I used to use bitcoin to buy purposes on the internet, such as online shopping, buy a ticket,

or send money to my family and my friends

Good news, it's mean your family have wallet address too right? I think family are the most hardest people to understand what bitcoin is, especially our parents.

That's totally right, I never even explain what is Bitcoin to my family. Because, I thought they will just understand it once and that just throw it away for their mind Sad

I don't really use it at all at the moment. I buy a bit and earn a little every month but I want to spend it in the future when it's worth a little more. I think it'd be really awesome and cool to be able to spend it on things I actually want and day to day purchases and think I would spend it wherever I could... just once the value is higher and stabalized Grin

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin

Well i try to use it as much as i can, as long as i see that it's doable.
In most cases it ends up for gamble on dice sites, storing them as an investment in future,paying for related services, VPN,,etc,, but lately i'm exploring how it would be to actually switch to bitcoin debit card and
not to touch fiat at all.
The bad news is that it's still not a smart move due to all of the fee's associated with it, and it's still cheaper to use regular debit card, but i'm hoping that will change soon enough.

cheers

the poll is doing great it shows a lot of what the current market is about, i was a bit surprise about a few options but i guess we don't have that much dark web market buyers here .

Speculation/Investment/Saving    - 57 (36.3%)
Online shopping    - 29 (18.5%)
Money transfer    - 23 (14.6%)

i would like to see a boost on the money transfer % since the rush of the remittance industry is going up we will see more and more companies offering money transfer for low rates.

i personally would like to see the second option (online shopping) be the top choice one day. and the investment part becomes at least less attractive than really using bitcoin to shop.

I hold bitcoins, but I also spend bitcoins when I want to buy something especially when I can buy it with bitcoins and I buy more bitcoins to replenish the ones I just spent.

The number of bitcoins actually used as a trading currency is only a small fraction of all bitcoins. Most of them are in the hands of people who want them to appreciate in value or who want to trade for a gain.

Before , Im saving btc for no reasons.

Then I introduced to dice game. Im really got hook with that game because I earned a lot at first week and it makes me more greed until majority of my saved btcs gone. I controlled myself after and stopped playing dice.

Now aftwr a week of rest I introduced to sports betting and always got lucky. No programs no system. So for now I ised btcs to sports betting but of course I learned my mistake from my previous gambling experience and trying to control myself every time I placing bets.

Do you use Bitcoin at least once a month? What do you actually use it for? Why? Is it better, cheaper, faster, more convenient than alternatives? Is it the only option?

If those 120.000+ daily transactions are actually real, there must be thousands of Bitcoin users active every day. What are we actually using Bitcoin for? Are we just true believers or are there real reasons to use Bitcoin instead of other available options?

I figure it's about time that we have a clearer picture of actual Bitcoin use cases. Sure, in a year or two the picture will probably change completely, but it's useful info right now for anyone interested in growing our community.

Please answer in as much detail as possible!

Buying weed at the original Silkroad. But I am scared of doing that at other sites... Don't know where to buy online that's safe.

It's a lot of stuff forme , Investement/Saving also Games & Digital downloads however I only use my BTC from time to time , mostly just to buy Counter Strike skins or other steam stuff . but it's rare , planning to hold now and hopefully we see something good at the end of 2016 .

i think the year 2016 is gonna be a huge year for bitcoin. the bitcoin price is either going up because of the block reward halving that is in mid 2016 and make so many investors happy, or it is not gonna change at all which will lead to disappointment and selling bitcoin by many dissapointed investors and then going down.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

I'm using it only to save money and speculate, unfortunately. Bitcoin is still very limited in its uses.

I am amazed by the high percentage of people using it for Speculation/Investment/Saving. Roll Eyes

I guess if the price bubbles again, we would see this trend turned upside down.

If you asked this question, about a year ago, you might have received a totally different answer.

I split my use... 80% savings {hoarding} and 20% spending online. Tongue

...I totally hate credit cards, it's like driving a Model T ford on a freeway. {The people with BTC zip past me}
