My Note 2 phone has been taking a beating for years, the camera quality is terrible and the battery life gets shorter by the day.
It feels like about time we got an upgrade , and ever since @pharesim wrote this great review I've been drooling over the idea of an Asus Zenfone 3 :
Tonight, I decided to go ahead and place my order via buymobile.com.au, and paid for it using Bitcoin (from steemit earnings) using @roomofsatoshi .
It's way too quick and easy to spend this much money - here's how I did it
I found an alright price for a network unlocked zenfone with warranty using google shopping.
There were cheaper options but they came from stores I'd never dealt with before, and I was willing to pay a premium to be able to sleep at night knowing it would actually arrive..
Checkout Time
I placed my order, checked out, selected "Bank Transfer" for payment option and copy pasted the payment details across to Living Room Of Satoshi 's form
Once you've entered BSB, Account Number, Amount and Reference code you get a payment prompt like this one :
Send off your BTC to the address provided, and within seconds it will confirm and you'll be finished.
I can't wait to finally be able to capture pictures of the kids without heaps of motion blur from their stimming.
It'll be even better once I can do this directly with Steem
Stay tuned for way better quality pics from myself and @krystle , and a review of my shiny new toy :D

Amazing <3 I'm drooling over the new p9 Huawei with the Leila camera.. But honestly at this point can't spend any coins for an upgrade due to lack of funding..
Happy to see you materialized something out of nothing. 😀
Much love and support

I've had a few zenfones, going back to their original model with Intel chips.
Good value, and a decent experience.
But I think they really hit their stride with the 3rd gen. Better materials, and good performance/battery life.
Hope you enjoy the fancy camera on your unit!
Ok, I'm jealous. My phone is also old and a piece of shit but I'm too lazy to buy a new one at the moment (it's a job for later this year). Mine is ok above 50% but then it goes from 49% to 0% in virtually no time. It's really annoying.
thanks for sharing
ASUS look great
Congrats

Awesome @ausbitbank! Can't wait til we buy things online with the "Pay with Steem" button:)
Great! You ought to reward yourself once in a while! A new device is pretty appropriate to improve your productivity etc!
Cheers!
This phone is gorgeous!! Zenfone almost sounds like a cryptocurrency
There is one important thing I've learned when I've made money from an investment it's to spend s little on the way up. I've been investing for long enough to have bets that skyrocket, I get greedy and don't want to spend any of it and think about what it could be if it keeps going up at this pace, to have it get crushed one day and start over. If you have a great investment and you spend a little on the way, whatever you spent will be forgotten. But if you get greedy and then crushed, you will think about all the things you could have bought when it was at a high price. Enjoy the device, following you now.
Awesome, I'm glad for you.
I want to buy a computer for myself, but as many others I don't really have the money XD Would be so awesome to be able to buy it using steemit, but I'll see about that in the future, if not, I'll need to find a way to send my Steemit money to PayPal and then my bank in order to buy all the parts for the computer.
Congratulations again and I hope you enjoy your new phone!
Stick with it and you've got a pretty good chance :) I followed and checked out your posts, they deserve more. Have a @randowhale tip and please consider joining P.A.L chat and making use of the minnow support bot and community there.
Thank you very much for your follow and for your advice :)
This might be something for me to look into... my Obamaphone is really messing up!
Congrats buddy
That phone does look sweet. I always liked that and the Sony phones when it cones to Android OS. I used to have a Windows Phone and that was the best phone i had but so little support so I am back on the iPhone wagon with my iPhone SE. Nice that you paid in profits. Never bad to get tangible goods with an intangible asset. Upvoted, Followed and Resteemed!
It has a built it laser beam awesome
Congrats on purchasing a new phone with Bitcoin.
I'm almost needing to do the same. Trying to hold on for as long as possible. lol
Looks sharp! I got the ASUS tablet a few years back and the quality is great. Enjoy and cherish those memories you capture! Be well :)
Wow man! Legendary! Hopefully I could do that sometime haha I recently started a crypto youtube so hopefully that will boost my income ;P Im currently trying to become very successful on no investment but will aim to give back to everyone who supports me haha as im already giving away some litecoin :D
Nice! Now you will be able to show off quality photos from the Australia's finest nature and beaches. Beaches means beautiful .... you figure it out. I intent to post my comment for general patronage :)
Cheers,
@Yehey
https://QUE.com - I will follow ALL who follow me. I think that's fair.
Thanks for sharing this... I will share this with some of my Aussie friends... trying to help them see how crypto frees humanity and builds wealth.
Phone looks great. Buying it whit Bitcoin looks even greater. Congrats.
This is awesome and inspiring. It's nice to see people making some serious money in the market!
This is just fantastic! Congratulations! :D
(hypothetical question) If you were me, and you only had around $70 of Steem power, what would your next few moves be? Anyone who feels they have a good answer, feel free to comment. (: Nice phone btw 😂
I recently ordered this for myself; https://oneplus.net/oneplus-3t
Great purchase for a great price! Works well for business or just games.. great camera too and didn't have to fork out $700 :D
very nice! I saw that review as well.. something to think about when I trade up the Galaxy.. mind you the 7 does take awesome photos as well. Looking forward to being able to make my first big BTC purchase... but we are aiming for a pool... hey might as well go all in. lol! Just want enough to get a pool for hubby and be able to share it around to help some friends in need. PS at this rate it will be a wading pool..but he never specified hahaha. On a serious note though.. you do help inspire us minnows to keep keeping on and to give back to this wonderful community.. But I've already admitted I was a fangirl :)
Good one mate. Will resteem to keep this handy. SK.
Great detailed tutorial on purchasing using bitcoin and discussion of the phone tech @ausbitbank. While I'm nowhere near needing to use this yet or techie enough to appreciate the nuances of the phones benefits, the real upside for me is once your new phone arrives I can ask even more dumb questions by phone... All joking aside really proud of what you're achieving for your family and the steemit community, well done!
Way to go @ausbitbank!
Congrats on your purchase!
good sharing..👍
resteemed
sadly pakistan has not yet recognized bitcoin in that way
loved ur article ausbitbank, have u heard of sick building syndrome I think this article is important https://steemit.com/health/@whitedolphin/is-your-building-making-you-sick#comments
Amazing ... it is a motivation to continue the work we are doing..
Not for these are the profits made, to be broken :))
awesome!
congratulations fellow steemian
Great information thanks for sharing
great article, thanks for sharing!
nice phone
Amazing! Cool.... i like yours style... (^_^)
Congrats! The new phone looks really good.
Upvoted!
Following u, would love to be followed back :)
the idea of decentralization would be to find an equally reliable supplier without Google Shopping but let's say with a blockchain-based reputation systems like openBazaar's or similar.
Anyway, glad to have found your source (buymobile.com.au) this way -- thanks for sharing, Upvoted!
