Most are only being used by traders to profit. So the real usage is low as compared to the volume in the exchange sites. Bitcoin has yet becoming a major payment option.

I just wanted to know if you guys use bitcoin quite often in your life. Please give me some occasions where you have used bitcoin.

there aren't that many people who are really using bitcoin. because there is not enough places that accepts bitcoin and in some countries there is even none.

i have only used bitcoin to buy altcoins and that is just an alternative way of investment and not really a usage. but if there were places even online that accepted bitcoin directly i would do my online shopping with bitcoin at least.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

not many in my country who accept bitcoin. so I just exchange it with fiat every week and for online shopping only be used to buy pulse

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.

I bought a Spotify acount and also some private tracker torrents invites recently. I wouldn't be able to do it using fiat money at all!

When you compare the number of people who has using bitcoins to those who are not using, those using bitcoins are few but their number is significant. Personally, I use bitcoins to buy airtime for some cellphones, pay for online services, exchange for fiat and even use them to lend to others.

Bitcoin gave the power to people to act as bank institutions, lending and borrowing money around. There are plenty of activities one could do using bitcoin instead of just holding it.

We could have an ideia of how many people are really using by looking at the estimates of exchange users. In my country, the second largest exchange has more than 100k users...

But those who REALLY use them is definitely way less. Most are just trading them for holding and profits after converting it back to FIAT but those who really purchase items, pay their bills etc are only a few.

I do not really honest. I think many people have it, but I do not use most of it. I think there are also people who have forgotten that they had Bitcoin.
But Bitcoins active users, there are also a lot of.

I use btc to buy things such as downloading site premium accounts and domains at times. I hold some, but have bought some things and want to get some games.

I just use bitcoin for steam products and items on different games. I basically use it for digital and for game. However, if i ever have the opportunity to save up i would go for bigger products like mouses, USBs ...etc  Smiley

I use Bitcoin all of the time. I use it now for business and normally, I'm paid from clients in Bitcoin as it's the easiest solution for me and I even find it better than using card payments (it's a lot safer).
