I would have bought a little more than a single BTC pre 2013 bubble, my first smartphone was around 200 USD and I had gotten it around that time. It would have been some fast profit with the bubble back then, not that bitcoin's price didn't fall again. But most of my btc have been earned other tnan bought either way.

Haha this is still very fresh in my mind because I paid half of a bitcoin for my new phone. I couldn't find anyone that owned the phone I wanted that would accept bitcoins so I sold them for $800CAD/BTC. As of right now my phone would have been $500CAD which all things considered would still be an ok deal. That's how much I would have paid after tax if I bought it off of eBay and it would have been even more other places.
The thing is, I use my phone for everything including posting on bitcointalk. So really it's an investment to keep earning bitcoins. If I'm trying to sell something on bitcointalk and I don't get a hold of someone for days because I don't want to be bothered to go to a computer I'll probably lose that customer so it all works out in the end.

Honestly the price of bitcoin and the phone there is not the same before and bitcoin price before is cheap so if i did not bought a phone with iphone 5 last year maybe right now it gives me a good profit 100% profit or it double right now because of the price increase from last year.. but it is not a problem because we are still getting the benefits of price increase right now even we don't holding lots of bitcoin..

Yeah. If I were to discover bitcoin as earlier before I bought my phone. Maybe right now I am holding for about two to three Bitcoin approximately right now. Especially I am doing trading, which I can double or triple my bitcoin in no time if lucky. And spending on nonsense stuffs like things that I don't really need rather than investing in trading. I think if I did the right thing, it may generate a decent amount of profit right now.

I do not want to know because I do not want to be depressed. I bought my smart phone when the price of bitcoin was still in cents, so you can just imagine how much it could have been by now.

I would probably have something like $500 Canadian in Bitcoin.
Got my first smartphone this year, back when bitcoin was hovering around $600. If I estimate it correct, it would translate into something like $700 or $800 Canadian now that I really think about it, however I don't remember what it was exactly so it really comes down to just a ballpark estimate.

$300.
Bought my first smartphone back in 2013, and that was when it was hovering around $700. It's now at the same (or similar) value now and I spent approximately $300 on my first smartphone. As such, my investment wouldn't have changed between those periods of time.
Kind of a shame.

Calculated it and well it is really a big return if I bought bitcon but I during those time i was not aware that bitcoin exist. So either way i won't regret buying my CP because during that time bitcoin for me does not exist. And besides, the bought cellphone at served it purpose. Used to contact my group whenever there is an event or a follow up sales is needed.

I'm probably in the minority on this one. Bought 1st smartphone in 2013 and I really didn't buy it. I upgraded my phone plan and basically got it for a few dollars. Still have the thing, too. Thus I probably would have LOST money if I'd bought any amount of btc in 2013. I'd like to say I planned it this way, but I did not. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Im planning to buy a new smartphone again for the benefit of bitcoin. I need a new phone that will not drain that fast so i think i can still continue to buy hoping i can earn more and it will be an investment too. I was just having other thoughts because of this thread luckily I found your reply so I can still buy.
