Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

In the future I'd want to spend my bitcoins on everything from everyday food/travel to food and travel around the world. I'm not really using bitcoin much at the moment except for a few small things as I would rather treat it as a speculative investment initially. I can certainly see the potential in bitcoin and if it does as well as I hope I think it will turn out very well as an investment. We shall see.

Gambling is good for fun but do not make it an addiction or else you would turn out loosing all your bitcoins. It is better to invest your bitcoins into bitcoins. Try to buy more and keep it safe for the future as we believe that the prices will raise in the future. I generally use it for making online transfers as it is cost effective.

People end up in loosing thats what history says. You cannot win everytime and no one is that lucky to keep on everytime when he gambles. The thing is you win a less and loose everything when it comes to gambling its ok to gamble once in a blue moon but not everytime.

Did you ever see Human Centipede 2?
I print my BTC out on a paper wallet and do the same thing the guy in HC2 does with his little drawings.

I am holding my BTC to spend on items that cost more, not trinkets or anything, but things that require big investments.

Speculation and gambling, sometimes. And to receive payments, too.

Only for speculation. Transaction times are too slow to use it as a payment method or currency.

I have been actually thinking about this later. If the end goal is to use Bitcoin as a currency, then whats the point of selling for fiat again?
It will only go up. The problem is by not selling, we may big on massive gains in the bubbles, but you ever know when the bubble will being or burst.. its a big risk.

I use it primarily to rent online cloud services, like instances on AWS and private build servers. I also buy hardware and anything else online I can with bitcoins to avoid Visa/MC bullshit, and I do remittance to Kenya to pay front-end developer contractors with it because BTC->MPESA is so easy.

I think at lease 70% of the people follow this type of usage, there always those that have weird habits and come up with some wild ideas to why they use bitcoin..

I voted for the "Speculation/Investment/Saving" as most users of this forum. The result was obvious!
I still can not find another use for Bitcoins.
