What's something you've bought using bitcoin that gave you no regrets? I'll go first.
In 2017, I paid 6,000,000 sats ($500 at the time) for this painting from a street artist. I absolutely love it, and knowing what that amount of bitcoin is worth now makes it even more valuable to me. 💜🪬
That is really beautiful! Love it! 😍
Street artist accepted BTC? That’s the best part of this story although the painting is absolute 🔥 🔥 🔥
I’ve bought the Bitcoin Standard, which was a let down..
Saifedean’s take on modern art and architecture is just garbage IMHO. I highly recommend skipping that chapter to anyone who hasn’t read the book yet.
Lol, I literally stopped reading there
Def agree - I was reading and had to check the cover cause it was like all of a sudden we’re getting a critique of modern art 🖼️- which btw maybe IS a scam, but…. At least it’s a hard asset that requires SOME work and effort to create and maintain - unlike green paper that’s based on nothing
Terrible book and you either live the Bitcoin standard or you don't. You don't need to read about it. It's a way of life and doesn't need much explaining.
I’d like to sell my own art for sats, though we lack a proper platform for it. My work if you’re interested: https://instagram.com/v.genugten.art?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I've never regret spending BTC in all the years. If you live on BTC you literally have to spend it so there is no regrets at all. Though, I bought a PC in 2015 in BTC and when I looked at the box in 2018 I was like... most expensive shitty and aged rig in the world 😂
Computers and cars are not good investments. 😁
Depends.
As a dev, a higher quality computer can make you more productive with increased compile times, etc.
I agree on the cars. I make my living mostly online so my hardware are my trade tools but yes, value loss is immense.
Fun fact, I stopped following the GPU arms race two years ago at least for gaming. Joined GeforceNow's cloud gaming very early and had a founders plan for 5/month for almost a year and a half. That's $90 in 18 months which makes it hard justifying spending $500-1200 every 2-3 years just to be able to play new gen games when they come out. Unless you're GPU miner I don't see the point any more in buying expensive GPU's at least not every couple of years.
My Android is also 4 years old. It's just a phone why would I buy a new one every year while this one is still working fine?
