The miners mine and hold, other mine and sell.

Investors and speculators buy, hold and sell.

You can buy random items in auctions and through the forums.

What are the reasons for the bulk of the bitcoin transfers? I read an article underlying the "dark side" of the internet and TOR network, and they seem to point out that bitcoins are now nearly the exclusive currency for the online "black market" (Note, they are not saying bitcoins are exclusively used for black market transactions)

Right now, you buy Bitcoin to hold because it is in the store of value stage still. It hasn't scaled to be able to support a global amount of transactions so we must wait until price skyrockets which will be in 5-10 yrs imo.

I used it as an asset and always hoping that it may have a high value in the future and I think it will have and I also used it in trading so that it will also generate as time passes by.

I usually use Bitcoin to buy mining machines, long-term investments, and trades because that way I can make a profit. I never use Bitcoin to trade on the black market.

I am using it to make purchases and invest
to me i think that the most common use of bitcoin is to use it for trading and investment, while in some cases i also use it for purchasing online good, for online shopping in online shops, and even in some cases i also use bitcoin for shopping in our local shop specially for recharging our mobile which is the most common use of bitcoin in our area, but mostly i think we use bitcoin for trading and investment purpose, because still we do not have much opportunities to use bitcoin for shopping and other such purposes.

I'm using bitcoin for several transactions with my friends. If someone sells a gadget I'm asking him if I can pay for bitcoin and it's fine for him. And starting that day, that's how I'm starting to use bitcoin for my trades with him. But my main use for bitcoin is as an investment, I'm always looking forward for bitcoin as an investment and this is why I keep on collecting bitcoin and strives to earn it.

You should not just consider Bitcoin to be an asset.

In reality, it is meant to be spent. If there are no places to spend Bitcoin then ow in the world could it ever have any value? It simply would have an imaginary value based on nothing as you could not spend it anywhere. So what would be the point?

At the end of the day, you need to be able to spend it, and you should be spending it to encourage mass adoption.

I think bitcoin can be used by anyone, including for the black market, because bitcoin gives ease in transacting and takes time which if the mentranfernya. bitcoin unlike cash can not control the circulation of bitcoin.
to me i think that bitcoin is still not so much popular to be use for everything, i think that still there are some specific purpose and places where we can use bitcoin, i think we can use bitcoin for online purpose so widely, while in some place where bitcoin is more popular there people are also using it for shopping in their local shops but still the shops  are still limited there and it need some more time when bitcoin will become  more common to be easily available to be use for everything.

Before i used bitcoin for blackmarket, betting and sometimes for payments. Now i'm just investing and holding.
That's true. We all want to earn, good amount of profits from bitcoins. Other than this, bitcoins help its investor economically. It increases his capital and the currency can be earned with ease. I think, most of us are holding on bitcoins for future purpose and seldom happens that we sell out our bitcoins.

I only use my Bitcoin to invest in various other ICOs which appear to be really promising. Usually, I try to hold my Bitcoins as they are one of the fastest growing commodities in the market.
