I'm sure I'm not the only one but I've bought a domain registration for $150 and a USB Block Erupter for $900 in today's money !! I could have had a nice new laptop had I not squandered it.

I bought a 2btc bitcoin erupter. No regrets, it's collector. ( also i bought it for 200$ as i changed euro to pay for it and didn't reduce my bitcoin capital) Still 2000$ makes it a expensive toy ahah, i don't even bother minning with it now! Also i bought a blade for 5.5btc same idea :p Or a 10€ double beer 0.1 btc a few month back to pay back a friend! i remember i told him that soon it was going to pay of the entire bill. I was wrong, payed it off 5 times now ahah i'm very happy with all that at the end...

You can't look back and regret buying things for BTC. We all know that BTC will be worth more in the future, but it will only get there if people are using it for purchases and growing the BTC economy. So buy extra BTC on top of the ones you're going to hold, and set them aside to spend on stuff which you would have spent the fiat on. Doing this increases the value of the coins you are holding long term, so its win-win.

these purchases are not that stupid like you think. Imagine, that thanks to them bitcoin price could grow like it did because you encouraged more merchants to accept them or at last consider it.

Yeah depends on when you spend it. The value increased so quickly that only one month old purchases already look ridiculous !

Keep making those purchases! Just learn from the past and every time you spend some BTC, treat it like you're spending from your fiat accounts... turn right around and spend the corresponding fiat to buy back your BTC for your "savings account." No loss, and you're still promoting Bitcoin use as a transfer mechanism and a currency, while enjoying its benefit as a store of wealth.

mhmm yeah, have 3 BTC floating somewhere with a lost and formatted hard drive. only wallet address exists...(guess worth holding on to it for the future). had 6.5BTC earlier this year and bought a butterfly jalapeno with it. oh well, live and learn from your mistakes. what doesn't kill you simply makes you stronger

You can see it like this: When you have bitcoins bought for 10$ and then buy something, when it is at 50$, dann it is like cashing out. And this is reasonable to do. Many people do this, me included. Yesterday I thought I sell one bitcoin. A few hours later it was 100€ higher. This is bad luck, but it could easily have been 100€ less. So everything is all right

Once upon a time a guy bough a pizza with 10 mils (by btc prices now). Had he not bough that pizza , maybe right now 1BTC would still be 2 cents.

1 Year VPN subscription for 90€/BTC, then converted some BTC to fiat at 300€/BTC but I don't regret anything because I know that the Bitcoin price wasn't foreseeable and could go either ways.
