I used to spend it before when there were only few things to buy using it, been saving them and keeping them from few months as a good investment opportunity.

If you do not have use for that, just save it. If you can spend it, then spend some of the coins.

I couldn't agree more with you. Don't spend your bitcoin gratuitously . For better just save bitcoin and wait the price gain up . It's not difficult to only wait wait and wait. And then You can spend your bitcoin freely

I actively gamble with my Bitcoin if that counts. Other than that, no.

well, atleast, you use it, and you didn't just stock it in your wallet. atleast it is moving..

Using it to gamble is not necessarily a good thing, it doesn't really help bitcoin. We need more online shops to accept bitcoin, unfortunately it's hard to convince them because of the volatility.

The thing is it is not only the volatility but when they accept it as a payment method it needs to be used, unfortunately many hoard their coins and don't support btc by making purchases so more than anything it needs people who actually want to spend their btc.
Gambling can be a good thing for a bigger market of people buying in but then the coins end up in the hands of a few anyway.
I try to spend as much as I can yes but like many others I don't spend much as there is not much choice and I won't buy just for the sake of it.

The transaction cost has risen quite a lot recently due to the block size limit. It takes long time to confirm, therefore some people do not use it.

Try to save some of them do not use all for gamble as it do not bring each time good fortune. Also there are many other ways to invest your bitcoins. I try to save almost all of my bitcoins for my retirement life. Over all, I am not currently actively spending bitcoins.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend saving all your coins for your retirement fund, but if that's what you want to do then it is fine by me.

I just hope you realize a lot can happen over a decade or two, especially in Bitcoin...

I try to spend them for things i need. because the price is very good now.
But I have not found a lot of items i need, so know they are safe in my wallet.

Most of the shops i like also don't accept bitcoin.

But if you check out the bitcoin directories:
http://www.whotakescoin.com
http://www.cryptodir.com
http://usebitcoins.info

You will find many stores who accept bitcoin.

Ofcourse it counts, if you are gambling with bitcoins that means you are spending your bitcoins and that is the more important rather then just holding your bitcoins, I am addicted to gambling and I keep on spending my bitcoins on gambling, sometimes I win and sometimes I loose, whenever I win I convert certain amount of bitcoins to my fiat currency and transfer it to my bank account.

I am spending BTC alright but of course not on physical items that can be bought with cash or creditcards (also there is a very limited number of them accepting bitcoins), Spending it for most of my online transactions and payments.

I spend my bitcoins regularly rather than saving them, I sometimes buy some online goods or items and keep a small amount of it for saving, I think BTC is more of a convenient e-currency particularly for someone who had issues with PayPal allot before.

I stopped spend my coins because I'm expecting better prices in my long time projects. I'm gonna hold my coins for 6 to 12 months then buy a car. That's my mid-term plan. In long term I want to accumulate more coins, as long as it's enough for my retirement in 20 years.

I usually hold first and then convert it to a fiat money
