I am pretty much interested to know how many people here uses bitcoin because of it's system, because of the anonymous and the security it provides, and because of the fact that it is really easy to transact over the internet, and there's no one who can just block your account(unlike paypal, a platform that provides an easy way to pay over the internet, but you rely on PayPal to keep your account open).
So, are you guys using bitcoin because of it's nature, or because it's a financial tool of making money?
I wouldn't use it at all. Bitcoin doesn't interest me as a currency, in terms of using it in my daily life, paying for taxes, shopping and so on, I also doubt that there are many who actually do that. The only purpose here is to make money, at least for myself, trading and holding, taking advantage of dips and selling at a higher price. I don't really mind the anonymity, since I am not involved in any activities that do require it, thus, it's only an asset for me, similar to gold.
