Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for?

[ashour]

shoping and gaming.

online gaming and gambling.

I do investment, some shopping and gambling with my bitcoins.

Gambling is one of the top 3 industries in bitcoin, so the gambling industry will flourish with bitcoin.

Shopping is also in the top 5 but not in the top 3.

Investment/trading is in the top 3 too.

The bitcoin gambling industry will definitely grow within the coming years but I think that regulations may slow it a bit down.

What do you mean with your post?  Gambling is to play in casinos (real or online). Bitcoin is one of the ways in which you can play. You can use real money or bitcoins to play. Naturally with with bitcoins you can play only online (it is a digital money only). This site want to know the purpose for which you use your bitcoins. What is difficult to understand here? What is what you don't understand?

Edit: Don't gamble never. You will lose for sure your money if you will do this.

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!

I don't consider bitcoin as an investment, instead as a money. I used it when sending money to friends and sometimes as a micropayments. Also when gambling when I am bored

But it's too early to use bitcoin as a money. Because I can not find too many options for spending for my desired brands and places. Instead I can analysis profit over time if I consider bitcoin as a investment. So, I prefer bitcoin as of now as a investment, may be after 15 to 20 years I may use my savings as money.

I see Bitcoin as the "Gold" of crypto currencies due to it's value and by being the pioneer of the block chain technology. Therefore, I always invest a small amount of money each day into it, for a hopefully increase in price. (not to mention my earnings from signature campaign and trading which is another thing)

I'm surprised that you have again bitcoin. You must have to much money to buy bitcoin every day or you have found an way to secure bitcoin continuously. Because gambling so much you must lose to many bitcoins every day.

So far I've played poker and dice, purchased coffee and an antminer but, mostly I've traded it for dirty fiat currency from the local Bitcoin ATM. With increased adoption and hopefully more money in my pocket I'll be using it to buy stuff (other than more miners) online in the future.

For online purchases it beats credit cards hands down, the merchant gets his money instantly (almost) and for the buyer it's just point and click at the screen with your cell phone and you're done. This is the future of money.

I think that you do wrong using the bitcoin for buying with it everyday things. I should not tell this because the use of bitcoin will help the spread of it more fast (and this is the best service that someone can do for it), but I think that its value it is much more than buying everyday stuffs. Anyhow you continue in this way but using less bitcoin (if something which I write will have some importance for you). In which you do your "mission" about it and preserve your wealth for the future.

Recently I used my all saved bitcoin for important matter but it is not actually the usage of my bitcoin. So in general, I just my saved bitcoin when in need. I have a real life job now so my expenses are covered in my salary. Bitcoin in my wallet are just saved for future use when time comes that I will need it.

But if you used all your bitcoins for important matter what do you have in your wallet? In the beginning of your post you tell that you have used ALL your saved bitcoins and then in the last sentence of your post you write that YOUR bitcoins are SAVED in your wallet for the future? Which bitcoins have you saved? They (all) that you have used??!!

You are confusing me..... But, I think, not only me....

I am currently using bitcoin only for topping up my mobile.
I am not earning enough to actually buy some goods online.

I've been using Bitcoin as a means of saving the value of my dollar in the long run, and of course a lot of my use of Bitcoin is experimentation. In the last year of using Bitcoin, I have to say it does indeed have a lot of potential and it should in a few years become very valuable.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Mainly HODLING (long term investment). I gamble a little with bitcoin I get from signature campaigns. I use bitcoin as a long term investment mainly though in the desperate hope that if we go to the moon one day it could make me a lot of money.

How can you use BTC to climb pyramids

I use to trade and transfer money and put money in a safe place where others can't reach.

Just it.

Acceptance still is too low

Apology Sir if I mislead you in that post but I think my sentence is correct.

The last sentence that "I saved" was already used now (first sentence) because it is the "time comes" which is reffering to "important matter". Hope it is clear now lol.

Right now I started saving again thru doing some bitcoin earning method. Hope I can get back all the coins that I spent without buying it in my fiat currency because I don't preferred that method.
