I'm curious as to what people buy with bitcoin? Surely we can't all just horde it?! The only thing I bought was a miner from BFL. This was just before the spike so my miner has now cost me about $3,000. That's a hard pill to swallow but I know others are worse off than me. Also, I hope to make that back quickly as long as they start shipping... soon  Post up photos or just a description of what you've purchased. |

A car - but yeah, exchanged for fiat first.
Geek toys: Android tablet, helicopter (great kitty toy), odds 'n' ends like that.
Cigarettes. Damn, I wish somebody would sell real Gauloises - the black tobacco ones...
I'm putting together a new computer parts order for bitcoinstore.
Oh... yeah... peace of mind.

I've bought various things, but my top 3 would be... 3. Alpaca wool socks - I bought them mostly for bitcoinness reasons, they are a classic. But they turned out to be very good quality socks. You can hike for days and your feet don't smell. Well worth the money. If they ever wear out I will buy more. 2. VPN Service - This one I add because of the purchasing experience. I goggled for VPN and Bitcoin, looked at a few. I went with an established business that took bitcoin, so everything was just like shopping online until the purchase. At checkout I gave only an email and and sent some bitcoin. I received an email with credentials. With a credit card I would have to give all my personal info to a company I don't know. 1. Recipe for Chinese food medicine - My wife likes cooking exotic dishes. So using google translate and bitcoin I found a person in China who sold me a PDF via escrow. The PDF contained a translation of traditional recipes. That was a moment when I understood why bitcoin could become one of the most powerful ideas in the world. |

That's brilliant!!! Cookbooks of any kind are the worst books in the world to sell. People only buy them - even the rare ones - for one or two recipes. The last brick and mortar store I had, I wouldn't even carry them. People buy the book, copy the recipe, and return it. I had some maggot do that with an 1828 Louis Ude (the first book published with a recipe for the souffle): banned for life. Fucker. $800 book. |

I've bought VPN services, dog tags ( http://www.mydogtag.com/), the services of a talented web designer ( http://www.blindmikey.com). And I'd buy a lot using Bitcoin if more vendors offered that option. And I wish to god I were paid in Bitcoin for all the overseas freelance jobs I do for which the banking fees are over $30 for a transaction of a few hundred dollars. |
