human trafficking via SR.

Just kidding.

Mainly, my interest was just in mucking around with something new and interesting to see if it would go anywhere. Even in the 5 short months since I was informed of bitcoin's existence, i've seen amazing growth and evolution in the community, the value of bitcoins, the usefulness of bitcoins, not to mention the passion with which the community identifies/pursues/exposes/shames scammers.

Trying to find a way to make paper that's legal. Bit coin seems like a viable source of income, if you can get involved in the loaning aspect of it.

Because i don't trust anyone else being in charge of my funds besides me.

I'm a cash guy by nature, but if i gotta do business online, its bitcoin or nothing.

It gives people the real power over the currency.  I'd rather have my money in BTC.  Not to mention the free marketplace that it opens.

Hoarding.

If I can use Bitcoins on some site, I'll use them, but other than that I own Bitcoins mainly as an investment.

Definitely Business, there are just way too many advantages to Bitcoin to ignore it.

My secondary reasons include:

. Pissing off the U.S government and my own, Every Bitcoin gained means no taxes for them and they can't do a thing, I actually wouldn't mind just donating to certain government departments like health though if they were willing to negotiate :)

. Truly international trade, I love the way Bitcoin doesn't discriminate like governments do

. Protection against inflation, it's always good to diversify and Bitcoin should be no different, even the most cautious investor should try having 1% of their wealth in this currency just to see how it goes

I'm a liberty enthusiast, amateur economist, and entrepreneur.  I believe bitcoins give the means to begin to fix some of the mess we are in.
