I've used my bitcoins on a few small items and gambled a bit with it, but I'd rather just hold on to it and wait till i can spend it on things I really want or need. I think this will come sooner or later as many more merchnats seem to be accepting btc daily. I look forward to the day we can buy anything we want with it though (and I hope this day will come).

I would like to be able to see the data on the use of BTC as a medium of exchange during price surges vs. price declines.   Is there anywhere that shows charts like that?

I might drop a few once NewEgg opens up.

Probably the only website/store that will make me lose my large hold on my Bitcoin.

will newegg ship internationally though?

nope, just checked, even with btc no shipping to Asia.

fuck these companies accepting btc if they still won't risk shipping to "high risk" places. it fucking defeats the purpose. morons

edited my above post just as you replied

They're not leading the way, they're doing exactly the same as they've always done. Usually just accepting fiat via bidpay/coinbase, and not changing any other policy

fiverr is accepting bitcoin now, far more convenient than before. used once.

Very nice!

all my coins are bought

Have bought a few games for steam, still hoping more places accepting them (or at least have trusted sites that help to convert it) so I can use more services without entering CC info.

It seems a lot of places and sites are starting accepting Bitcoins so, i think that bit by bit the number of Bitcoin holders will be decreased...
