Topic: Why do you have BTC's? (Read 1171 times)
I think it's the next big disruptive technology, and i think in 10 years time we'll be using bitcoin everyday wondering how on earth we got along without it for so long (kind of like how the internet is now).
Assets not subject to oversight.
I originally started mining out of interest.
Then had a streak of bad luck and lost almost all mining profits.
Got mad and left Bitcoin for what is was.
Next thing I hear (months later) it's tanking from $250.
Bought back in at the low point.
Now spend time investing it through shares/bonds.
I haven't actually bought anything physical though, yet.
So right now it's an investment.
Hope I get a chance to use it soon.

Originally jumped in out of fear that they would become mainstream soon and I would miss out on a great opportunity. Stayed because I fell in love with the system and the community, even though I don't purchase much with them.
investment
I earn 'em and then spend all of them on video games. Wish I knew how to successfully invest though i think I'd still spend most of it on video games.

I'm waiting for BTC to hit the million dollar mark, then I'll be a millionaire (and hopefully not because the dollar has gone all reichsmark on us)
Security, a guard against inflation and it's just so much better to use than a bank, I hope it stays.
I'm mostly just satisfying my curiosity. Still have a lot to learn. I'm more about interested in alt currency as n actual means of purchasing goods. I've never been much for the market game, but that may change.
Was setting up a mining operation, and for a period BTC was the most profitable to mine. But other than that, I like to keep my virtual money in a few different crypto currencies to minimize the risk.
It's like a game or a hobby and I like to gamble just for the fun of it.
Started off as an investment, now it's time to spend some 
I use them. For me, bitcoin's utility is the attraction.
Do you have BTC's as an investment or do you actually use it to purchase goods / services??
Mainly as investment but sometimes i use it to buy something.
because I'm an anarcho capitalist and I want the government to burn to the ground, because I can buy "meds" with it and because I want to make money.
Do you have BTC's as an investment or do you actually use it to purchase goods / services??
I actually use mine, but I only keep about 0.02BTC at the moment.

I stumbled on it through reddit and I was hooked. Very interesting technology and I support the ideology 100%.
