How is bitcoin most important to you?

[bearex]

As a speculation, but i also like it as a payment method. Way more than paypal.

[extrabyte]

Voted for the first one, but there should be more answers, bitcoin is important to me and i expect to pay every bill in the near future.

[Redrose]

What I like is that the low transaction fees and it is borderless. It connects two ppl instantly in two corners of the worlds.

[Amph]

as a decentralized means of payment, so i choose the second option, but i not consider it so similar to gold to be honest, gold is not even limited in supply, it can theoretically be infinite...

I use Bitcoin every day to send and receive money. It's my main choice for online payments as it is easy, safe and fast. Great currency. I also find Bitcoin to be a great store of value. Since the very first day that I started with fully holding Bitcoin, my coins gained value significantly. I look at the long term picture, and I will see the value of my coins gain more and more value. Holding pays off. And it's of course an investment tool.

tldr.

Currency.
Store of value.
Investment tool.

I would go for bitcoin for paying but also for speculation. This is some new hobby i developed and which i like very much.
So in a way i prefer stability but I like the fluctuation too.

We run a bitcoin startup. Bitcoin is important to us as it represents our company future.

We hope it'll be a successful one for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin adoption continues, our startup will grow.

[Snorek]

For me bitcoin is used as: payment mechanism between friend, family, coworkers. Also I hold small amount of BTC in case future will bring better price.
And of course, last but not least, I sell high and buy low, is this count as Speculation? Too bad you can't choose multiple answers in your poll.

[~Bitcoin~]

I have used in both ways like storing it until it gains value like double as of now from 250 to 450. After than i used it cashed this coin out to my local bank.

[foxkyu]

Do not choose even one option. Will choose after you adding more options.

Because i use it for trading. I don't think it was in pump and dump or speculation categories.

[Pollak]

I voted for Store of value independent of the government similar to gold, bitcoin isn't similar to gold but in a way you can store money into gold as well as into bitcoin.

[Nameless Coin]

I would have to pick the second option to vote. I use bitcoin as a savings method as well as a investing method.
If the bitcoin price goes up, I would make a lot of profits off that.

[knightkon]

Bitcoin is most important to me because of the future of it.  I am of coarse going to keep collecting my Bitcoin to build it us, but opening with a whole new currency allows people to start some of the same current business only involving Bitcoin.  This opens a whole new field of opportunities for people and I am going to take advantage of this. 

[LuckyYOU]

I don't depend on bitcoin as my main income source, so for this I think I would have to go with the second one. I do bitcoin on the side of my main job that I attend to during the week. Other than that I use bitcoin to save up some money and sometimes I gamble with it. I don't do it that often because I don't think I will win much in the long run.

[jacee]

I've been using bitcoin as a source o income online. I accept both USD an BTC online. I use tem to support my living so bitcoin is important for me in every way since I don't hae yet a real job to support my expenses.

That's cool and highly appreciated because many don't even try to earn when they are online also try to learn as much as possible about the future currency"Bitcoin". Knowledge is money and also spread awareness about bitcoin to your family and friends let's help BTC to become mainstream.

[Hashminers]

I sometimes gamble with my bitcoins, don't worry I'm not wasting all of it to gamble away. Only a certain amount. I don't gamble on a daily basis, that would be a waste for a fact. Other than that I don't really use my bitcoins, if I find something that i want to buy on the internet and bitcoin payment is acceptable then I will pay with bitcoins.

[Bitcoinpro]

as important as my Mother, almost

[yoona]

Unlike you I never gamble using bitcoin. Because bitcoin is very important to me, because I use it in sending payments to my family who are in my home country, and they make a living from it. It makes things very easy, I have made lots of profit by using bitcoin for fund transfer, so it is very important.
