A laptop. Worth $899 from my hard earned bitcoins. I was so happy after I received it on my doorsteps. I'm using it now as i type

a 50$ gift card... not much comparing to everyone around here

I've been wanting to purchase something like this with the spoils of my trading for a while now, however I aren't convinced by the range of options available to allow me to do this.

I'm aware of a few services that would allow me to change coins into gift cards, however I aren't so sure on how trustworthy/reliable they are. It must be pretty satisfying to receive something tangible with real use in exchange for something that only a few years ago was considered 'worthless Internet money'.

I didn't have too much expencive things bought directly with bitcoin, but the most valuable one time purchase was ~1000 EUR of mining
equipment that i ordered from UK. Sadly, to this day i still regret that purchase, since i only reached ~110% ROI, but lost way too much time and patience with it.

cheers

Various miners. Mostly from Bitmaintech. I also have bought some upgrades for my pc from Tiger Direct.
