I use bitcoin mostly to make micro payments online and for online shopping sometimes (digital items) but i think i will spend also in physical goods. I also use bitcoin to make micro trades with altcoin and exchanging back to bitcoin.

I use my bitcoins as a mixture of gambling and trading. I probably never used any of the options. Theses 2 things are probably the ones I most use excluding investing which I always do.
Yes many people here are gamblers who are using bitcoins for their gambling on daily basis. Bitcoins is more flexible payment system for gambling purpose. This must be another reason why many gamblers are loving bitcoins including myself.

 Grin that is true. A better way to make gambing faster and tou wont be needing to go to a casino. Doing it online will make it easier plus you can stay at home make your own juice and food without paying too much unlike those casinos.

I treat bitcoin as bank deposit and account in one service. I am holing some amount with hope that we will see some price rise or bubble in the near future.
And in the meantime I am using a fracture of my coins as payment method for my online shopping sprees.

but still you need bank for any purchase from any local seller, which is named as escrow at here,
escrow is the same as banks in our country do for local business.

For gambling is my answer for now. I look around the internet to buy something for my coins but I noticed that on ebay same things cost less. So in the end I think I will buy some ebay gift cards and use it for first time in my life.
But until then I gamble, poker for bitcoins is much more interesting then for free. And I enjoy every second of it!

For me is i use bitcoin for gambling,investing and for service from small works. It is surely easy to transact using bitcoin amd it is easy to get scam to it if u dont reasearch on what and when you put your money.

yeah mainly I use it for gambling and for sending  money online, as bitcoin allows me to gamble with very small value without any involvement of third party.

i think gambling is one of the biggest ways of spending bitcoin right next after trading. also the big  gambling casinos always had the most transactions (most popular bitcoin addresses on blockchain.info)

Do you use Bitcoin at least once a month? What do you actually use it for? Why? Is it better, cheaper, faster, more convenient than alternatives? Is it the only option?

If those 120.000+ daily transactions are actually real, there must be thousands of Bitcoin users active every day. What are we actually using Bitcoin for? Are we just true believers or are there real reasons to use Bitcoin instead of other available options?


I figure it's about time that we have a clearer picture of actual Bitcoin use cases. Sure, in a year or two the picture will probably change completely, but it's useful info right now for anyone interested in growing our community.

Please answer in as much detail as possible!

Yes, i always use bitcoin everyday. I use bitcoin for gambling, paying my daily things, paying my electric bills and for trading. Why ? Because bitcoin is easy to use and have a good price.

Yeah the people who are holding bitcoin will never use credit card or Paypal, as bitcoin is more convenient to use and fees involved in bitcoin transaction are too low.

No kidding that gambling is easier when you use Bitcoin, there are far fewer questions asked and it feels less burdensome when you do lose some Bitcoin.

I personally do 80% of my gambling through Bitcoin, but for some people that won't work.
