Title: POLL: What are you mostly doing with BitCoin?
Post by: bitcoinemily on July 18, 2011, 12:30:00 AM
Hey fellow n00bs! ;D

So I'd like to know what you're doing with your BTC - I think the options I put are what most people use it for ::)!

Where is the most popular option ("nothing") :) ?

I believe "mining" qualifies as "nothing."  Since those who are not trading are simply doing nothing with their coins as they continue to mine.  So yes.

If you answer "other", please tell us what you're doing (developing a bitcoin webapp? Buy virtual goods?)

Funny that nearly nobody answered "silk road" yet this is what the media is trashing us about.

I don't do drugs but I'll use bitcoin to buy things once people actually offer something I want. But for now I'm chugging away at the breakeven point.

mining and waiting for compelling items to purchase.

sad that spendbitcoin's affiliation with newegg.ca fell through or i'd have bought a 2nd 6870 by now.

More like buy bunch of ATI graphic cards and play a Farm Ville style game, a little bit connection to the real world, but not yet very convincing, since I do not even have a U.S. bank account!


Title: Re: POLL: What are you mostly doing with BitCoin?
Post by: jh1523 on July 28, 2011, 03:01:48 AM
It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy: mine to get BTC to buy more cards to mine more to get more BTC to buy more cards etc.

I know, right?  The fun just never stops.  Except the difficulty rises each time you buy the next card, so the BTC per day never goes up, your electricity bill goes up, and you end up with a bunch of stylin-ass gaming rigs!

A part from trying out the technology behind Bitcoin (transferring to a mobile wallet, online wallet, desktop wallet etc) I'm also keeping a small amount of BTC just for investment, and actively pursuing a good idea for a business based on BTC.

I mine my coins to trade them and only cash out when i need to pay some bills.  might as well make my coins go further, eh?

(see bot in sig!)

I trade. And I want to buy more stuff for coins directly in shops instead of exchanging them to $$$.

I want to hoard, but at my slow mining pace (~200mhs) I tend to see something I like before I have enough.

Trying to start a business for trading games for bitcoins. This takes a lot of time to do.

Mining
Investing

Plan on doing a local Brick and mortar exchange as well with the BTC I've purchase/earned so far.
