Finally, I Bought Something With Full Payment In Bitcoin.

[Fernando Gomez]

This is great news. Many businesses have started to expect bitcoin as their payment methods. But I also think that it is better not to spend one’s bitcoin at this moment of dip where many people are investing in bitcoin..

That's a nice scrambler type bike you acquired! We can feel the excitement when you purchase something using bitcoin and when you least expect it. It's also nice that the dealer knows about bitcoin and accepted it as your payment, This means we are making progress in the adaptation and businesses started to accept bitcoin as a full payment for their products. I'm just thinking if the dealer will still or continue accept bitcoin in our current market scenario.

With the advent of cryptocurrency and having a mainstream popularity, pretty sure that you will eventually likely to bump into someone who's into cryptocurrency too, you might even bump into a crypto millionaire and he/she might help you become one too although that last part is wishful thinking. Pretty cool that he was able to buy a motorcycle using bitcoin, my friends have to swap their coins for fiat just to buy one.

I've included the word "good" stranger on it because, in today's time, there are too many bad people that whenever they hear something related to money, they'll have that bad plan for you. I'm not judging but there really were those scenarios that have happened badly to the victims. But yes, hopefully someday and it would be a great talk and discussion personally for me.

I think I know something like this personally. I mean it is "technically" not the same because it was a factory type of stuff. I do not know what it is called in English, it is not like a huge factory, but it is like a small shop type of place, like literally size of a decent size room, like a room and not a whole factor, but things are made there, with machinery etc. And a person bought that place for bitcoin as well.

This was like a small shop that made fake jerseys basically, like a jersey place but for made up teams instead of real teams and for many kinds of sports as well, from soccer to football to baseball to hockey and so forth. That was quite surreal, love it.

Maybe like a retail store or shop? Sort of like that. Nice, good for that man so it's a plus for him to have that place as a real estate investment while paying it with another investment, bitcoin.

It is always exciting to spend your bitcoin in a transaction in the real world, people criticize Laszlo for spending so much money for some pizza back in the day but it is always incredible to find someone which you can share your joy and exchange some bitcoin, can you imagine what he felt at being the first not only to do this for himself but ever? The feelings should have been indescribable, so I congratulate the OP on his recent purchase.

Nice!  If this helps better your life it is no doubt a great purchase.  I nearly made a similar purchase back in 2015 (or somewhere around there).  A member of this forum had a Harley for sale and I wanted it so I made an offer.  I believe he was asking somewhere around 75 BTC and I offered 69 BTC for it.  We haggled a little bit but eventually couldn't come to a deal.  This year I purchased an all electric motorcycle (Sondors Metacycle) for around 0.08 BTC.  I'm glad I got lucky and was able to dodge a bullet there.

Did you completely dodge the bullet?
Looking at the time frame in trying to make the supposed Harley deal and now, there have been a huge change in price appreciation and the same would apply to 0.08 BTC in 2-4years at most and then, it would seem like you dodged a bullet just to get hit by another.

The most important truth here is you did what made you happy, using a rare means available to you. Even if you had to sell BTC for fiat and make the trade, its a means avail to you.

Sometimes, we've jus got yo say, WTF with the price appreciation in few yeas and satisfy some wants. It's the ay to go right,  !

I would agree with OgNasty with this one and say that he did dodge a bullet at that time. As the potential price that he could've bought the motorcycle could be million in today's price in bitcoin. Also, if you will to compare the price appreciation from 2015 - 2022 of bitcoin it has increase for over 1000% which is unlikely to happen within 4 years as the price of bitcoin right now is relatively high.

Nice story @ OP but why do I think I am missing something?  The most important recipe of the story.  Oh yeah, the Bitcoin transaction ID.
 You know everything can be made up but proof of transaction of Bitcoin can't be forged.  I so love to see you attach your Bitcoin transaction regarding that motorycyle.  It would be a better inspiration if we saw that you actually paid it in Bitcoin as the story claimed it was.

Finally, I Bought Something With Full Payment In Bitcoin.

Anyway, congratulations on having a new motorcycle, hope you can buy more expensive items in bitcoin.

Recently in a thread read about the real incident that happened with his life. On emergency he have admitted her wife for delivery. By situation he wasn't able to withdraw cash and make the payment to the clinic. He have requested the physician and the payments were made in the form of bitcoin. Same as that now a dream bike being bought using cryptocurrency when the banking features failed is really good. It also shows how effective the cryptocurrency payments were taking place when the third party service providers fail.

