Gambling, Money Transfers these are the two areas where I mostly spend my bitcoins and bitcoins make gambling more fun as nobody knows who is gambling, who is winning and how much he is winning.

That's true, people generally used bitcoins for these two purposes and the best thing about the gambling with bitcoins is that you can gamble even with a minimal amount which doesn't goes same with fiat, as there are certain minimum limits when you gamble with fiat, and ofcourse online transfer is added advantage associated with bitcoins.

my major usage of bitcoin has always been trading altcoin, which is just a way of speculation, investment which is in fact another way to make more money. but along the way i liked how bitcoin works and want to see more places that accept bitcoin so that i can do my online shopping with bitcoin instead of using my credit card.

I've been making all my Amazon purchases on purse.io. It's been saving me 20-25% off all my purchases for the sake of waiting an extra day or two, absolutely brilliant and had no issues like some others seem to have had.

i just dont see the appeal in gambling thers always a bigger chance of losing than winning.

That's what makes it fun I suppose.
Anyone that gambles with profit in mind is probably a fool.

I paid for a sandwich at a Deli near Detriot several times.  It was very easy.  One of the times, their credit card machine was down so it was either bitcoin or cash.

Shit in my city there is only 3 places that accept bitcoin, none that  i use.

I wish i could buy some hotdog or food with bitcoin, it would be very fun.

Try to ask the shops you would like to use if they would accept bitcoin, I think that some of them would accept bitcoin if they saw many people requesting to pay with it.

The problem is that there arent much people that use it aswell.

If there would be more people using it, then the shops would use it too.

Its like the egg and the chicken question, which came first, because supply& demand works the same way.

i use it to buy giftcards on the gyft app.
I love using gyft, I have given them a lot of service. I'm upset that humble bundle stopped accepting bitcoin, and I don't think anyone really knows why.

I strongly believe one day I can pay my electricity bill as well as internet bill can be paid with bitcoin because now I'm paying them online. 3 years back I went to their office and paid in cash. So, I save bitcoins for my everyday needs in future.

Actually that's already happening in some countries like here on the Philippines! I am earning bitcoins enough to pay my monthly internet bills and sometimes our electric bill via coins.ph . Its really convenient and very helpful to a busy person like me

I haven't really used bitcoin yet but I hope to in the future and that's why I want to get more. I think bitcoin could be valuable in the near future but will take some time to grow.

You don't have enough bitcoins to spend?

Do you ever spend any money?

What's the difference?

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.
