What have you bought with Bitcoin? Is it easy? And how can I do it right?

[ahmedjamal1998]

While I'm not really keen on actually buying stuff using bitcoins as I prefer so just sell high and buy using normal USD (since that gets me a bit of profit) but I actually did buy a few things online.

But none of them were physical stuff. I bought a few gift cards for my PSN account using a website called g2a. Actually it became my go-to way whenever I want to top up my account.

If you're a person who deals with servers and hosting then you'll be happy to know that I also rented out a few VPS devices from vultr.com using btc as well but they require that the first payment is to be made using paypal or a credit card (have no idea why) but later on you can use btc.

Is it easy? And how can I do it right?

Yep it's easy and takes no time (if your transaction fees are on the spot). Just tell us what you're trying to buy and we'll happily assist.

I started being a bitcoiner here in this forum last January, and after 2 months probably it will be my first year in cryptocurrency. I have bought cellphone, mouse, eyeglasses and many more with bitcoins. It is so fun being in this crypto.

To "do it right" you have to use an trusted escrow and trade only with merchants with lots of positive reviews from previous customers.This year,i have bought a money making method from a forum seller here,in the "Digital goods" forum board.I paid 31 USD in bitcoins and i wasn`t very happy with what i got,but now i don`t care that much.Right now i don`t buy anything with my bitcoins,i just hold them and wait for a 10 000 USD price around Christmass.

Actually, I use the major portion of my bitcoins for trading only. The main intention that I have behind buying and holding bitcoin is that I need to make profit while trading in it.

Here in my country, there is an exchange that offers a lot of services like paying bills, buying stuff in selected merchants and prepaid loads. I only tried buying prepaid load with my Bitcoins for my internet connection and so far so good. The transaction is so fast because I got the load right after the said transaction. Other than that I bought kitchen appliances for my brother and father but the difference is I sent my Bitcoins to local exchanges then to remittance. In other words I converted my Bitcoins to fiat money there is no local and physical stores in my area to accept Bitcoin payment yet but still that money was from my Bitcoin income most especially payments from signature campaigns. All in all Bitcoin transaction is super fast and easy.

Never bought anything using Bitcoin itself, but bought a lot of things after converting it to fiat. The biggest thing i bought with bitcoins was a bike before a year or so. That was the first time when i cashed out my bitcoins for the only reason, to buy a bike for myself and i was so happy to do so. It feels so nice when you buy something for yourself for the first time, with your own money. It was the first time for me to earn money as well, and that was because of bitcoin. I can never forget those life changing moments.

None so far, but I convert it to fiat to by some stuff. So ideally, I'm still buying stuff with bitcoin indirectly. This kind of adoption would be rocking hard when lightning is already implemented. I'd recommend people to talk to your wallet provider to adopt segwit as a start.

there is a small online shop (gardening stuffs) here that accept BTC as payment, transaction went smooth and without any issue.
Was surprisingly amazed when i've found they added BTC as for of payment, it was easy and fast, i would really like more and more shops to accept BTC, it would speed up everything!
On the other hand, when i can't pay directly with BTC i just convert some into fiat and pay with paypal, easy peasy!

Here in the Philippines we have a wallet that we can use to pay Bills, Tuition fee and Buy prepaid load etc. and it has a mini exchange "Philippine Peso to Bitcoin". It does have some advantages and disadvantages when it comes to getting your Bitcoin to fiat. My First Bitcoin purchase is a Full dinner at a local restaurant here in the philippines.

I did not buy anything with bitcoin because I'm optimistic about the future of bitcoin, so I do not want to use my bitcoin right now, and I'm going to invest bitcoin for a long time.

I used to purchase a lot with Bitcoin until 2015 both from normal markets and from dark markets (not any drugs or other contraband). I have purchased gold bullion coins, US Dollar bank notes, prescription medicines, premium subscription to some websites, hacking services.etc using Bitcoin. But ever since the prices started rising, I stopped spending by BTCs.

[Barbut]

Directly with bitcoins I bought some games from steam, few tines Netflix, my try to buy iPhone here was disaster and I was scammed for some bitcoin, many different altcoins, icos, I gamble with my bitcoins.
With money I got from selling bitcoins I bought so many things, in past year list is endless. Bitcoins helped me a lot, and with luck from gambling and some good investments I managed to buy many things for myself, for the house, once I fixed my car with money from bitcoins, I didn't have money it was or to sell bitcoins I have and fox it or to wait almost a month for my next salary.

What have you bought with Bitcoin?

As to material things, I exchange my bitcoin into fiat first, as Bitcoin is still not accepted in stores here at our country. In my 4 months in the crypto world, I already bought many things such as phone, air conditioner and more, I am also able to build a mini store and pay my school tuition fee because of my earnings here at the forum. I also used my BTC to buy ETH, as it is one of the worth to buy with bitcoin, and also prepaid load.

Is it easy? And how can I do it right?

Just sell when the market value is high. And invest again the spare.

Digital stuff, mostly. Like domain names, hosting, Steam wallet and items, mobile top-up, etc. Yes, it's so convenient and easy. But right now I would think twice before using Bitcoin to buy those things. The fee for each transaction is quite expensive currently, reaching as high as $7-$10 for normal/low size transaction. It's silly to spend $10 in fee when your item price is around the same level. These high fee issue has existed sometime before but now it's getting serious and annoying. Combination of the number of tx stuck in the mempool + Bitcoin crazy high price caused this.  Lets hope that future implementation could scale Bitcoin up and fixes this issue.

I remember that I used regularly buy mobile top-up ($0.5 and $1 increment usually) using Bitcoin back in the days. The tx fee was only BTC0.0001 and at that time it was only worth around 5 cents. Right now it's just not logical anymore to do small top-up using Bitcoin.

How to do it right? Get some BTC, order something, send BTC. Done. As simple as that. You should try it to understand how it works on customer level.

I'm only 4 months old in bitcointalk, and until now there's nothing I can buy, because I have not gotten bitcoin yet. it is not easy, it takes the sacrifice of time, energy, and mind.
you have to be patient and spirit to get it.

[asdlolciterquit]

well...i've only bought some other crypto

I think that in the long distance price will be higher so i don't use it to buy stuff or something...not yet.
