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
Is this your first purchase with the bitcoin? Buying a depreciating asset with and appreciating one is not a good choice though, to me you made a hasty decision  – but than what is money for, you get what you want. Enjoy your new phone and have fun discovering new trends of Bitcoin on it.

Maybe this was his first because the tone of his text looks excited and if this wasn't his first I think he will not bother writing it anymore because people have heard of its story before and he will also got bored of doing the same thing.

Yeah, he was pretty hasty there but he already admitted his mistake when he said that he spent more bitcoins for the phone just because the bitcoins value went down a lot but to me it was still the same. I do not mind spending my bitcoin no matter if what is its value but what important to me is that I can get the thing that I am always dreaming of. It was your inspiration on why you work hard day and night . why limit your self?

If it is illegal in your country to use bitcoins, the shopkeeper may land in trouble when filing for tax. Also, I believe you haven’t got a bill for your purchase. So, all of this is a drawback of cryptocurrencies right now. I wonder when we will be able to do such transactions normally.

Well, the case of this is only a few right now because we can't really count how many countries banned bitcoin, but now I think he has no problem because he bought it from his colleague and not from a store. If Bitcoin was illegal in their country, they couldn't even use it, so they can do it normally. Because you are complaining about bitcoin, I believe it is illegal in your country.

I don't think if their is any problem for him and the seller using bitcoin as means of transaction , in many countries where bitcoin is illegal people still used bitcoin to purchase many things with bitcoin,  it is something that is common.  What is been serious in most countries that bitcoin is illegal, is that banks don't operate with bitcoin. People still have access to bitcoin to buy whatever thing they may want.

It's a shop so I guess there's a receipt for the purchase. Most shops need to issue receipt for every purchase and I think it's all up to the owner on how he's going to make things up for him when it's come to the tax filing.

A purchase would really need a receipt also for the warranty and other perks for that product.

So, all of this is a drawback of cryptocurrencies right now. I wonder when we will be able to do such transactions normally.
It's hard to know when for the countries that has banned bitcoin but for the free and crypto friendly countries, it's already normal somehow for some purchases.

It's not a strange thing anymore if there are many who want to accept the purchase of luxury goods using bitcoin, especially if it's just an Ipohne cell , even more than that is not a strange thing anymore. because bitcoin is already known and very profitable for those who accept purchases using bitcoin.

at any time we can be sure that everyone will get used to accept any payment using bitcoin, because we know the value of bitcoin also continues to increase and is feasible even for the purchase of expensive goods.

It's really a bliss to buy or receive goods and services through cryptocurrency. Two business entities in my country asked me to pay them with a specific cryptocurrency, i felt really cool. Gradually, Cryptocurrency has come to stay. It is high time for the remaining part of the world to hop on the train of Blockchain Technology and ride along.

It will probably be a bit uncomfortable afterwards to feel like the dude who bought a pizza for 10k bitcoins. Sure the iPhone 13 is a cool phone, but I think it's silly to spend precious bitcoins on a phone that gets old every year and bitcoins get more expensive every year. I wonder what kind of shop has agreed to accept bitcoins as payment? Usually mobile phones are bought from branded shops that offer a warranty on the purchase.

There is nothing impossible buying with Bitcoin, if only you find the right traders who trade with Bitcoin.

So it's  possible to buy what ever with BTC.

Definitely, it’s something he would have a second thought about doing. Looking at the story he has told here, it’s quite clear that it wasn’t his intention to spend his bitcoin on buying an iPhone 13, but he simply did that because the seller said that he was accepting bitcoin, so he went for it and decided to spend bitcoin on the phone.

But, it’s not that bad, if he would be able to replace the bitcoin he has spent within a short time since the market has not really started being bullish. The price is still circling the $30,000 and $40,000 price rate and I think that the next bullish trend might be around next year or even two.

Wait what ?

If you bought the Iphone when the price was high and now the price is low, you eventually spent less number of coins to buy the phone.
Which is a good thing since you will have to spend more number of coins if you bought it at current price.
So whenever you buy something with BTC and the price comes down after that then you are in profits. But in the long run the price increases.
For example if you bought the phone worth $600 at 0.01 BTC at the price of $60k then you would have to spend roughly 0.015 BTC right now for the same phone.
On the other hand, if the price increases to $80k then you can think that you paid $800 for a $600 phone.

Don’t let yourself to be forced to doing something which you would end up regretting later. IPhone 13 costs a lot of money, and having to part ways with such an amount of money from your Bitcoin wallet is quite huge, so it’s likely that you would regret using your Bitcoin to buy the phone if it’s something that you never planned for.

You could have easily told the seller that you’re short on cash at the moment and would be coming back later to buy the phone. If you want you can still fund your crypto wallet with extra money if you intend to using it to buy the phone, by then you must have had more thought on it on whether you want to do it or not, simply pay with Fiat.

well, I think, nowadays people are aware of bitcoin. in fact, without our knowledge, even the people around us are also using bitcoin without us knowing it. Yes, that's a real example. anyway, congrats for using bitcoin as your transaction tool to buy an iphone 13. anyway i think it gives a pretty good feel. well, I just hope bitcoin can be an alternative payment in public places. it might make it easier for us to transact when we don't have enough money, and have crypto assets.

Don't know if it is the happiness of getting iPhone 13 or it is happiness to spend the bitcoins  Wink

I am sure, OP is happy to have an iPhone. Although he had a lack of fiat money at that time and he was able to spend his bitcoins to get the iphone.

Many people do know about bitcoins but they fear to take bitcoin in return of goods or services because either they are afraid of its volatility or it is not considered legal in most of the places. However, as the time passes and awareness increases, we may see more transactions being done in cryptocurrencies.

I think you are very lucky person that your government gave you opportunity to buy iPhone with BTC. Hope one day my govt will take necessary steps to buy anything with BTC.

Nowadays btc also playing significant role besides fiat and i must appreciate owner of that showroom who agree to take btc payment when market was passing throughout volatility. Even i hope you have enough btc on hold in your wallet and thats why you spend some btc to bought your iPhone 13 pro max! Cause that can be considered as big amount. but i'm happy for people like you who purchase products by spending btc & spread it worldwide
Bitcoin was really created for that payment system and does really need up circulation but we do know that due into its potential in terms of investment then it do
falls into that category of store of value which i couldnt really blame people on but since we do own those coins then its none others business on how we should
spend or make use of them whether we do directly make out transactions from coin to coin or would simply make use of our fiat instead and save up those
coins for long term.

That said, it's actually a good thing. You can get used to buying anything with bitcoin.
Many people are still used to investing in Bitcoin. They don't think it's wise to use Bitcoin to pay for things.
Your actions are very friendly for Bitcoin to become a global currency.
Bitcoin is a good investment and at the same time a good currency. But thinking that it will create higher value in the coming days, months or years, so most wise investors prefer to hold it than spend it at its current value. But i believe even if we always witness that bitcoin has potentials to grow in value, we should also use it as a currency because that is its main reason why it has been invented in the first place.  So i'm glad OP that you see it that way. Bitcoin should never be kept the whole time, it should also be used as a currency to speed up its own adoption.

Interesting, you have spent bitcoin for what you like, if at that moment you were happy that you did well, don't think about the value that went down. I bought several things, the biggest one was the bedroom for my daughter, I received a regular purchase invoice in euros, but I paid in bitcoins! Many traders adapt to cryptocurrencies and can reap a lot of benefits from it, I forgot one important thing, I paid on delivery!

As previously stated, bitcoin was originally created as a payment method with low fees that allowed you to see the transaction in real time.
