Because it easy to use and the price is not bad either
The fiat I keep at the bank is too expensive. They charge me for keeping my money there and for getting it out. Credit cards are little more than loan shark operations to me. Because of all the hidden fees and traps, I don't even know how much that service costs. And if I want to send money to a friend in another country the prices just get silly.
My reward for these types of transactions are that I get insurance! (Which I pay for!) I also get to spread my personal identity to a bunch of people I don't know, don't trust, and will never meet.
With bitcoin I buy without divulging my identity. Unlike a credit card I do not give information that allows access to my money. It costs pennies to send thousands or even millions of dollars. Best of all, it's over in mins.
It's almost all I use on the internet now.

When I am on my computer, I can just pull up my online wallet. Do a copy/paste of the bitcoin address I need to send to and click send.
With my credit card it's usually in my wallet, if I'm at home I have to go to where I put my wallet, get my card, set it down on the laptop while I try to type, then get up again to put it back in my wallet. If I forget I have to get the card to my wallet later.
I can also go to something like Purse.io and get a 20% discount if I'm shopping on Amazon. Anything else on the Internet I can use Brawker.
Doing it in a restaurant is just fun scanning the QR code and hitting "send". So easy.
And I like that my money is under my control. Not the whims of banks and governments.

Pretty nice
But since when it's possible to buy via Amazon using Bitcoin and with a discount even ?
You can buy things on Amazon either using Purse.io or Gyft:
https://purse.io/
http://www.gyft.com/
As Elwar mentioned, you can also use https://brawker.com/ for everything else.
Pretty soon we'll have our own eBay like marketplace strictly transacting in BTC:
https://openbazaar.org/
And even more Bitcoin related start-ups to come this year. Exciting times!
Yea I know Gyft it's famous for selling Gift cards for all websites (Google play , Itunes,Steam etc ... ) but never heard of purse.io , going to check it out

onewallet.io is set up like ebay, but with everything sold for Bitcoin.
I have bought from there, and I also have some items listed for sale there.
It's still small, not many users yet, but all it needs is some time and some more people involved and then we'll be able to buy anything.
And today you can already buy a Playstation 4, a new iPhone, DVDs, a Chromecast, gold bullion, T-shirts, a wristwatch, a bicycle, a remote-controlled helicopter, or some mining rigs.

Hi,
I wanted know why you guys exactly choosed "Bitcoin" from anything else from the other payment methods
I personally choosed Bitcoin because it's simply annonymus (I don't have to put any of my real life informations) , no chargebacks & I don't have to deal with Paypal bullshits (Limited accounts and crap like that)
How about you guys
