I purchased my first 0.5 BTC a little over a day ago.
Because I technically don't possess them yet (the transaction will hopefully clear come Monday), I haven't spent any yet. That, and I want to purchase and have a decent amount of BTC simply to hold before I spend a whole lot.
I'm neither a business owner nor a provider of a paid service, but if I were ever to be in that position I would certainly consider accepting Bitcoin.
I have a background in software engineering (go figure!).
EDIT: Apparently my coins are coming through from Coinbase on Monday, as in November 18th. This isn't exactly a quick process, is it?

bitcoin makes me go crazy.
they are good and appreciate in value a lot.
we sell, exchange and buy them at the best rate for our customers and we also do savings in it.

Nothing is the best thing to do to Bitcoin.. most people lost their bitcoin in securities and gambling....
Possibly, but I believe for bitcoin too truly take off people have to use to pay for suff and services.

Mostly I play with it until I get to know more about it then I might buy 1000 dollars worth of bitcoins .So far I've been using them to gambling
I've had some bitcoins since 2010. I don't transact often outside of occasion mid-term trading. Although, during times like the past few days, I do a bit of day trading, too. I play bitcoin poker on Seals with Clubs. Indeed, I am saving coins for the future. I don't plan to sell most of my coins until several years from now.
I owned bitcoin since 2012, I used it to gambling, trading and buying some stuff.
