It seems to me like a large portion of the bitcoin economy is in gambling, and understandably so.
There's everything from Peerbet to SatoshiDice to Sealswithclubs. There are a lot of options, but not many of them have exceptional odds. (peerbet excluded of course because they apparently don't skim a little off the top)
I just set this site up where the odds are 97.5% 1.15x payout: www.btcgoldcoin.us
In case you guys don't know, those kind of odds are unheard of.

I am an Agorist, so I support anything that can replace government monopoly and is based on voluntary interaction.
There's lots of great stuff you can buy and sell right here on bitcointalk.org
Nothing yet, but I plan on paying for outsourcing using it.
I have bitcoins in my pocket and feel good about it.
So far I've used mine on Bitfunder/Btct. I like the idea of being able to invest small amounts of money really easy with BTC. Not like large 'real' stock exchanges with complicated account setup, large fees etc.
I use it to store some money.
I originally wanted it to use it for international
money transfers, to save some fees.
I actually never did it so far because it is too cumbersome, two
different exchanges on the ends, plus fees that aren't exactly cheap
All that hassle seem to make bitcoin fail for that purpose and seem to
highlight banks as institutions that charge about the same
or less and probably can do it even faster.

you just need to make arrangements before your trip. Also bitcoin is new, once it becomes even a little more established it will be the clear choice for international transfers.
Haven't got to use any BitCoins yet sadly
I just store them 
services and gambling
Here is my uses for Btc:
Paying my daughter for chores
Investing in other people's projects- BTCJAM.com
Landing to speculators- bitfinex.com
Paying for VPN
Shopping for gas, in walmart etc.- bitcurex.com
Donating to causes I support, not all accept Btc but there is more and more as time goes by.
This is just practical uses but I also see a big value in being part of the solution to the problem created by the current fractional reserve monetary system.

For all of the answers above 
. Inflation is the main reason I'm using Bitcoin, there's no way in hell I'm going to let myself get screwed over by the baby boomer generation like so many before me
. Since it's in demand universally it's going to be amazing for travel, I'm saving up so I can go to places, I may even move out of the UK altogether at this rate
. Supporting stuff like Bitcoin pisses off governments and government loyalists, so I'm all for it
. The anonymous and open source nature of Bitcoin really does just make it wonderful I don't have to sign a stupid cheque to send it, I don't have to worry about practically hacking my way into my own bank account to get at my money, in fact I don't think I've looked at my bank account properly for a good few months now because it's such a pain to do so compared to Bitcoin, I also don't have to worry about everyone spying on what I'm doing
. Various other business things that are none of your business

1) To protect some savings against inflation.
2) To transfer money to Brazil.
