How many people REALLY use bitcoin

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Every day I use Bitcoin to keep a portion of my savings secure.

This is what I kind of do with bitcoin, which is to just let it sit there.  I've come to the realization that bitcoin is best used as a store of wealth than as a currency, much like precious metals.  There aren't many merchants accepting bitcoin (well, nowhere I shop accepts it), and using cash or credit/debit cards is way, waaaay easier.  I think it's definitely failing as a currency and there's no need for it to be one.  Why go out of your way to purchase bitcoin with fiat just to buy something in bitcoin?  It's unnecessary.

I have only used bitcoin for buying digital goods, as not many places accept bitcoin in Alberta for now.

I think it's a lot. can even reach millions. just look at how many people active in this forum. This forum represents how many bitcoin users today. passive and active.

I use bitcoin to do online shopping. I buy computers and hardware components with bitcoin whenever I can.

Of course millions occupy the currency.

Of course millions occupy the currency.

not more than 2 milion real users.  there were around of 1 mil users about 2 years ago. so bitcoin is not so big as the shitty BTC media is saying. Coindesk is lying and it's making propaganda with fake and useless news.

perfectmoney.com or okpay.com   are much bigger than Bitcoin even these systems do not have a such media. it's so funny! ))

Currently I know of two of hand: Dell and Newegg electronics.
As for them carrying Apple, I don't think they hold these products. They would have to be a licensed authorized reseller which is given out exclusively by them and I think the biggest big box store outside of their own are Best buy.
Maybe trade in bitcoins for best buy gift certificates. That might be your better option.

I just checked the Newegg website to try to buy a Macbook.
And seems that they do not accept now bitcoin, maybe they have any issue?
See this picture: only bitcoin is not available to make purchase:
 

I am pretty sure they have some temporary issues! I haven't seen any announcements anywhere that they are dropping Bitcoin as the payment method!

If anyone has any news or updates, thanks for sharing! I will shoot an email to their support, let's see what their response will be.

I tried to search about it on google, and maybe bitcoin payment isn't available for all goods in there.
Here's the news that i've found : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/newegg-bitcoin-only-deals-to-look-for-on-bitcoin-black-friday/

I can't find really accurate news or updates, so better see their response.

I think its because Newegg sells through other merchants as well as from their own stock. I assume they can only accept Bitcoin for their own goods.

how many people really use bitcoin .I can,t guess about it. I  hope maybe one million above now using bitcoin but now you can only guess not can say about bitcoin how many people really use bitcoin

i use bitcoin most of all to buy things on amazon whit purse.io, and i use it for gambling small sums, ive never used bitcoi in a physical store

[lrdeoliveira]

i use bitcoin to save some and use it on the like my mainly long term investment and i use some to buy things online, example a good vpn or gift cards

[MaritiJames3]

I think its not possible to know that it get used by a lot of people but some people only use it one time that is the problem. I think the most just long invest, its of course the best thing to do.

[romero121]

Mostly people are using bitcoin for transaction. I have been also using bitcoin for the transaction purpose. Now a days more people are using than the previous statistics. This reduced transaction fees are now a days attracting more common men who are not much aware of bitcoins.

That is cool too. Bitcoin also needs to be used regularly and not just stuck everything in ages. Use some and save some for the price increase. That is what I always think so that it will circulate.

I use bitcoin only for the necessities of life and not spend it just to play gambling. because I have a special capital to play gambling that I got from the giveaway or free bitcoin of gambling site.

Virtually now it is free to use bitcoin for whatever purpose you want. It is sure that there are some big stores/services which did not start using bitcoin yet but there are best alternatives of that stores/services , which are much better then any other, Nowadays I am using bitcoin for all my transactions and it is much convenient for me to receive and spend money in bitcoin.
