If you answered yes...

What did you buy?
Where did you buy it?
Would you go back to the same vendor to buy stuff with bitcoin again?

I had some quick video editing done by some guy in #bitcoin-otc for a half a bitcoin (back wheb they were worth twelve bucks or so)

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.

"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.

There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

music, books, hosting, physical Bitcoins, donations (but that's not exactly buying) and my ticket for the European Bitcoin conference Wink

I bought at all kinds of places and never had a negative experience yet, so yes - I will continue shopping with BTC.

Hm, I'm not even sure if I can remember everything I've bought.  T-shirt, Polo, stickers, AK-47, bitbills, cassicus coins, a seiko, silver and more silver, pocket knife, crossbow, 100 trillion dollar bills, resin bitcoin, a bitcoin sterling silver ring, an LED flashlight, Amazon gift cards, cash in the mail, a tupilak, a blue canary nightlight, copper bullion, and more that I've probably forgotten.

I doubt that I can remember all as well. 

physical bitcoins by casascius, A laptop from Gavin, Dexter Blu-ray, A green screen, bitcoin keychain, artwork services, testing services, cpu's, motherboards, DDR3 ram.  I am sure I left something out!

Most of the items I've bought with bitcoins have been related to my websites: logos, photos, advertising space, domain names, business cards, refrigerator magnets. Haven't had a bad experience yet.

Still around.

All kinds of things, from online services to game licenses to cell service to rocks to a handmade necklace from Etsy.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

games, buttons, coffee (bitbrew of course), gold and silver (private sales), a stamp, gift cards, lots of gambling (darts, BJ, casino games, poker), mullvad VPN, minethings credits, countless small donations, many ads (operation fabulous and others) programming work, design work, server costs, paper money, gifts, loans, staking deals.

That's most of it.

Hoping to move food purchases to bitcoin vendors soon. Then rent and I'm done.

Zero fiat monies were involved in the creation of firstbits.com.
