will spend their BTC

Adding: much food, little doge, litecoin as a gift and converting as little as possible into cash..to help with electricity  ;)

Iphone 5c (before apple banned the blockchain app). Hopefully the new NSA proof phone will hit the market soon and that will be the next thing I'll buy with bitcoin mates

1. A DVD drive
2. Payments to those who've worked damn hard to figure out mining issues
3. Paid for online roulette on 22, black, even, 2nd 1/3rd ... and it HIT.

I honestly understand the "this-is-an-investment-I'll-never-spend-these-coins" people out there -- but unless you're willing to help adoption and foster the currency as a, ya know, ACTUAL currency, you're missing out. Do I hope to get lots of $$$ out of BTC? Sure. But I'm much, much more interested in BTC as a new world changing currency and network than I am if I can "get rich quick".

I made 2 very nice aluminum rigs for my friends out here and requested they pay me in LTC or BTC. But they wouldn't. They simply would not do it. Their thinking was that if they paid me (and this was just today) 4 LTC, so about $80, for their open rigs and in 6 months LTC hits $50, they just paid $200 for an open rig ... NO, NO, NO, NO. You paid $80 for it. That's how currency works. It's value is set to whatever the hell it is RIGHT NOW. Speculation and hoping for that big swing in the spot price is just that: wishing. If you are going to change your BTC for actual, real, physical goods, then it's worth is only as good as the price you're willing to pay RIGHT. NOW.

My issue is that if they're unwilling to actually use the currency as such, then where is their faith that it has real value? We know its a REAL currency now, that debate is over; I just don't think it's helping the widespread use and inherent value of crypto currencies if you're unwilling to spend them.

A speedboat trip to Phi Phi Islands...Just got back from Phuket and saw a shop advertising Bitcoin, bought a days island hopping ticket using bitcoin:)

bitcoinstore - laptop, couple power supplies
o.co - misc computer parts

my kid buys steam codes from the doge marketplace with doge mined from the kid's gaming computer

Sweet!
Was it the yellow one that I saw pics of on here??

 Just awesome!!
I hope you have burned through at least one set of tires on it??
That is a badass car. 8)

Burn it now they have decided to screw us over even though it wasn't hurting them I have bought steam games mostly with Bitcoin

Apple is the Blackberry of tomorrow. :-)

Bought power supplies, parts, etc... Even a kettle. Bitcoin is now being used as money here.

C

Misery and tears because I gambled and lost all my bitcoins

-Bawls Soda
-Micro USB powered fridge
-Magnetic Silly Putty
-More Soda
-Zen Magnets
-Games, lots and lots of games.
-Even more games. So many.
-A physical coin with no value as a toy.

That's it I think. So many things.

Apple is certainly a mess of a company.  It does something well then sucks the life out of it and steals others ideas to brand it's own al-la MS.
There are rumors that they are going to do their own digital currency to sidestep BTC and control the flow of the currency.

Electronics:
1080P HD Contour Roam Helmet-Mounting Watersports Camera
500 Watt ATX PSU
Car Battery (actually bought a Sears gift card on Gyft and bought the battery with the gift card)

Jewelry:
Sterling Silver Necklace
Bitcoin Pins
Ancap/Voluntaryist pins

Food:
Many lunches and dinners, menu items ranging from burgers and fries to vegan entrees, pizza to chinese

Digital goods:
VPN services, web hosting, domain names, and contracted with a developer/programmer who made me a python script to import product data from a distributor's API into our e-commerce site

[censored]:
[CENSORED]

Misc. other:
A coffee mug with an image on the side
A handlebar mount for my cellphone
A print-copy of a bitcoin magazine

Speculation:
Much online gambling, including bets on the future price of bitcoin, and stocks on cryptostocks, and also trading for other coins on cryptsy.

And I've sold a number of Christmas trees for coins!

A PCI-E extender cable.

Drugs.

Hosting.

That's about it.

I have the problem that many folks have: I AM HODLING.  I feel bad spending any bitcoin.  It's almost the complete opposite of fiat for me, which I know is liable to crash any day, so I spend it as much and as fast as possible for goods.

Oh, and I forgot--I've bought quite a few of these green pieces of paper that the US government issues and claims are actual money!!

no motorcycle gear?

Not yet, though I'm looking at some helmets and leathers on overstock http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=motorcycle&SearchType=Header

Also I'm the service manager at a motorcycle shop so I generally can get things for cheaper prices through our wholesale catalogs than I can with bitcoin. Though I've also talked with the owner about bitcoin and we will be accepting it in the future when we launch our ecommerce site.

oh and nice little tool store!! I might purchase something today!

