And yes you have to spend it all
Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.
I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.
I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.
Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!
Super regional, remember learning 15$ in French class but using $15 everywhere else because I’m an anglophone. Personally, as someone else said, it’s a unit, totally makes sense treating it as such and I do tend to use iso currency codes when talking dollars because I’m Canadian, 40 USD is 54.75 CAD, 40 CAD is 29.23 USD, if I don’t specify that it makes things look way more expensive comparatively.
Agreed on all aspects.

Taco Bell most likely.
Buy $15 worth of Taco Bell.
- Convert it into 1,500 pennies
- Fashion a slingshot from a balloon, tube, and some tape.
- Have fun shooting cans, balloons, people, etc.
Downvote me all you want but I’d buy $15 of Bitcoin then wait a few years. So far I have been immensely happy with every single one of my BTC purchases and I don’t think that’s going to change any time soon. Whatever amount I buy now will be the same % of the total supply (21 million coins) in 5 or 10 years time which is more than I can say about pretty much anything else.
Bitcoin isn’t destined to go up because supply is theoretically set. Demand could easily disappear and there could be a massive sell-off that puts more supply out there. It’s easy to imagine BTC mining being banned in a major country because it’s incompatible with carbon emission goals, raises electricity bills, puts pressure of electricity grids, facilitates money laundering, or any number of things. That would trigger a sell-off and unless some whale is capable of being the unofficial central bank, there’s nothing to stop it.

Supply isn’t theoretically set, it is actually set. 21 million coins. That’s it. Nobody can print more than that even if that had a trillion dollars and a thousand people with AKs willing to die for the cause. I didn’t say value is guaranteed to increase relative to other things, I said portion of total supply remains the same, which will always be true. The only thing that can change supply is a massive fork which requires broad consensus across the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. And… good luck with that, they struggle to even agree on non-contentious proposals. Bitcoin was designed to be very difficult to modify the protocol of, because money should be stable (in protocol) and trustable. When somebody gives you 1BTC you should be able to know that it’s always going to be 1BTC. And it will be.

China tried that. Didn’t work. Some countries do ban Bitcoin, and they miss out on the economic benefits of transactions that settle instantly globally and the market that comes with them. And the best currency humanity has ever produced to date whose supply can’t be tampered with by an untrustworthy central bank. Too bad for them. Bitcoin don’t give AF about your national regulations, it will continue to work and transfer money around the globe whether Government X likes it or not. The US and China and EU could ban it, but where it’s seeing a lot of growth in adoption is Africa and Global South, places where people have very recent memories of central banks rugging them. They’re gonna keep using it, and the efficiency gains will benefit their markets, not the markets which ban it.
I got scared and sold lol :(
3 tabs of acid
I want to know where to get $5 tabs damn

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.
One $15 hooker bot, or fifteen $1 hooker bots?
3 hands of blackjack.
Buy an internet ad that tells people the damn dollar sign goes BEFORE the number.
It is funny to see comments like these trying to find creative ways of being pedantic lol
Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a “,” instead of a “.”
Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or “.” (at least in Germany).And then there’s whatever they do in India, where a comma indicates the thousands place, but then they put commas every two numbers…
not always. It’s a combination of 3 spaces for some, and 2 for others.
Yes, but this is specifically a dollar sign, and in every country that uses dollars, the $ goes before the number.
Not in Canada.
The prices in French have the dollar sign at the end, while in English it’s at the front.
More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.
Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!
I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred
Interesting. Didnt know nor expected a whole wikipedia article about that topic alone…
Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.
I’d spend it teaching people how to use a dollar sign
I’d buy you a $15 book on critical thinking, so you could stop and consider that maybe not everyone is a native English speaker, and their syntax may vary.
Otherwise, you’re just making assumptions based on what someone has written. You know, like how many people might assume from your reply that you’re a massive dickhead. Just an assumption of course…
That’s great but it’s still wrong.
Putting it behind the number makes way more sense though, because you don’t read it as “dollar 15”
So I petition to make it okay to write “15$”
Put it towards a stupid sounding investment scheme that will turn those 15 into 5 within the month
I never had the income to do that. It sounds exciting. It’s like gambling except it’s considered classy instead of trashy.

I don’t think I’d be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.
How about 15$ but you also have 24 hours left to live?
Ecstacy.
Some of my happiest times were rolling at a concert. Im empathetic, happy, social, and my anxiety is pretty much gone.
And as far as I don’t go too far, the only down time I need to recover is the next 24 hours eating junk food and watching Netflix motionless in bed.
Oh totally. Outside of a few festivals where I took it three nights in a row, typically I was only rolling at a show maybe once a month. I couldn’t imagine doing it frequently or having an urge specifically to roll.
IDK, probably go to the import store near my house and pick up some white rabbit milk candies to start. Then spend the rest on cheap snacks at the dollar store. However much it left, if it’s just change, probably throw downtown where I live because I can guarantee some homeless drug addict might scramble to pick it up.
$10 for a bag of rhinestones, $5 for glue
Or weed, but weed is temporary
