Bitcoin allows me to opt out of the fiat scam.

i use bitcoin as a way to earn more money either from my signature campaign or by trading bitcoin i try to make more and multiply my stash.
and since this option is in the poll i have to say that i have never considered bitcoin as a get rich quick thing.
it is a good investment but not the best at the moment.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

For me, it's basically about independence and freedom. It is a way to ensure every person can have something like a bank account - without the banks themselves Wink The only problems is the technical knowledge required to use Bitcoin safely, and obviously the notorious instability of the price. I hope there will be solutions for these two issues.

And it's a means of international communication and a big statement against nationalism.

I love the idea of having a escape from the "official" fiat world. A way to store wealth in a decentralized manner, that is not inside a bank, and is not physical metals, that can be sent all over the world instantly. Just brilliant.

I do not trust any of the traditional online payment systems. It centralized and it's a target for hackers.

If I use Bitcoin in the correct manner, my security with online shopping is higher than any of these payment methods.

Banks have also raped my income, by charging me huge fees, for trivial transactions. This is enough reason for me to use Bitcoin.

I chose option 2 - I want to get rich with BTC.. But it's even too long to wait for me if it's in 5-10 years, so first I get rich with PayCon, after that I get rich later again with Bitcoin.. That's how I roll Tongue

Once rich - gonna reply here to this post of course Cool

Voted for option four. However, I dont really use bitcoin for option four. Option four is the closest option to what I use Bitcoin for. I use Bitcoin because I dont have paypal or whatever credit. As a freelancer (in the past), I would like to accept virtual currency which have a real value instead of fake value (ForumPromotion for example). Also, I would like to purchase things online for myself so I use Bitcoin.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Well, investment and making money sort of stuff is not my main agenda although at some point it is connected but that does not really matter. The closest would be to have the freedom of my spending power not being controlled and determined by the banks, so my vote goes to option #3. I hope the rest sees the real potential, threats and even weaknesses that exist in the current financial system.

Bitcoin means more to me than there are options available in this poll. But most of all Bitcoin means freedom.

Freedom comes from leaving the Keynes-Ponzi-scam that constitutes our current monetary system. Freedom also comes from taking control over your funds without having to trust middlemen like banks. And freedom comes from sending money worldwide without obstacles or excessive fees.

ya.ya.yo!

I'm usually transfer my money to my uncle on Australia. On that time, I'm using my local currency. Ofcourse the fee is high.
Once I'm know about bitcoin, I'm decide to switch to use it for my weekly transaction. With a low fee and fast transaction become the advantage why I'm choose bitcoin.

Yes bitcoin has made online transfer very easy and very cheap and it is also time saving. And the transfer is made within the fractions of minutes and it allows us to get rid of the traditional banking system which charges higher for transfer and it also consumes lot of time.

Very rightly said  Grin

I believe bitcoin is useful in many ways and choosing only one option out of poll would be injustice to bitcoin everyone wants to get rich in quick time so I think bitcoin can do it for me  Grin
