If you travel to another company, you can transfer a large amount of money or just carry a paper wallet or hardware wallet, and avoid exorbitant amount of fees dealing with international banks, atm withdrawals, or currency exchangers.
If you have a sick or needy uncle in Africa, Antartica, or Asia, you can remit money worldwide in literally minutes. No need to wait for Western Union and deal with their ridiculous fee structure and wait time which can range from minutes to multiple days.
All for small transaction fees ranging from a few cents to a few bucks.
If you're a big Amazon user, then I'd highly recommend https://purse.io/
20% savings for buying things in Bitcoin, and you get to sell your Amazon gift cards for Bitcoin. Like a marketplace, matching buyers and sellers Amazon Wishlists, but with Bitcoin as a medium instead of money or gift cards.

Not counterfeitable.
For me, I use bitcoin because I know my account won't be subjected to closure or being charged any fees like what banks are doing. When I have bitcoin in my wallet, I'm fully in control of my money, my personal finance and I know that nobody who I entrust to, to keep my money will be able to run away with what I have.
Because it simple and unreversible 
Also anonymous

I personally didn't find it simple for the first time I started Bitcoin ... but once I asked few questions on btc talk and started setting UP my wallet I knew how it works , all became easy & piece of cake
and for the annonymity it is awesome ... one thing would be more awesome is making transaction off-chain so they don't appear on the blockchain .

Even i can make a payment in a second with extremely small fees

Being nearly anonymous is of course a plus, but the best point is that it's not related to any country or government. If you don't want to support any, there's just no other choice.
I didn't choose it for the anonymity, I chose it because it's easy as 1-2-3. I can send money to anywhere in the world right here from my computer without needing the help of anyone else.
You didn't convince me to be honest , isn't that what every other payment method on the internet offers nowdays ? you can send money to anyone anywhere using his Email or Username or whatever & you don't need any help either .

just it's free: 0 and freedom.
maybe there will be a currency pegged to BTC which is more stable
This is a logical impossibility. My guess is that you do not understand what the word "pegged" means.
It's more convenient.
Why? Oh well.. I'm a online freelancer and having a new method of payment could get me more customers. ← reason why I join Bitcoin.
Now, I'm not 'freelancing' for Bitcoin anymore. Instead. I invest my Bitcoin for more and wait for the Bitcoin price to rise.

I am not really using it that much. Just made a handful of purchases with Bitcoin, since my options are limited, here in Austria. But I am sure, that will change over time.
I choose Bitcoin for 2 main reasons:
It is secure by design: Most technologies nowadays are complete unsecure(since when they were invented, security wasn't that important), with security build on top of it. Bitcoin is secure at it's core.
I control the money: E.g. I could just take my paper wallets and move somewhere else, or just remember 12 words. Nobody could really stop me from that. Transferring the money in my bank account to another countries bank account. I don't think, that is that easy. Cashing out, and bringing that cash over the border. Not easy either.

bitcoin will evole and we will not recognize it in a few years. of course the value cant fluctuate like crazy to use it for the day to day transactions. in some years that will be completely different. we already see that with "LOCKS" from coinapult. maybe there will be a currency pegged to BTC which is more stable and usefull for these kind of transactions. bitcoin would be a gold-standard in such a scenario.