It is always great to have an alternative way of payment.  So I believe these two kinds of payment systems need not compete with each other but rather should complement each other.   Just like what happened in the situation of OP, without an alternative way of payment like cryptocurrency payment, he won't be able to finish the transaction that day.  It really saves us a lot of resources and time when we have alternative options if one is unavailable.

I think it's really worth the experience not just by means of buying, selling, holding or mining BTC, but to actually use it for a real world transaction like a motorbike that you've just acquired. Congratulations by the way! Keep continue to inspire people about Bitcoin like sharing your real world experience about it.

How about create a customized sticker and put it on your motorbike saying "I've bought this motorbike with Bitcoin" along with the BTC logo too? It would definitely help at least for massive adoption around your area.

It's really surprising that you bought this bike with Bitcoin payment.Bitcoin transactions have been and will continue to be introduced in various countries.The importance and popularity of cryptocurrency is increasing day by day.Maybe the time will come when the paper money that we transact will not exist. The entire transaction system will be in digital currency.Then maybe we will be able to trade through Bitcoin and more different currencies and buy different things.

[suzanne5223]

The nice thing about your experience is that you have as a Bitcoin enthusiast dude. You think there is a problem with your bank account and you are told that it will be resolved in 24 hours, then in a flash when you ask the person assisting you if he is willing if you pay Bitcoin, he agrees even though he hesitated at first but in the end he still trusted what you said and was happy to transfer Bitcoin to the address he gave you. You both helped each other from what I saw in your story.

Yes, they both help each other. OP want the bike in his spare time and if he didn't get it on the day it will take him awhile to have another spare time but I believe the OP help the bike dealer the most because he accepted the Bitcoin as payment when we're in a bear market though he first hesitated because he dont OP is a Bitcoiner.
OP, story should be a lesson to other Bitcoiner not to rely on banks.

Well, financial system development is leaning toward that Digital transaction.  It is not surprising that the agent is able to accept Bitcoin and then process the paper that easily since cryptocurrency had been around for more than a decade now.  I am happy for the OP for his new motorcycle and for a successful Bitcoin transaction to buy it, cheers!

[sklopan]

Congratulations, this is a rather infrequent step. I just understand that now the rate has decreased significantly, and I would probably hardly buy anything for bitcoins now.

[topman21]

Congratulations and best wishes to you for buying a bike with bitcoin payment. However, the way you bought Bitcoin you noticed that you bought the bike at a huge loss of money. If you were holding your bitcoin instead of buying a bike with bitcoin at the moment, you would be in a position to buy a micro car at some point. Anyway, the fact that Bitcoin has launched various transactions in your country is really great news for Bitcoin. Bitcoin transactions should be introduced in every country.

[_BlackStar]

So far I haven't acquired anything using bitcoin as a means of payment, I'm too curious how I can do it and whether my story will be as welcome as your story.  - But congrats, you've done it with bitcoin.

I'm planning on buying a new laptop in the next few months and maybe I'll try the bitcoin payment option instead of paying with fiat ^{[if possible]} but of course I'll have to find a seller that will actually accept bitcoin as a means of payment. I had plans to ask shop owners directly if they would like to accept bitcoin as payment for laptop, but I don't mind if they decline because I'm just trying to find out how likely I am to buy something using bitcoin in the real world.

There are things naturally orchestrated to happen and are inevitable, this is far beyond thier imagine that such could occur not to talk of taking place, but i lobe one adage that says "a closed mouth is a closed destiny" i appreciate the fact that they both take good advantage there in bitcoin and see the benefit that lies in having an investment with it over a long period of time, i believe in little time to this, they will both appreciate the incidence especially the seller.

If he still is, believe me he is investing in bitcoin indirectly.

[peter0425]

I fired away with this thought in my mind --->"my bank failed me, but Bitcoin came to my rescue"

 First congratulations to your first Bitcoin Full transactions in which really cool as you have bought a first motorized equipment .

But what I love most is the part that I quoted in which mainly favoring the bitcoin and the whole crypto currency community.

maybe the next target is 4 wheels?     

[Gosgosking]

Congratulations on  getting your new bike with bitcoin without any stress,  bitcoin can never fail. It is not like the banking system that when the network is bad it can take a longer time to work fine again.it is also nice to know that dealer know about bitcoin,  it is a great experience.
