What have you bought with Bitcoin?

[Bitcasino.io Support]

Hi, Bitcoin fans

Did you know?
Bitcoin was first used to make a purchase in the “real” world by Hungarian programmer, Laszlo Hanyecz on May 22, 2010.
He bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, which were worth about $30 back then Today these pizzas would cost about $600 million!

Since then this day is known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
And it started right here in Bitcointalk. Check Laszlo’s thread here: Pizza for bitcoins?

How about you? What have you bought with BTC?

If you want to share it, you can take part in the exciting Pizza Day Story Challenge!

1. Post your Bitcoin story on Twitter or Instagram
2. Share it on pizza.io site
3. Include hashtag #pizzaio and tag @BitcoinPizza_io

What’s in it for you?
A slice of pizza? No But a slice of something bigger, if you're lucky

Cheers,
Karl

Interesting contest, although I'm somewhat surprised that Random.org is used instead of something based on a certain block hash, as it should be done in any bitcoin-related contest...

Submitted my story too, let's see how it goes Would be really interesting to read other stories, too. It corresponds to the topic I recently start about paying for things with crypto, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5335076

I haven't bought anything tangible yet except for altcoins. Reinvesting bitcoin into other altcoins maybe the best futuristic experience we may have. The reason is when the worth of bitcoin we spend in buying the commodity or goods increase in the next few years, the feeling of regret may show up like the pizza story now at a worth of $600 million lol. I think buying altcoins is what I can go for now.

Is the site still online? I am getting a Cloudflare Error 523 when I try to visit it.

Regarding purchases made with bitcoin. I occasionally spend a few coins when I am on holiday. I have spent bitcoin on airline tickets and accommodation in the past. I am not a big fan of carrying bitcoin with me when I travel because most of it is in cold storage.

A tech shop near my place of living has started accepting crypto a few months ago. Since my TV is starting to show the occasional stuck pixel here an there, it's time for a change. A new TV is going to be my next investment.

More than a decade after Laszlo bought his pizza, I still can't buy a slice with my Bitcoin here in my place. I hope I can soon. Well, at least I can pay some of my bills with Bitcoin.

Anyway, this is a great initiative to celebrate the commemoration of the first ever purchase using BTC. I hope this story will be taken more as a success story than a story of regret. This is one of the most memorable milestones of Bitcoin. As such, Bitcoin Pizza Day brings a beautiful story to remember.

i have never bought with my Bitcoin and didn't intend to do that.  i want to collect as much bitcoin as i can collect.  making Bitcoin a long-term investment asset i think is much better than using it to pay.

Anyway, Lazlo's story will be remembered forever...

What's the limit to that time that you are going to hodl your bitcoin, you shouldn't make it a really long time, remember to always get some profit when there is an all time high in the market prices, it helps that youget to enjoy what you are hodling once in a while. I spend mine on electronics the first time and built my PC along the way.

To be honest, I brought a painting to this forum via bitcoin. The painting was worth 0.5554 bitcoin way back then and I am very grateful that because of my holdings I brought a very good painting in which it is a painting of a girl who is carrying the world of bitcoin. Last year I brought a motorcycle from my bitcoin holdings in which I converted first into fiat money in order to buy it in the motorcycle shop. Bitcoin gives me a lot of things and I am very grateful to this bitcoin as it is surges now and then.

I am still a beginner in the crypto world so basically, I haven't earned yet a huge amount of bitcoin, so I would never buy that kind of pizza, I am into investing in bitcoin and some altcoins, and some of my earnings in bitcoin is already converted into cash and used it in some of my needs but as long as it is not important, I never pull it out and just hold it for a long term. Anyway, good luck with that contest, that would be great for those who already have bought a bitcoin pizza.

That's a good way to make a PR from Bitcasino and Sportsbet. I have bought games and premium accounts through BTC and other alts in the past. It was really easy and I needed them for some work stuff. I didn't have a credit card so crypto came to my rescue and lots of my issues solved using it. Will be writing my story and posting it as am feeling lucky recently.

It is online, I just checked. Cloudfare is having its DNS messed up again, I guess. Try reboot your router, sometimes it helps.

That's cool.
My first buy? That's the problem. I have nothing to share yet. Every purchase was exchanged with fiat first and that's not the same. 
But good luck with this and can we also see the stories being shared? Or we should still need to find it on Twitter?
I mean, will you also put the links in OP of those who shared their experiences? So that everyone could read it in this forum especially those who don't have any Twitter accounts.

Just imagine if the pizza owner or the reciever of that amount of bitcoin kept on holding up until now, that's a lot of money much more than we can fathom. See how interesting bitcoin has become, from having a $30 value, after a decade it was able to reach $20k+. If only people back in the days knew bitcoin would be this big, we'll see plenty of people holding their bitcoin. Even I, I will definitely make sure to buy a lot of bitcoin and hold even for a decade just to experience the wealth I have always been dreaming of. But it's not really too late, we can still make it happen but not as easy as it is before.

It's quite hard to buy something with bitcoin for me right now due to the lack of sellers accepting it as payment method, but the most notorious item I have bought with btc so far was in fact a bitcoin hardware wallet.
I felt really glad to be able to finish this purchase with bitcoin and I would like to do this more often, paying with bitcoin for another products.

[amihada]

I haven't bought anything with bitcoin, I just made it a digital asset and I exchange it for fiat in my country, don't pass transactions with digital coins, maybe one day bitcoin has been accepted as a possible transaction like I did buying a car and a house.

I can recall clearly I bought two things by Bitcoin directly. I bought the domain from Namecheap with Bitcoin. Although I had to change my IP via VPN due to a juridical issue, but feel good at least I can use Bitcoin directly when I need it in specific places. Another is I bought an Amazon gift card from the forum via Bitcoin directly and bought a product from there. So, I can proudly say I have used Bitcoin to buy something directly. And the overall experience was good.

[DeathAngel]

I’ve bought loads of stuff with bitcoin on purse.io

I’ve bought loads of stuff with bitcoin indirectly too using my Coinbase VISA card.

I bought a car with BTC in my dream, seriously I work hard but at the weekend I feel everything is same as last week.

[goldade]

I am sure that not so many people here would have bought something with bitcoin and this is because it is mostly considered as investment assets and not a currency. Besides, the potential of making more in the case of an increase in the value of bitcoin is probably what scares people from making that purchase with bitcoin.
I actually have not bought anything yet with bitcoin. Rather, I have received bitcoin as payment for my services.  I design graphics and I had the privilege of meeting someone who would pay for my services in bitcoin. That was fulfilling
