Nice thread.
This show to us the difference between an consumist and an investor.
Next time that you will go buy something, you can think in this example and buy bitcoin instead of the product that you want.

The price of bitcoins that I used to buy a smartphone in the early 2015 might be doubled now. If I could only have saved it instead of spending it maybe i can be able to buy laptop now for my online need. The price of bitcoin now is nearing $800 with a possibility of reaching the $1000 mark early next year.

Aw. That hurts. Nice site, but I would have been better off not knowing. D*mnit.  My first phone ever, I bought a Nokia around 2008-2009 and the site says I'd have had $7,131,053 now. 7 million. Urgh. Anyway, I know that even if I hadn't bought that phone, I never would have bought Bitcoin. The most that I could have put in bitcoin at that time was around $100.  |

Though it was not my first smartphone, because my first isn't listed there. But this Nokia phone was about my 5th or 6th phone, the site shows if I had bought bitcoin instead, it would probably be worth $7,118,792 now. So I could have been billionaire in my country with that amount... O I wish!   |

Well probably a lot already,i just thought if i knew bitcoin first before smartphones are on the market.i would rather have my btc than a smartphones.Smartphone consume money while on bitcoins you earned money,then that's the difference between the two,maybe i earned more than what the price i have spend on my smartphone.

It would be much lesser in value. When I purchased my smartphone the price of bitcoin was 1000$ and so if I did not purchased my smartphones I would have lost 300$ at this point of time. But btc is now moving up and I am waiting for it to increase more and hope it will go back to 1000$ so my earned bitcoins at this moment will have more interest.

you just need to wait a bit longer  check again in a couple of years the smartphone you have now will be on some scrapheap and the bitcoin will likely be $5000-10,000 |

Most users who bought a smartphone if spend those into bitcoin or invested into it some might have been found as a millionaires now. I haven't spend much on buying my smartphone, so it gives a fulfilment on thinking about bitcoin.

My first smartphone wasn't so very expensive so if I recall well and having in mind the price back then I would have around 0.5 Bitcoins. But I use my smartphone for Bitcoin applications and for this forum too and for many other things that I need for every day so I don't think this is a bad investment.

I bought my first smartphone in 2012. I spend ~150 on it. Then bitcoin price was ~$13. So, I would be able to buy ~11 btc. Today these such amount of btc worth $9400.

There are really regrets for those people who bought smartphone on last year since bitcoins price isnt that high enough and you are right we cant really change the past and the thing is already done and cant really go back.Better to hold off bitcoin and wont tend to purchase smartphone again hehehe |

I know their slogan "Oppo selfie phone", i think you are one of the selfie lover. However i think it could have been better if you had only spent $100-$200 in another smartphone and held those 0.20 BTC for future. I have smartphone worth only $120 and it is more than enough for me even i can do trading with it. |
