Topic: You don't use BitCoin (Read 1125 times)
I'll be using foodler today and I'm pretty excited about it and will use it as much as possible.
Stored for future.
I am still mining, currently have too little Bitcoin to use them 
That is patently false. Way back when, I could move my funds back and forth from two different wallets 55,000 times and not spend a satoshi on anything (ah, the days before mandatory transaction fees). Now it would get expensive, but I guarantee a sizeable chunk of those funds aren't being spent on services or products.
Is there any way to capture what fraction of transactions represent BTC being spent vs gambled/shifted between addresses? That seems like an impossibly large task to me right now, but I'd be curious if anyone's attempted to ballpark this.

But who actually USES the sites? Anyone?
How is anyone protected if there product or service isn't delivered? Really supposed to 'trust' people?

You have to trust with fiat too and you arent complaining about it
I think that once the price gets a little more stable I might use them to buy things. For right now, I'm posting here trying to get up to the right number of posts so I can get in on the ASIC group buy. That counts, right?
I'll use my Bitcoins as soon as I need to buy something that happens to be available to purchase in Bitcoins. I won't buy things *just because* they're available to buy as Bitcoins.
This.But the first thing to buy with Bitcoins for me has arrived, I will buy the new Humble Indie Bundles with Bitcoins now.
How many people here actually USE BitCoin and not just as a instrument of investment hoping to 'make it rich'? BitCoin isn't actually USED anywhere, besides a very few sites. Am I wrong? Post at least 10 sites (besides BitCoinStore.com) where you can buy things with BitCoin...
There are about 55,000 transactions per day. Every transaction is somebody spending their bitcoins on something. Take a look at this chart: http://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions

I would guess that a bit more than half the transactions I send are to myself, moving from one wallet to another, and that is not even counting the change I get back with almost every transaction I send.

bitcoin for buying things and fiat for fiat

There's plenty of places accepting bitcoins for ASIC-related kit. Does it count as spending your coins if you spend them on something that will generate them right back into your wallet?

Don't mention that 'one bar in New York', etc. Where do YOU spend your coins?
...or are you, like everyone else, too afraid to use BitCoin due to getting scammed?
These are serious questions.

I think the real question is how many places accept bitcoin compared to a year ago. It might be interesting to see a month by month graph of some kind.

I even almost got scammed but bitmit gave me back my BTC
Exactly, so easy to 'get scammed'.
Feel free to check out the honest traders thread, or even sift through all the trolling in my post history and note the numerous transactions I myself have made, buying and selling with private parties, as well as businesses that accept crypto.

plus I think a lot of people use bitcoin. I've done 1000's of transactions, I use it for all possible daily transactions. using Paypal is just horrible to deal with on a regular basis so sometimes I have no choice but to use Bitcoin.
But on the other hand, it's hard to get money into Bitcoin generally, and I'm long BTC so if I have the ability to pay via Paypal or Bitcoin I always choose Paypal since I don't have to spend my precious Bitcoin!

I mostly buy things from Bitmit, and some food & drinks in local hackerspace.
