Purchasing with bitcoin

So I don’t know if many of you have made any purchases with bitcoin, but recently I set about making some, I had tried many times before but I would admit previous to recent accounts, buying with bitcoin failed for me on every occasion. Then in the last few months things changed, firstly I bought ledger nano s, while I waited weeks I did receive it, after that I bought a vpn service, it was easy to set up and so far so good. This weekend I decided to go for a bigger purchase. Now it’s kind of scary sending btc in hope of getting a product knowing you can’t get that payment back in case of dispute unless retailer sends it back. Anyway I purchased a laptop and received it today. It will be a few weeks before I know if I got value for money, but at least it arrived and that’s a good start. I would love to hear other stories of any crypto purchases, good or bad as I think this real case use of crypto will be instrumental to much of its success in the future
