Topic: [poll] What do you currently use Bitcoin for? - page 3. (Read 2594 times)
Right now, the main reason I am using bitcoin is as a currency. It's an easy way to buy stuff online.
I do not have much bitcoin and I am targeting maybe 2.1BTC.
As there is not many things I can buy with bitcoin at my home town, I will just hodl for the time being.

as many already said , i guess the best use of bitcoins right now is to store them and wait for the price to go up , and that's what im doing
And also trading and buying games online with Xapo... 
# Currency - Receiving and sending transactions, buying some digital goods, etc.
# Investment/Store of value - I am a frequent trader and I hold my coins in my cold wallets mainly to store a part of my wealth.

I currently use bitcoin for pay my electric bill and internet bill, but it's also pay my college. and i have gambling habbit, so i can use bitcoin for gambling.
Long term wealth storage but very very long term...
Mainly for long term investment (HODLING).
I do gamble with the small amounts I make from signature campaigns though.

I'm not trying to trick anyone, I have no agenda I only want to capture a snapshot of what the average user is using bitcoin for at this time.
I use around .5btc every month. Everything that i earn from here i exchange to fiat to pay for my bills (electricity & phone) and mortgage of my motorcycle. What ever is left from my earnings i keep it as is. 
Long term wealth storage I guess. I definitely don't use it as a currency much but I suppose if I eventually take up gambling I'll use it for that. I think that's one of its main uses. To me, it's digital gold.

At the moment I am using Bitcoin as currency and as an investment. That's how I use Bitcoin the most of the times.
For me it's about future profits and usage.
Getting to use a high valued bitcoin price is the ultimate goal.

This poll is somewhat rigged to produce a preconceived notion. You should include the option to say that we use Bitcoin for all of these things. Since that is the case for me, until you add that option I can not participate in this poll in good conscience.
i want multiple choices, because i'm using it as the two first option
small portion ads a currency to buy small things, and long term investment/storage for the big portion

too bad decentralization is at stake.
Long term wealth storage here, though I frequently use it for non-spammy purchases such as equipment or private trades.
Long term wealth storage, even though I also use it as a currency and for remittance.
Voted for the second, but actually wanted to have both the first and the second option.
The majority is for long term wealth storage, but when suitable and convenient I use it as a currency as well.

For me it's mostly an investment at the moment, though I have used it for a few dozen transactions (Purse.io) and look forward to developments on that front. I'm surprised at the lack of remittance usage, given the obvious case for it compared to existing competition. I can't imagine the problems encountered thus far are intractable, so eventually I expect bitcoin remittances to surge, which will be good for the bitcoin ecosystem.
I voted for long term wealth storage, although I have paid for things online with Bitcoin. There i no option for traders, and I think a big proportion of bitcointalk members use Bitcoin for trading more than long term wealth storage. It attracts traders similar to the way stocks and shares attracts them.
