I went to buy a phone with my friend today. Going there, Iphone 13 pro max became my favorite phone. And arouses interest in buying. But I did not have enough money to buy that phone in my pocket. I laugh and talk about Bitcoin to the owner of that showroom. I was surprised to that the owner of that showroom want to sell his phone to me for Bitcoin. And I asked him again, "Are you kidding me?"then He immediately gave me a bitcoin wallet to pay him. I paid him bitcoin and bought the Iphone 13 pro max.
Since the price of Bitcoin has come down a lot now, it has become foolish for me to buy the phone with Bitcoin. Because for that I have to spend more bitcoin. But still I am very happy to be able to do it. Because in my country Bitcoin is still declared as an illegal currency. Nevertheless, I got this advantage
I was on the same shoes as you- I was planning on getting the iPhone 13 using my BTC proceeds but at the back of my head, I am somehow losing the value of HODLing my BTCs for the future.
Unfortunately, I was not able to convert my BTCs to cash when its price reached $60,000. I had like $2,000 worth of BTCs in my wallet but it quickly plummeted down when its price crashed. After the crash, that was the only time that I was able to cash out my BTCs in which I wasted around $1,000 worth. Good thing you were able to purchase your phone using BTCs, OP!