- A ton of of chai tea and lunch (wraps/curries) from a favourite local cafe of mine (even before they took XBT I used to frequent their original location back in the day)
- Tips (on top of cash tips) to a few people. Also to helpful sites.
- Paying back small debts to friends, co-workers
- A trivial amount of dice games, bitcoin-based shares just for the fun of it

I was recently intending to pay for move out cleaning services in XBT, but they took my initial deposit by CC and then charged the rest to my card shortly after the service was provided before we worked out the details. (I didn't initiate the offer to pay in bitcoin, they advertise it right on their site. I think the original request to pay in bitcoin was simply forgotten between scheduling the booking and the work done several weeks apart.)

On a side note, I just moved continents, and am hoping to buy some food via the takeaway.com network sometime soon too!

(If more retailers/non-US retailers were accepting bitcoin, I'd continue to use it and just replenish my stocks as I spend.)

Helps working at a motorcycle shop that's for sure!Good discounts and no shipping costs. hard to beat.

Thanks for the compliment on my store. It is really however still quite empty. It’s an unbelievably slow process listing everything, but it's starting to bulk up. Let me know if there is anything in particular you are looking for in one of those listed categories.

If you did buy something you would be the stores first customer ;D

We can combine ship according to weight and you can get a real quick shipping quote from the shopping cart without having to register or anything.

BTW is that an airhead Beemer in your avatar?

Vpn subs, a game account, baklava, Physical bitcoins, steam games, a gpu, xbox live sub, an old mining rig way back in the day.

I'm probably forgetting others.

Just bought more mining gear yesterday at www.scan.co.uk, now accepting bitcoins, so much easier!

Merida ninety nine 3000 carbon  ;D

Woot for those of us who truly believe in and ACTUALLY spend it! I have tipped multiple people for good advice and replaced a fried 7950 with a 270x thanks to TD! Just before this past crash too, so I feel fortunate...its like I got 15% off...feels good. :P

I've purchased a whole bunch of candy, and a few chai latte's and some Indian food. All in-person transactions, I've actually never spent any online.

kncminer, asicminer, antminer, dualminer, mmmmm,

traded 2600 dogecoin for $5 lunch....

mmm..that's it so far.


ps. I have tipped in BTC and Dogecoin...to the moon!

I purchased hosting and some altcoins using BTC

Isn't all they have the 10gh/s units??
I never find any other units there just those.

Edit for my stupidity:  Of course there are graphics cards, psu's and such.

VPS service and some altcoins..

3 Chinotto, 10-12 Fanta orange, 2 beers, 2 books, 7 magazines, shares of knc miner, today or tomorrow i will buy fresh and made pasta

I just checked, i've bought $910 worth of zeevex cards. Did I say games? Games.

Steam-Keys, Pizza, Burger, a Tablet, T-Shirts, Coffee, just to mention some. (I am from germany)

I heard about someone Back in 2010, a programmer talked someone into accepting the 10,000 Bitcoins he’d “mined” on his computer in exchange for two pizzas.

That Pizza Purchase Worth $7 Million Today

and ?

talk about 2010 in IT ... it's like talk about world war 2 in real world (currency inflation).

World war 2 lasted in 1945   , I am talking about something happened 4 years ago

And i do not remember any currency that bought you 2 piza and 4 year later worth 7 million $

See, that's the error people make in thinking: If that person had not spent the money for the two pizzas, then that news story of "hey, someone actually converted this digital stuff for FOOD" would never have been aired. And people would never have heard of Bitcoin, or thought that it the idea would have any merit.

And the value of Bitcoin today would equal the value of flooze or something. You can never change something in the past without changing the present. People just do not seem to get that.

Bought BE months ago...

bought a Tradonator® Cash Pro (Expert Advisor for Metatrader4) during a special advertising period with a good discount (for paying with BTC)

Yes it is, 1971 R75/5, that's me sitting on it. It was my first vehicle, and I still have it today, though it's torn apart into many pieces right now for an engine rebuild that's been put on the back burner for about the last year.

I'll keep checking your tool shop as you add inventory, and I might be your first customer (when the exchange rate goes up a bit!! Hard to justify spending coins right now, knowing they're unlikely to be worth this little anytime in the future ever again).

i bought rechargeable Batteries for my sons Xbox360 controller

Bought SimCity 2013 :). Half the cost as the cheapest fiat place I could find.

wooop hahah, small things however necessities which are cool to be able to be bought with bitcoins.

