I have only a few bitcoins and I am saving those with the hope that one day the price will be increased and I can profit from those changing in fiat money. I am increasing those doing signature campaigns and buying some from time to time.

I am not using at all my bitcoins because I hope that its value increased very much and want to pay the college of my daughters. Maybe they will be able to pay themselves their college taking a credit but I want to help them anyway. Always hoping that bitcoin will not betrayal me.

Most of my bitcoin funds I keep in the wallet, with hope to sell them later and earn some good profit, when value of BTC will increase significantly.
Some of BTC funds I invested in other online businesses and some bitcoin I cash out.

Mostly for trading to increase my position within Bitcoin holdings.

Ultimately I would like to spend some coins on purchasing (legal) goods online. Right now I aren't aware of many safe options for purchasing online using BTC.

I use it for savings, for diversifying my assets portfolio, for online shopping and money transfers.

I was using it for gambling as well but thanks God, I have succeeded to stop with it, since it was bringing me nothing but the frustration and loss!

P.S. I am also paying my bills with it. More transactions the merrier! lol

I prefer it for money transfer too, as it is so quick and very minimal fees that attracts you towards bitcoins and it is also time saving. It is far better then WU where you need to wait in queue, fill up the form and pay them heavy transaction cost. But the main reason behind the use of bitcoin is to save it for the future as a investment tool.

Yes it is a blessing for those who doesn't have a credit card and wants to shop online. As in the past, Credit card was the only product which can be used for online shopping, but now we have option of bitcoins to make a payment.

And I also use it for online transfers, gambling (Sometimes) and also for porn but only when I am alone at home  Grin

I'd go with speculation/investment. I use bitcoin for trading using ecoin.eu. Sometimes I buy stuff with it. I'm actually looking to buy a solid office rig with my coins. No luck on the hardware section though Sad

Actually I am looking to trade in forex using bitcoins. Is there any website that allows you to trade in forex using bitcoins, as I am new to trading and no knowledge of trading in forex, so please suggest some website where I can trade using bitcoins.

I have used it only for speculation, which seems to be the answer of the majority.

It looks like Blockchain.info is doing a survey with similar questions. It'll be interesting to see the results if/when they publish them:
