I'm saving mostly, occasionally buying and adding to my stash. But I also from time to time shop online and buy video games with Bitcoin. I used to invest in altcoins but because I got scammed most of the time I stopped  Cheesy

currently i mostly save up my bitcoins that i earn, and additionally i try to buy some more if i can afford it and the price is right.
but other than that i try to do some altcoin trading with my bitcoin so that they are not just sitting there, and i try to earn some profit this way.
also i do some gambling, but i try to keep it minimal so when i lose i don't get much sad.

Online shopping mostly, for digital stuff like games, items, etc. And buying phone credits too, in case I'm too lazy to go outside.

Gambling, rarely, just for fun only.

I use it primarily to pay for my electronic purchases - servers, domain names. Since I'm keeping a majority of what I have stored - I don't use it that often, maybe a couple times a month (or if I need cash in a hurry). I'm personally hoping that bigger retailers (i.e. local department stores start accepting it) - will definitely spur on increased consumer usage.

Interesting results so far... although I'd wait for at least 100 votes before drawing any conclusions..


I would definitely also use Bitcoin regularly to buy take-out online, if the option was available where I live.

why only two choices! i think many people are going to use more that two options.
i mostly use it as an investment kind of thing, i buy and hold for better days Smiley
also i sometimes use some to gamble.

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.

I use Bitcoin for everything I purchase online. Main reason being I can't have a credit card yet and I the transaction fees are low and refilling paypal is a hassle.

since I am a little new to bitcoin, right now I am only gathering bitcoin from any source that I can. mostly it is from signature campaigns. also I try to buy some with fiat too.
since I don't spend much, I guess I can say that my use from bitcoin is as an investment.

Only Bitcoin

Yes this are the three best options available for the person who is using bitcoin I generally prefer it for online shopping as it makes shopping very much easier and I also use for my mobile recharge as I can recharge my phone from any corner of the world using my bitcoins and would really love to use it for gambling sometime just for fun.

Speculation/Investment/Saving
but once Bitcoin is 100% mainstream, there will be no "cash" other than Bitcoin. You will be buying everything in Bitcoin, from food to electronics. Your salary will be in Bitcoin.

That would be the best day for the bitcoin community where you can purchase anything by using bitcoin and going cashless. I wish that day comes soon. But talking about present I generally use my bitcoins for gambling as it is considered black money so nobody knows how much I am winning or loosing by using bitcoins  Cheesy Grin

Gambling is my choice and I would definitely use my bitcoin for gambling as there is no risk involved in gambling if you are going with a bitcoin as bitcoin is decentralised no one is aware who is using it and how much he is winning it so i would rather choose an option which can grow my bitcoins in a quick time.

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?


I'm use at least once per week. I'm usually use it for purchase games online cash and the rest I keep it up.
I'm also so amaze at the first time when I'm know this unique currency. No other currency can be like this one that's why I love it.
There's not possible to be a rich guy when holding on bitcoin  because it's still have a future.

I use bitcoin once in each and single day whether it is for online shopping or gambling. Generally I use it more for the gambling purpose as it is the best thing to do i guess. As you don't have disclose your identity that makes it much more safer and attractive as no one is aware who is using it for gambling.  Grin

I use it for phone credits too and it is the best way to get phone credit in fractions of seconds and I also use it as I dont want to get involved in using the banking systems like going to bank,standing in a queue to solve the issues related to my savings ac or credit card so I prefer using my bitcoins for online transactions.

I use them to give away for free and it is astonish to notice that no many people want them.
Perhaps I should give less and pay people to ask it... Smiley