New thing since last post:

I've bought some steam games only, that's all.

Please tell me you live in the EU/bought it off a site with multiple destinations......

WorldCoins.
I am dumping bitcoins to get some WDC because it has better use for everyday transactions (the fast 1st confirmation is done in 30 seconds only).

Dogecoins.

wish there was anything useful to buy with cryptos...but right now they are pure investment/speculation/(ponzi)

of course other alt-coins,  GTA IV, some other games like GTA:LCS and MW3, other mining devices, countless things through gyft, like amazon gift card codes (water filters, power supplies, an extended mobile phone battery), the BTC Miami Conference Tickets AND my plane tickets to that event, Reselling merchandise for www.honeybadgerofmoney.com, Red Robin, through a trade of said gift card I bought some beats by dre headphones from a friend.  Looking at using snapcard to be able to buy an engagement ring if BTC ever climbs back up past 1k. 

Goes to show that you're not very informed...see above.

i'm really not interested in video games, but yeah you are right, there is some random stuff that you can actually buy here and there. just not anything useful for me.

A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRNIgOnams8

I bought a website script and a game key with Bitcoin and I plan to order a new computer when/if I can earn the money too :P

why wouldn't they tell that here?

Raw Manuka honey from Thailand and a train ticket for an anon that needed to go somewhere. Reminds me I did mean to get some Lama socks if they are still in business.

Ow and I just found out a curry house down the road takes them if you pay over the internet for takeaway.

I bought a Glock

I bought paper wallets and anonymous mask couple days ago.

More power supplies and PCI16 broken video cards.

I'm beginning to wonder if I could set up a hydro station on my property...

C

Always wanted a anonymous mask where did you buy that with Bitcoin?

I bought a nice Raketa watch (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265894.0).

I have bought some steam games a while ago using BTC  :)

Some books from Amazon (through Gyft, so I guess you could say I bought an Amazon gift card).

Beer, wine, and dinner for 2 at a local pub.

I have bought some games with Bitcoin and I'm very excited to play them now

Ghost pepper from http://www.sonoranspice.com/ :)

Computer parts from scan.co.uk in the UK :)

Thanks, Bitcoin!

-Fuse

I've now bought a ps4 and an ar drone 2.0 power edition

Just bought some more stuff on Overstock. This *is* the way I keep my wife happy with what amounts to a small jet engine (hundreds of gh) running on the top floor.

I wonder when BGE will start talking Bitcoin.

Recently bought iPhone on Overstock. Actually one of best magazines that accept BTC: goods variety, low prices (+/-)

4 domain names
5 VPS hosting
a verso card

That would be great if they did start taking Bitcoin you would be self sustained with no exchanges needed.
Did you ever get setup on coinbase?

No, I am too lame. I should do that sometime.

C

i just bought TrollCoin into the mintpal.com exchange with Bitcoin, well, i guess it was more of a bribe than a purchase... eh.

Where did you buy the domain names and VPS hosting?
I am looking for a reliable VPS and domain hosting company.

It took me a while to sign up too.  I'm glad I did now.
If you do sign up could you use my referral link if you want I would greatly appreciate it.

https://coinbase. com/?r=52db99a6228dc94c3d00007b&utm_campaign=user-referral&src=referral-link (https://coinbase. com/?r=52db99a6228dc94c3d00007b&utm_campaign=user-referral&src=referral-link)

It only takes a couple mins.  It's been a great service so far.

Wow my link will not show when I add it.
I will PM it to you.

I believe referral links aren't allowed anymore. Some people were getting silly with them. A PM should work.

Thanks, I did send a PM and put a space in it so it would not cause any problems.
You are right though some people were getting nuts with referral links.  I don't usually do that but I thought I would give it a try as lightfoot has done some work for me.

Civilization V + DLC via HumbleBundle for a friend of mine.
 ;D

I bought my first car for BTC800, and I sold the same car five months later for BTC80

We can't kick ourselves for things like these... it happened to almost everyone right before the first surge!

Yay bitcoin :)

i just replace what i spend when it makes sense to...

A shirt so far.

...

A 0.25 oz Gold Eagle.  I think that as time goes by, I will save most BTC that get (I buy them for cash), and what I spend will likely be for more gold.

