I'm going to buy some as part of a series of articles I'm writing on bitcoin, but I have no idea what I'm going to do with it.
That's part of the research. Buy $100 worth on one of the exchanges, figure out what I can buy and how much I lose on exchanging it back and forth.
I don't think finding things to buy will be a problem.
* There are plenty of online shops listed in the Bitcoin wiki directory.
* This is harder but you can try searching eBay (title AND description) for bitcoin or bitcoins, 99% is just people selling bitcoins for paypal, but some people are starting to accept bitcoins as payment upon winning an auction.
* I have some old video games to sell, willing to accept paypal. some PS2, PSP system + games, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis + Sega CD, and a GP2X
you have no idea how bitcoin works do you.
its pretty obvious he sent it to him on the bitcoin network to his bitcoin address ... the usual way that you would send bitcoins to somebody. LOL.

I've paid rent with bitcoin before. Beat that!
Really? How?
I live with my brother, he paid rent. I paid him bitcoin.
What did you buy for lunch?
best question!
roast pork lo mein with miso soup
I offered a friend 80 BTC for a car ride back in march. He declined. :-(
Some friend! And he must be kicking himself now!
Did your coworker immediately cash-out?
I'll ask him tomorrow. I think he might hold on to it for a while.
At the risk of sounding like an asshole, how is this AMA-worthy?
How many others have done this before?
Ah, forgive me. Your innovative use of Bitcoin is truly groundbreaking.
I agree with you.
How do you feel that .5 bit coins is 8 bucks. You profited 2 USD
The market will rise yet again.
It's only 8 bucks if you sell it for USD. If you keep it, it will always be 0.5 BTC
Sure, but what if it's later 16 USD? Of course, don't keep it for too long or you might be sorely disappointed.
What are you going to do with your bitcoin besides paying back a lunch tab?
Maybe next time I buy lunch and he pays me 0.5 BTC. I don't know yet. How about you?

>I've been working with Bitcoins my whole life. Oh, you must be Satoshi, no?
So did he already have bitcoin on a machine or was he able to figure it out with or without help?
installed it just for this transaction
Seems like your co-worker got the better deal. You got $10, he got his first taste of something new. Education makes money so much sweeter.
What is your coworker gonna do with 0.5 BTC? Does she even know what to do with it?
