I'm curious if anyone has seen any big "legitimate" uses for which bitcoin has a clear advantage over standard fiat money. I've been dabbling in bitcoin for a little while now and would love to see it grow, but as I talk to people about it, it's been hard to see how it will find a mainstream use in a developed country. I'm really wondering about this more from a transactional perspective as opposed to using it as a hedge against inflation, etc.

I'm a deal hunter. I don't buy everything that's on sale, but for items I was going to buy anyway, I'll take the time to search out the best deal possible. There are times, I find, that people put stuff up on Bitmit or on the goods forum for an excellent discount. I got a year of Netflix for 1 bitcoin. That would be like if bitcoins were worth $98. Yeah, sometimes the deals are better in fiat, but if you don't have bitcoins, then you are going to miss out on some stuff.

It's been really interesting reading everyone's uses of bitcoin, though I still feel that most of them are for the novelty of buying with bitcoin versus it being substantially more cost effective.

For the people buying things at physical locations in Berlin, why has bitcoin caught on so much there? Seems there must be an economic reason behind it more than just a large bitcoin-favoring libertarian community.

My first purchase was some Casascius coins, other than that mostly investing and losing bitcoins on GLBSE.

While I've bought a host of other things, I most recently bought the Alpaca socks on Bitcoin Friday.

I wore them tons this past week and I've never had a piece of clothing so comfortable.

Preordered a couple of Jallys that were later upgraded to little SCs.  Both transactions were bitcoin transactions.
