Now, my bitcoin is being used for emergency purposes. If I have nothing for my daily expenses I use it as my back up so that I will something to spend. Thanks to bitcoin my life have become more easier.  Grin

I feel you mate.

Even if I want to hold, urgent situation came. Well at least I can used my saved coins in important matters rather than spending it bullshit reason. But in the past I use to buy liquors with my saved coins lol.

I use Bitcoin to hold them and invest some of it on alt coins for trading and earning profits. I have a physical vault with a variety of paper wallets (plus digital backups of them encrypted in the cloud) from alt coins and Bitcoin itself. These I would hold on to them for the future when the price would be higher.  Cheesy

the first choice is have 70%,and its investment,but i think whole of that voters is a rich people  Grin

They don't have to be rich to make investments. They could be hard working people who are trying to achieve something and have a set goal infront of their eyes.

I second the motion. I want to know what online store is that and might visit that and go shopping for other people needs.
I hope you can share that with us.

I am just using bitcoins as my preferred currency to trade in the forex market, but I have to admit that I don't feel any pressure these days to spend my bitcoins because I prefer to spend my dollars and buy bitcoins, thinking in the long term possibilities.

I would suggest the OP to reopen the poll to vote and the others that haven't voted before.
Most of the people seems that voted for speculation, personally i use bitcoin as investment first.
Then buying digital items like keys, licenses and anyother kind of giftcards.

Investing in bitcoins at present is the right thing do as the price of bitcoins will go much more higher in the coming months so it is better to invest money in it and sell it at the right time and generally I used it for online transfers as it is very easy and convenient.

If there is any good company or any good website to invest in i would invest immediately.
But from my little research i found that there aren't any secure company that will guarantee me profit.
Of if there is any profit it will take years to earn few dollars which i consider waste of time.

I use Bitcoin to function as my own Bank, i've had alot of hassle from actual banks doing this and actually the Bitcoin economy isn't anywhere near mature enough to side step fiat.
