I see more percentage of speculation in the poll with the current price kick.

Use of bitcoin in shopping I think will be lessen too to take advantage of the rising price except if really needed to shop.

Well i would like the poll to be opened to see new voters what will they vote.
Because it is closed Voting closed since July 11, 2015.
I think to shop through bitcoin is good if you don't have fiat money but not preferred.

Yes a new poll must added and all answers there are based on past months. I'd like to see how people will preferred to use it now that bitcoin price stepped in a new trend now after sleeping in the family of $200 range for a long time.

I think that most of the bitcoin holders will continue holding.
Because everyone is hoping that the price will reach much more than it is now.
Except those who needs urgent money to use for emergencies situation.

I believe that holding bitcoin is also a way of bitcoin usage. Many people buy bitcoin just to hold for long term. So, different people find different usage from bitcoin. I too prefer holding bitcoin for long term.

I have to agree with you that many people here buying or earning bitcoin for long term investment. They simply hold bitcoin. I too view this they are using bitcoin to hold for a better price in future. Hopefully the usage of bitcoin will rapidly grow to make it more successful innovation.

I've used bitcoins to buy a domainname (once). The rest i'm holding 

[Tstar]

I'm holding bitcoin that I luckily earned from trading and now they are my savings.
Hopefully BTC will be a big thing in the future and my little stash will grow.
In any case I will be glad to bitcoin and this forum because since I started using BTC in late 2012 I learnt a whole lot of new things.

Gonna buy a phone on Tuesday with the help of bitcoins (loaded my debit card with bitcoins from a local exchange) and this will be the first ever gadget purchase that I will do with my coins (next would be a gpu sometime later ).

That's great. Look like you don't want to ride the current price and decided to sell it now. Anyways it's for purposes and that is your money so you can do whatver you want. May I know what debit card you are using and you can load it with bitcoin thru local exchanges here?

Let us know how it goes, this is great to know that bitcoin can be used for these things.
Another one is by loading your bitcoin debit card but seems to be more expensive that your way.
Time by time i use bitcoin to buy some ebooks or sometimes some helpful video tutorials.

[yanka50]

I use them mainly for gambling, never bought any actual product with them.

[Timeline]

I bought HashStakers when the Paycoin hype was going on. That is the only purchase I have made and it wasn't a wise one. 

[UserVVIP]

I use it to buy steam games on the cheap. It is a good investment.

[leex1528]

I hold them, hope for the best.  I don't hold them all, but I spend a few things, I try gambling once in a while, usually with very small amounts.  I also purchase a couple things I want for entertainment, mostly at overstock.com

[dre1982]

Just bought some physical goods with it when the price was $800+. I am glad I spend some BTC at that rate instead of holding it.

This seems to be the most successfully story here.
I think that the goods that you purchased worth now more than $300.
I really hope to use it in the local minimarket for elementary things.

[Mo2015]

I use it solely for gambling, it is much more convenient then sites that accept CC deposits. When you win with bitcoins you can typically withdraw right away.
