With about half the jobs I do for people lately, I get paid in Bitcoin. I think the last thing I actually bought with Bitcoin was some things for my cat.

I use bitcoin for investment, saving, online shopping, and games. For online shopping there are no many provider accept bitcoin right now, but there are some. Paying with bitcoin is easier than paying with credit card in my opinion.

It will take time for websites to accept bitcoins as a mode of payment on the internet but still there are few websites that accepts bitcoins so once all websites get into it, online shopping would be much more easier.

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.

At now there're some file sharings those offer their premium membership with bitcoin. I hope other services will follow them like shareware developer, game developer and the others.

I voted for Speculation/Investment/Saving. I plan to save my bitcoins for a while but then will spend them on things that I want and hopefully travelling. I think it would be awesome to travel on bitcoin and use it as a worldwide currency. Paying no extortionate bank fees would be great.

I use Bitcoin for a few main reasons. One main reason is for online purchases. In my opinion, Bitcoin is way easier and convenient to use for making online purchases. I prefer Bitcoin over Paypal. I also use Bitcoin as a hobby and for speculation.

Paypal is something very boring and hectic and I think now it has become a history. Bitcoin is a future and will change the financial system for sure and I generally prefer it for online money trasnfers as it is very safe and at lower fees and also a time saving process.

The main problem is getting the BTC in the first place. The average joe sees a hassle to convert their dollars or euro into BTC before purchasing or paying. Only when jobs are offered to be paid in BTC we'll see more usage by "normal" people.

That is true If the companies starts paying their employees their salary in Bitcoins then it would create a great impact the adoption and the usage of bitcoins, We want that the demand of bitcoins should go high then only there would be a stability in the value of bitcoins.

i don't know if this excuse can still be bought anymore, we have great service already, like circle, which has his mobile version and the trade is auto-done, so you don't even need to put order and something like that, it should be pretty confortable for everyone

It's easier than ever to get hold of it. There's still no reason to actually buy any for the vast majority of first worlders.

Online purchases by using bitcoins is a great option. But still very few websites accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment when it comes to online shopping. But very soon majority of the websites would start accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment.
