Just wondering what people buying with they coin?
Most I spent was 1.5 BTC on gambling speculation (betting against BFL delivering ha ha!)
can anyone top 1.5BTC?
I had to buy darn dollars on few occasions... Must have spent a couple of thousands of coins altogether (the price wasn't always like what we see today). |
They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.

I guess some people are here to show off what they use to compensate for other things. LMAO
I rarely use bitcoins as an actual way to buy materialistic things, I have brought gift cards and codes for things ~1btc. But my largest purchase was my dedicated box.

I just recently put an order through for a BFL little single for ~24.4BTC - in the past I probably gave that many BTC to bitbrew... and today spent about the same fiat value as that now ~4BTC to http://the-chocolate-tree.bit-trade.co.uk |

Almost the only thing I've ever done with BTC is donate them to causes I appreciate. Or appreciated at a point in time. Probably the largest amount with to Wikileaks, but it could have been to an abortive project originally convinced of by ~evoorhees. Cannot really remember the name of it. Operation Bitcoin or something dopey like that. Last I knew ~trentbz or some such had control of them.
I've donated token amounts to scammers/plonkers (a term which fits many if not most Bitcoin related 'titans of industry') so the Bitcoin Consultancy and whoever ran bitmarket.eu have a few which I used to own. No more than I expected though.
A vast majority of the value I hold passed through Tradehill in the form of BTC and USD. They shut down with grace and left me completely whole even though they held the not insignificant amount of fiat I hoped to pump into BTC if the price got down into the $1.xx/BTC range. They also, however, have proof of my identity, IP addresses vs. time, and so on. Unless they trashed it.
I remain at risk of donating what is a fairly significant about of value to Instawallet thanks to the recent price run-up but so far ~davout and company have proven reliable and competent. Mt. Gox could get me for a few BTC at their leisure as well as I recall...and they already gave a throw-away name and one-time password hash to third parties.

244 BTC on bASIC's that never materialized  Even if I got the refund of $2,759, I'd be out a loss of just over $5k at current Bitcoin price. |

Converted about 900 BTC to USD (no BTC economy for medical supplies) and spent it on medical supplies for charity work I did in 2011 - that was the single largest transaction (back when the price fell to $8 from $32 high).
Learned a lesson from Pirate's BTCST at a cost of 510 BTC. And a secondary lesson from Hashking that insured means jack shit (that was another 41BTC).

An imaginary TouchPad from a scammer. Better to learn the lesson earlier than later I suppose (this was probably a year ago).
Ouch , sry to hear that. Since you been in the game a while you've probably made that back a few times though probably  |

200 BTC into DISHWARA failed mining operations.
Happily he returned all my money ^.^ DISHWARA is one of the most honourable persons I ever saw.
Later I lost 300 BTC doing crazed leveraged trade with Bitcoinica :/
I think that when Bitcoinica got hacked, my account was negative...
But most of those 300 BTC I had bought for very cheap (like, 5 USD).
My biggest loss in USD terms was probably Bitcoinica trading first, and gambling on Andrew Bitcoiner site second (I won, it is just that he ran away with the money).
