Ask HN: What have you bought or sold using a cryptocurrency?

I'm hoping to get some real-world examples of how people use cryptocurrencies to buy and sell stuff.

That's because over time I've heard much more about people buying cryptocurrencies speculatively than I have about people using them as, well, currencies.

Would anyone be willing to share some information about one or more times you've bought or sold something with a cryptocurrency?

Please include as many of these points as you're comfortable mentioning:

1) Were you buying or selling?

2) What were you buying or selling?

3) What was the cryptocurrency?

4) How much was the transaction for (converted to a fiat currency like the equivalent USD at the time of the transaction, please!)?

5) In which year did the transaction occur?

6) Which platform did you organise the transaction using (Craigslist, a darknet marketplace, face-to-face, etc)?

7) Did the transaction go smoothly, or were there hiccups?

8) Would you buy or sell using a cryptocurrency again?

9) Any other observations, comments or thoughts?
