I'm overly curious to know - is BTC only about speculation? Or have you used bitcoins for day to day transactions. I would like to hear your story, what have you purchased with Bitcoins, and why Bitcoins and not a standard currency?

I bought a PS3 on the forums here for around 10-15 btc, used it once. And a concealed carry gun holder for around 1.5btc. I've sold a good hundred or two btc worth of misc things too.

Which forum is the most interesting for these types of transactions?

I spent some of my btc for bills :-) But I had to pay in $ :-) so exchange was needed.
Back to topic: there are so many goods around internet that you can buy for btc...

I unfortunately bought a Jalapeno and then transferred it to mining by the Ghash. HUGE MISTAKE. Have donated and given away around 1.2+ btc in the last 6 months - lots of paper wallets as gifts. Bought some paper wallet supplies as well. All in all, over 50 transactions.

BTC = Black Swan. BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

Same here. There is nothing I really need, and can't buy with real currency. Once there is something that I absolutely want and can only by with BTC, or there is a large discount with BTC, then maybe i'll buy something with it.

Of course it's not just about speculation. It is a currency, just a new one that is currently growing.
