We often see discussions here in the forum how most people see bitcoin as a store of value and not much as a currency. So I searched about what people have purchased using bitcoin. Some may seem "ridiculous" or "outrageous" while some seem fairly sensical cat language translator app

1. Adult Canadian Mammoth Tusks.
The price which this was bought was $175,000 and was bought with 290 bitcoin.

2. Sriracha Bacon flavored Lollipops.
Only priced at $24 for 12 lollipops, you can taste sriracha and bacon in a lollipop.

3. Robo 3D Printer.
Priced at $799 which would be equivalent to 0.00014 bitcoin now.

4. Porsche
Was bought for 300 bitcoins way back in 2013.

5. Male Striptease show
There actually seems to be a website dedicated for those who wants to get paid in bitcoin to perform a strip show.

Anyway the point here is that you can pretty much buy anything with bitcoin. Slowly there is more and more mainstream companies offering bitcoin as payment like apple, wholefoods, and many more. What about you? What is the most bizzare (or totally normal) thing you purchased with bitcoin?

It's fascinating to hear about the diverse range of items people have bought with Bitcoin! Your examples perfectly illustrate the point that while Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value, its utility as a medium of exchange is definitely growing and evolving. From high-value, unique items like mammoth tusks and luxury cars to more everyday (and quirky!) purchases like flavored lollipops and 3D printers, it shows the increasing acceptance and integration of cryptocurrency into various sectors. The fact that major companies are starting to accept it as payment further solidifies its potential as a mainstream currency.