62Khs of scrypt mining rig shares at scrypt.cc?ref=baagt (http://scrypt.cc?ref=baagt) which I've traded up to 115khs.  (no contract)

Between trading and an estimate (low ball) of 4 satoshis/khs every 10 minutes... I'm loving it!  The site is averaging about .5% profit per khs per day in mining rewards alone.  WOOT! is right! :)

My miner died so... that was all I purchased. LOL

It's paid off in a great time in chat with happy people, happy-helpful admin and .5% profit a day.  Wow!



I guess you could say it's also bought me a job as I was offered a position with the company, should find out the details today.  (I'm stoked!)

Keep it Clean! :D

Cell phone minutes.

I bought a Bitcoin with Bitcoin.

Hm. Who is selling gold? That could be nice.

That's kind of meta.  Hope you didn't pay much in exchange fees.  ;)

The other day I bought a bag, and the lady behind the counter put it in... a bag... 

A $5,280 gaming computer. Every single part paid for in BTC.

Beers at Room 77, Berlin! Now looking forward to the "Bitcoin boulevard" in The Hague, The Netherlands. http://www.bitcoinboulevard.nl/

vps, domain, hosting :P

That I can recall of, gold bars, silver and platinum (bitgild.com), a car and vps services.

Bitcoin miners... to close the loop ;)

Bought domain names with BTC.'

Some guy a while ago bought a pizza for 10,000 BTC( Worth 5million+ now), even though it was worth about $40 then. Lawl.

Who knows if Bitcoin would be where it is today if he had not bought those two pizzas... Butterflies flapping wings!  :)

Still he could of used 5,000 instead of 10,000 for them, average full sized pizza with 2 toppings(at least where I live) costs about $20 or so. But yea, if his buying pizza for that much Bitcoin didn't happen and attract all that attention, Bitcoin might be where it is today.

Beer, multiple times.
Food in a restaurant.
MP3 song https://www.coindl.com/page/item/542

They weren't worth anything at the time (early 2010.)

That's the very first recorded Bitcoin purchase, and it basically set the initial price for a bitcoin at $0.002 each. Quite a steal in hindsight.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0

I bought an Armory t-shirt with my Armory donation.  Also, unfortunately, I too contributed to the make TradeFortress a millionaire fund.

SSD drive on tigerdirect.

Silver, sweatshirt, coffee mug, coffee, graphic card.

If you are in the US, good luck paying capital gains taxes for all that ...

Gold bars (Bit-Gild)
Casascius coins (Thanks Mike!)
Food & drinks (Bar Foxx)

A 2k USD gaming computer (Webhallen)
Some more ASIC riggs to my farm (Group buy here on Bitcointalk)
Airline tickets to Amsterdam and Brussels (In 2 months!)

So far, so good...

Edit: Steam games and "stuff" from Silk Road 1.0 also  ;)

MORE KHS!! :o

I'm at 379khs now and making almost .5% profit on it daily.  :8
(Scrypt.CC?ref=baagt (http://Scrypt.CC?ref=baagt), Using the ref link won't decrease your profits, it just gives the referral bonus to Scc)

Loving it!

That's top dollar for a gaming rig.
Every single part...
You are saying the parts cost that much and you built it yourself?
Sound like a wild time...

Most people in the U.S. with "off the book" gains rarely do that. It'd be like paying sales tax on your yard sale profits.

Now, if someone bought a yacht....

I commissioned a digital painting from a guy around the end of 2012, I believe, for BTC3. At the time, Bitcoin was around $30, I believe.

At today's rate, I paid $1,751.31 for that painting. And I don't regret it at all. It's fantastic to see how far BitCoin has come in just over a year.

I still have that painting on my computer. At some point I'd like to get it made into a framed poster for my office wall. It'd be a good story, I think, to bring up the success of BitCoin from when I was first introduced to it.

My 3rd Antminer S1.

Still waiting on delivery. Get here soon, I have a nice empty spot on my rack just waiting for it.

I traveled back in time and used my Bitcoin to buy slaves, then I traveled forward in time to the nightmare world of the future and forced those slaves to build me a time machine so I could travel back in time.

Indeed it will be. Star Citizen demands a top notch rig.

I bought a cheese burger at a local downtown burger chain.

Just yesterday I got some domains, a year VPN subscription and some website hosting.

Its great to see some of the longer term websites accepting Bitcoin actually sticking around as quiet a few have fallen for one reason or another so it just shows the ones that are still around are run by developers with conviction and passion for what they do.

Me too. Hosting and VPN.

Bitcoin is currently in circulation can be in a small area, a number of merchants and businesses to accept bitcoin, although you probably will never go there to buy their stuff.Of course, some sites also accept bitcoin donations！
