Honestly I' using it as a hedge against USD inflation.
I currently use it as a fun/risky investment option. Though lately I have been thinking about creating a service for the bitcoin community.

" totally forgot about that mining tool running in the background until I found out that the 10k BTC it had accumulated were now worth a couple grand USD." I wish!
Mild interest in mining for play money.
Just wanted to jump on the Bitcoin band wagon. Plus doing my bit to destroy the environment by using Gigawatt's of Electricity...
I wanted to learn more about the new hype of internet currency.
Being able to earn money through pools, & making money while I sleep on a high powered rig
Also, it helps me learn more about technology

Developing a new universal currency and personally playing a role in its creation? Count me in.
No one got in to BTC because of SR ??
I don't like being robbed, i.e. (attempting to) store my accumulated wealth in fiat.
The past half month you've been being robbed by storing your wealth in assets (other than bitcoin... it's held up while everything else is falling). In my opinion, we'll see much more of the same before it's all over. The dollar hasn't had this long of a winning streak since 1985, but that's a topic for another thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gold-collapsing-bitcoin-up-68655.

Well... I was bored. I dont pay for the electricity, and it was getting pretty cold in here.
bitcoin mining seemed to allieviate those issues.

I had some friends tell me about Bitcoins in 2009, and at that point, I told them they were all stupid. Well, they finally convinced me to buy in at a few cents each, and I realized I was a supporter of BTC after a month when they jumped up to $17. Although I know that was a bubble, I can foresee this happening again due to natural causes in the future.
