I am using less to buy things.  I am holding more than I used to because I think the price will go up this year.  Maybe it is just wishful thinking but I believe that this is the time to accumulate.

More. Where I am it's pretty hard to find places to spend, but it's important to make proper use of it. I spend and replace.

I was not using bitcoin last year so I guess I am using bitcoin more that last year Cheesy

but tbh, I am increasing my bitcoin income, and also getting more involved in bitcoin everyday. I also plan to buy some in the near future and just waiting for a good price.

I'm using it less on average for this year. If the price is rising I'm more likely to use it because I know it will be worth slightly more by the time I spend it. If it's falling I might lose some money so it puts me off. The recent stability it eerie though, so I might start using it more (if it continues).
yeah, the kind of stable price is a nice thing imo. but i think the probability of the price staying fixed is so low.

most likely it is going to go down a little more and it might start going up again soon.

I personally am using bitcoin a lot more both spending and trading this year 2015. I guess we are losing interest and to many people are just holding without doing anything with it, which is fine each to their own but if it is to go mainstream then use it and show it has a use outside gambling/trading.

The average transaction volume per day is down more than 20% for 2015.

I wonder why there is no graphic for this.

I used it more now especially in prepaid loading business. My online wallet provider that based here in our country have a service that we can purchase prepaid load via Bitcoin. So I used it for selling prepaid loads to my friends , workmates etc. Not much profit but at least it have. A great start though.

I use it about the same.  I don't pay much attention to the price fluctuations.  I let the machines deal with that.  Besides most of what I do involves buying/selling hash on hashnest and things like that so it isn't a huge deal if the price fluctuates a little bit.

Beefcake!!!
I am using WAY more because I didn't have any last year!  But I also think that people are holding and waiting for a bounce.  Especially with the recent price decline all the way down to the low 220's.  It should go back up now hopefully that people are getting wise to the block situation.

I am using it more, basically because I have a lot more than I did last year, and can't afford spending a bit more.
I would use it daily if my wage was paid on BTC.

There is actually a service that does that, not sure if its offered for your employer, but its worth checking out: https://www.bitwage.co/

Why would he even need to use that? Just buy an amount of bitcoins every month instead. It might be safer not to get your whole wage in btc as well due to fluctuations and at least you can decide how much you want to invest in bitcoin per month.

convenience maybe? some services are based on people being too lazy to do something themselves after all, like account buying/selling in league of legends, people are too busy to level smurf accounts themselves.

I just read through this post:
http://www.finance-guy.net/finblog/bitcoin-vol-up

if daily transactions are down 20%, then it makes sense that we are using Bitcoin less than we did 6 months ago. 

What do you guys think, is Bitcoin use falling?

If so, what can we do to help increase it?

I don't think we can judge Bitcoin users just from transaction which are made daily because most of them are probably made by BOTS and from Gambling or Lending Platforms & Exchanges of course . so yeah ... It's simply maybe because of the hacks of exchange on the last months (most of them are chinese) .
However for me ... I'am using it today more then last year or ever , I knew Bitcoin last year and started reading about it and wasen't so interessted but got used it to it by time and finally started using it and now I can't stop Grin

I both use and buy bitcoin more, bitcoin is always being integrated into more products and services, and there always seem to be plenty of opportunities to use it.

i am using bitcoin more and more every day. but recently because of the state of bitcoin price i am just holding my bitcoins and try to accumulate more everyday.

the rest is going into trading which has nothing to do with transaction volume, because it is being done in an exchanger.
