Some things I bought instead of bitcoin:
- A generator
- Rabbit and chicken food
- A rug
- New shoes
- Books
- Coffee
- Scotch
- ChatGPT
- Plane tickets
Gotta live, but still

a rabbit for eating?
yes sir
cool. I thought about starting a rabbit farm. a little tiny one, in my back yard.
You know it's possible to now buy airplane tickets with bitcoin? It's kinda amazing that it's starting to break through and become possible to buy things like this now :)

At least you didn’t SPEND Bitcoin!
Isn't this necessary to foster the parallel economy though? Isn't bitcoin still money that is to be used in the exchange goods and services? Isn't buying a generator with bitcoin better in many ways than buying it with fiat? (I don't know that Jon did this, merely speaking on principle)
Agreed we will need Bitcoin as medium of exchange - even the most stoic spartan still needs a place to live and food to eat and life isn’t just about saving for some future self just as life shouldn’t be about spending every dime and then some. Mostly my comment was about the people whom spent Bitcoin on an item that is significantly less valuable than the value of Bitcoin today or in the future.
Heck yeah. If only Home Depot accepted bitcoin. When you spend bitcoin, just convert more fiat into bitcoin. Good on both ends.
One day, Lord willing
They actually technically do, you just have to install a third-party app to pay them in bitcoin directly.
Been using the nostr:npub1a27t5chyqgfygncyfqwzpvvkrms6shhal9756jkgnpyzjqpsz5jqama5yp debit card to buy gift cards at HD and now Lows and get sats back as a gift. Huge fan
Did you pull the rug out of the shop by any chance?
Jk, we all need to buy stuff every now and then. It just, retroactively, got way more expensive
The productive household has more in it, and more to it, than a bitcoin wallet.
Keep stacking as the Lord allows.

Congrats you rugged yaself 
Awesome. I like this fiat economy of yours. It seems to be providing (TM).
