I think one of my problems with spending btc on stuff is that all the things that I could actually save money on is
already free for me. I work for an ISP so I do not need hosting, vpn access, virtual servers, hardware, etc...
So I want physical goods or the ability to pay entities that do not care about bitcoin.

I bet for others they can easily find a few things if they are a IT hobbyist type and need that stuff.
