Bitcoin Forum

Let's brag a little.

Now I know most people only hoard their bitcoins as a investment.

But let's see, if people acctually buy something with it. You do not have to give specifics, but share with us, on what the most expensive thing, was.

Most people says, Bitcoin is a gimick {toy money} and nobody would buy something expensive with it. Let's proof them wrong.

If you have acctual proof, it would be better. {Eg. Pointing to a thread or aution in the services section etc. etc.}

Enjoy, the thread, it's just for fun. :D

I bought life with bitcoin! because of my donations to animal rescue, they were able to save a few dogs and cats and now, animals are living happily with their new families. You can't put a price on that

I havent bought anything because I only have a little bit and i want to hold it.

Well for the purpose of this excercise, let's keep to something, physical. Something you can touch.

st4nl3y - Please post a link to that site, I am sure there are others, who would want to donate too. It's a good cause.

Maybe its the link in his signature?

I spent 20 BTC on my Minecraft account. i also spent 100 BTC on a VPS that I never used a while back. :)

EDIT: Minecraft thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4226

EDIT2: My mistake, they were 20 BTC. I think they went up to 30 when he started running out of accounts or something

Why and how did you spend 30btc on Minecraft?

My most expensive thing was buying the contracts from butterfly labs.
Those where only 10 dollar per contract, so I havent spend alot yet, however all those little expenses keep counting up.

But im thinking about to invest some of my bitcoins in to some weed.
So I can smoke whenever I want and also have alot of friends I can sell some to.

it's in my signature :)

sadly, bitcoin community has changed and generous donators for good causes are nowhere to be found :(

I edited my post with the link to the thread. At the time I believe Bitcoins were about a dollar. This guy was selling Alpha accounts, which meant that you wouldn't have to pay again for Minecraft after the beta was over or something. I also bought multiple accounts for friends too. Probably spent around 120 BTC through PM's with this guy, all on Minecraft accounts, haha.

interesting

DOH! Did not spot the signature link ??? It's so TINY

Well so far the closest we got to something you can touch, is weed. Hmmmm looks like the Nay Sayers are right.

You can only buy service's and digital goods.

Blink 

Nothing yet.

I was about to buy a walmart gift card, but then I was a few days late. :(
http://www.coindesk.com/gyft-forced-end-walmart-gift-card-support/

You can buy 14 different gift cards with bitcoin, and use them to buy a lot of different products.
http://www.gyft.com/shop-for-gift-cards/

Television from tiger-direct.com
Canon DSLR from Overstock.com
Annual newspaper subscription from the Chicago Sun-Times.

They all use BitPay or Coinbase to handle the transactions, so I didn't need to get gift certificates or negotiate with any one else.  I just paid with bitcoins on the website when I finished my order.

If you can, please add the cost. {Eg. It cost 2BTC and at the time was worth $4000}

Would give us an idea, of how much it was.

DannyHamilton - You have "Brag" rights so far. Biggest object bought with Crypto Currency. Thanks for sharing.

Bitcoin + Gyft --> Amazon gift cards. I've bought quite a bit. Biggest single purchase was probably the Volcano Vaporizer -- classic solid valve system. $550 or thereabouts. Very happy. :D

I just recently bougth an ASIC miner for 1 BTC, i hope i get up the ranks in the coming months so i spend some more :)

I spent 10000 bitcoins to buy a pizza some years ago... not ;D
The only "things" I have bought are the alt cryptos and the most expensive one was the "42 coin".

Amazon gift cards when Bitcoin was at $1,000. Two Bitcoins worth.

I bet you mean the famous 10 000 BTC pizza bought in 2010 by laszlo  ;) (original thread: Pizza for bitcoins? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0))

to OP question, only physical thing I bought is printer, cost me 0.08 BTC, but far more I spent for renting an ad space

I haven't bought much. Just holding mostly. Sometimes I send some bitcents or a .1 to Foodler to order some dinner, but that's about it. :D

A night in amsterdam. :)

At one point, I bought tens of thousands of Litecoin. Does that count? I sold 'em for about 3 times the amount of bitcoins that I put in. 8)

A computer last week for 6btc.
Loving the computer, wish I could still have the coins too though.
Damn cake eating.

I used to do some 100btc double or nothing beta, but mind you BTC was only $5-10 back then :(
wish I held onto them.. would of been riiiiiiiich. but here i am now.. poor :(

Well a $4000.00 {USD} computer, surely are a beast? Where did you buy it?

You going to use it to mine?

Thanks for the info, it just shows, stuff can be bought with bitcoins.  8)

Just some Mobile recharges.

It was closer to $3000 when I spent them, but still it is a nice machine, should get me through college and then some.
I didn't really consider mining until I'd put it together, went for a nVidia card. Turns out that's not great for mining.
I bought it from Scan.co.uk, great site, well established and they use coinbase.
They ship to Europe. Not sure about US, but you'd likely be better off finding somewhere closer like Overstock.

new harddrive cost me around 0.25 BTC last month ;D
i want to know what are specs for your computer?
it seems very high end one if you bought with 6 BTC

Hahaha..  I got your bitcoins sucka...    :D  (That was me...)

Seriously though, I think me and Ryland could be considered friends to this day.. and certainly at the time that's what bitcoins were worth. ($1 Each)

I'll add to this thread... I sent BFL 186BTC for a 60GH/s Bitcoin miner... got delayed for 13 months and mined 16BTC with it before it became worthless.

I think we are answering the question wrong though, because we are answering it as "What is the most amount of bitcoins you spent that you regret today because of how much they are worth now."

Haven't bought anything with Bitcoin yet, though I have donated a small amount in bitcoin last year. :)

 I bought a brand new X BOX 360 game  on e-bay.

The most expensive thing i've ever bought was probaly my huge bong i bought off a private market. for 250$

I spent quite some bitcoin on Primedice and Just-Dice for a lesson of "Emotion Management" lol. ;)

most expensive was $100 Steam Wallet Code

haha I'll one up you, I spent 209BTC for my SC Single and it earned 17BTC back.

Recently I bought a laptop at overstock.com with BTC as payment.

I've never bought anything with btc exept a single licence key, I'll hold them all :)

I've bought dollars with bitcoins, I confess.

The most expensive thing I bought was a video card which I used to mine some months ago,
but now it's useless for mining and I use it only for gaming purposes.

The most expensive thing was using bitcoin to buy antminer S3.

i have bought many small things like gift cards, small donations , but mostly were renting of rigs and miners

I recently bought four business-class airline tickets with bitcoin through cheapair.com because I needed to travel urgently on a weekend and I couldn't transfer FIAT from my bank account to my credit card because the banks were shut.

Cheapair were awesome. Expedia, for the hotel, not so much. Took two goes to book it after having to spend an hour on the phone explaining to the guy that, yes, they do accept bitcoin for hotel bookings now even if his employer hasn't told him about it yet. The first attempt to book the room saw Expedia lose the room before the transaction had completed (!) and, because I'd already sent the bitcoin, I had to find out how to get it back. Turns out you get it back automatically through Coinbase emailing you about it.

I actually funded the weekend stay in London with bitcoin, but through VRC's VeriBIT service at a couple of bitcoin ATM's while I was there.

VRC>BTC>GBP in one transaction. Sweet.

wow! that all sounds good :)
kool! bitcoin really is taking over the world :D

hmm most expensive item purchased new with the android bitcoin me :)
but next rencaya I want to buy a motorcycle with bitcoin hopefully achieved amin :)
