I will make it a point to patronize any restaurant or business in my area that starts accepting bitcoin.

[ASanerWorld]

I spent several hundred USD worth of coins on hosting and domains for my biz. It's very helpful that NameCheap accepts Bitcoin for all charges.

If you mean beer, I'm jealous. France is soooo late.

[freethink2013]

I paid a couple of ladies to put on a show, I donated to software development and tomorrow I'll send someone .1 for winning a comp.

In total probably something like .3 spent

[No_2]

If you're going to spend it makes sense to spend during a bubble as your money buys more. However I suspect people will generally do the opposite.

Recently I've bought:

Steam games
Physical crypos of bitcoin and alts
1.1 bitcoins on 2 rounds of drinks and food at the haymakers in Cambridge

[pizzaman]

recalescence bitcoin silver coin BTC1.21 https://recalescencecoins.com/

Beef BTC0.419 http://honestbeef.com.au
modafinil BTC0.3304023 http://modup.net
Burrito BTC0.12 https://www.foodler.com/‎

I've decided to only buy with Bitcoin from merchants who accept them, I just convert from fiat first.

[phelix]

I ordered some delicious pizza from lieferservice.de (they accept BTC - hoooray)

It would be fun to find some gas stations or cafes to spend bitcoins at.

[Inkvor]

I had over 30 bitcoin months ago and i have 800 coin years ago and got only few now

[Zangelbert Bingledack]

Nothing, and proud of it.

Bitcoin is Gold 2.0. That is what's driving adoption now. Its future potential use as currency is part of the present valuation, but its current utility as a currency is very niche still, as you'd expect.

I'm not a believer in making things happen out of their due time. The marketing of Bitcoin as a digital currency has just ended up confusing a lot of people. They call it a bubble because they don't see how the price increases have followed any kind of commensurate increase in merchant adoption, and they're right about that. The price increase is due to people using Bitcoin as an investment, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact there's everything right about it. The whole point of investing is to infuse value into things that will be useful later, before others have noticed. The price rise alerts them to the potential and the current utility, which again is mainly store of value, Gold 2.0.

As the BIT investor presentation shows, the store of value function is by far the greater driver of price and potential upside. Once a good chunk of the population has figured this out and bought in, it'll be time to promote it as a currency.

[cdog]

GPUs, shoes, clothing... no food or lodging yet!

I dont know if poker chips count but I play a lot on Seals With Clubs

[freedomno1]

I'll be honest at this point I am half as tempted to start buying even more and wait for a drop or B. Think it will just keep going for a while yet and lose out lol

[Siegfried]

I paid for Astrill VPN with bitcoin.

[e4xit]

I bought gold (from Amagi), a Trezor and quite a lot of beer (from a local pub).

Have since sold the gold though and rebought coinZ (losing a few in the process, but oh well!)

[Frozenace]

I bought my BFL upgrades with bitcoin... what a mess. With that poor level of service quality you might as well not buy from the US ever again.

[Transisto]

Brought some cash.  Sad, I know.

[drawingthesun]

I buy Modafinil with Bitcoin...

[MessyCoin]

Donated to letstalkbitcoin's awesome podcast and bought computer gear from bitcoinstore

I donated to a bunch of projects, bought two trezors, a piper wallet, now I'm in new york, living off bitcoin. So yeah, I use it.

[domob]

Paying my VPS, plus I booked this year's holiday appartement on 9flats.   And maybe soon will buy soma pizza, now that lieferservice.at is accepting Bitcoins.

I've spent quite a bit of BTC making improvements to Bitcoin Reviewer.

[willphase]

I try and spend my bitcoins as much as possible - in the last six months I have bought:

 * Bitcoin mining hardware
 * Beers, burgers (in Berlin, at Room 77)
 * Espresso (in Singapore, at CAD cafe)
 * VPN (privateinternetaccess)
 * Singapore Bitcoin Conference
 * Inflatable flying shark (via Gyft and Amazon)
 * Computer hardware (Bitcoinstore)

probably some others, if I remember, I will edit this post.
