I try and spend my bitcoins as much as possible - in the last six months I have bought:
* Bitcoin mining hardware
* Beers, burgers (in Berlin, at Room 77)
* Espresso (in Singapore, at CAD cafe)
* VPN (privateinternetaccess)
* Singapore Bitcoin Conference
* Inflatable flying shark (via Gyft and Amazon)
* Computer hardware (Bitcoinstore)
probably some others, if I remember, I will edit this post.

I donated to a bunch of projects, bought two trezors, a piper wallet, now I'm in new york, living off bitcoin. So yeah, I use it.

Brought some cash. Sad, I know.

I bought my BFL upgrades with bitcoin... what a mess. With that poor level of service quality you might as well not buy from the US ever again.

I bought gold (from Amagi), a Trezor and quite a lot of beer (from a local pub).
Have since sold the gold though and rebought coinZ (losing a few in the process, but oh well!)

I paid for Astrill VPN with bitcoin.

I'll be honest at this point I am half as tempted to start buying even more and wait for a drop or B. Think it will just keep going for a while yet and lose out lol

Nothing, and proud of it.
Bitcoin is Gold 2.0. That is what's driving adoption now. Its future potential use as currency is part of the present valuation, but its current utility as a currency is very niche still, as you'd expect.
I'm not a believer in making things happen out of their due time. The marketing of Bitcoin as a digital currency has just ended up confusing a lot of people. They call it a bubble because they don't see how the price increases have followed any kind of commensurate increase in merchant adoption, and they're right about that. The price increase is due to people using Bitcoin as an investment, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact there's everything right about it. The whole point of investing is to infuse value into things that will be useful later, before others have noticed. The price rise alerts them to the potential and the current utility, which again is mainly store of value, Gold 2.0.
As the BIT investor presentation shows, the store of value function is by far the greater driver of price and potential upside. Once a good chunk of the population has figured this out and bought in, it'll be time to promote it as a currency.
