Only miners occasionally use bitcoin to pay. Or people try to use it first time on overstock or tigerdirect.

Other than that, most people who owned bitcoin are hoarding it.

I was never mining (well I was but my GPU/CPU is not enugh Cheesy) and to use Bitcoins to pay for something in 99% of cases I need to exchanged them into fiat Sad which I don't like and I believe that in next 5 years I will be able to never exchange Bitcoin into anything Smiley and pay with it for everything...

Those times will come.


I am one of the few who think realcoin might prove to be better suited for daily transaction.

What kind of a coin is that??? You are kidding me don't you??
There is NO better coin than Bitcoin Smiley


No better implies statism and no further improvement can be done on currency and payment system.

Do you believe we have reach technology peak?

I agree, the price is too volatile to use it as a currency: keep you savings, take loans or use it for daily spendings

The revolution will be monetized!
I buy something at least once a week with bitcoin. And I do 99% of my online shopping with bitcoin. I no longer use my debit card online. For me it is money. I don't understand your assertion that because you have not bought anything with bitcoin, it can't be money. I suppose that means that because I no longer use my debit card, debit cards are not money either?

Why? Because bitcoin is the fastest, cheapest, and safest way to buy anything from anyone on the internet.

BTC IS CURRENCY Smiley
I am byung a lot of different things with BTC. If you only hold it this will make it non currency. Currency is for exchanging. I bought two pizzas back in the day when it was about 80 $ and now I see that those pizzas are a lot more expensive for m , but i dont regret. People come one spend part of your BTC this is the way you will make it currency!

Yes it is a currency and I do use it to buy things.  In order for further acceptance we need to use it.  I am still amazed at its utility after trying to go back and use fiat to transfer value in a fast manner

Time is on our side, yes it is!
That is not a valid point and bit one sided.  People use Bitcoin all the time to make transactions.  There are tons of services available and merchants.  The people that think people don't spend their Bitcoin are wrong.  I've spent Bitcoin on food and other items.  I've been able to see how well it is as a currency.  It is like saying if people save their dollars that in someway means the dollar isn't a worthwhile currency which is just false.

I don't think the need to classify Bitcoin is very important.  If you have found value in it as a bulk commodity that is great.  I for one like the idea of being able to make a transaction with someone across the country in an instant, so I have no problem calling it a currency.
