Answers 1,3 and 4 are decent responses but the rest are garbage. Sending money and leaving the traditional banking services are the best.

Going the making a quick buck route only is possible when the we're at the end of a bear market and you're lucky enough to time it right which is not possible in reality but being disciplined at this point could help. Typically, you're lucky having thought about bitcoin now and getting your stash set at this point.

Leaving the traditional banking system.  If you are familiar with them, then you know that the modern mega banks are both the largest parasite on society and the worst existential risk to our safety.  I hate to think of all the children who get thrown in to wars because of greed.  It will be no better if the next bubble causes an even worse crash.  Political instability in less wealthy nations will spread.

A little bit of everything mentioned. I can save some money, because when i convert to bitcoins they stay there since is a work to get them out. This helps me save some money. Then bonus when the price goes up or... down Wink

OP if there was option to chose multi answers for vote that could make it more interesting.I wanted to give vote for at least three of these available options but as I had only one choice so my vote goes to the option no.4 an easy way to send money for less but this is not all what it really means to me.There is a set of combination which can explain better my answer.

At first I think we can get rich through bitcoin but later I love it! Because I can transfer it without cost and easily do the international business. So I can get rid of traditional banking!

well is hard to decide only one, so i will use a rank xD, from y point of view i will choose:

1-An easier way to send money for less
2-A way to leave the traditional banking system
3-A way to save your extra money

the number 3 is just for now, because i expect that the number 3 will be converted in number 2 soon A "get rich quick hope/prayer" Tongue

IMHO #1.b of suspects, Hal Finney is/was S.N.

I was attracted to Bitcoin, as I was against the exploitation of hardworking people by the banking cartels. When I first collected my Bitcoins in 2012, I never thought that I'll be receiving any profits from it. But in the end, Bitcoins gave me decent returns, as the exchange rate went up from $10 in 2012 to $1,200 in 2013.  Grin

All of the above with the exception of A get rich quick hope/prayer I can't see anybody getting rich quick with Bitcoin right now unless the price sky rockets back up towards the $1k mark. 

Another choice you could add to the list would be addiction Bitcoin is an addiction, the amount of time I have spent online regarding Bitcoin and altcoins is crazy, not sure it is the same for anybody else but it would be interesting to see how many people would choose addiction from a list.

#3, but with the idea that it should also increase in value over time, as with gold etc. Not get rich quick, but normal reasonable price appreciation.

Bitcoin to me promises a future that I probably won't be able to achieve in the normal working world.
It's an investment opportunity like no other than 'could' give me returns that I probably can't achieve anywhere else as an 'average joe' with a mediocre salary.
It's a store of value, a currency that could rocket in price, I guess I'm just here HODLING, hoping for a future that maybe only bitcoin can give me (bar eventual inheritence Cheesy).

Most importantly it means social change.

Look... even if you have no bitcoin its a great thing to support.  If we can take out the banks/gov control on money everything will change. Even if you are poor the world will offer greater opportunity and if you are too old or unhealthy to work i would imagine charity will also be greatly improved.
