What do you currently use Bitcoin for the most?
I intentionally left out an 'other' or 'both' option. I want people to chose from the given options. I only want to know what your currently using bitcoin for not what you intended to use it as or one day hope to use it as. Only what your currently using it for the most!

I use bitcoin primarily as a currency. I feel there are too many deals to be had on digital goods to keep any for an extended amount of time.

Long term wealth storage for now, but honestly there are few "coffee shop" type places that accept Bitcoin where I live. Adoption progress is slow, but it is moving. Our local Bitcoin "Fan" Network is very active here.
We need to get more people to respond to this poll!

Main use for me is storage (HODL!).
I trust that more merchants will start accepting BTC, then I can use it more often as a currency. I have only bought gold with my BTC.

Using it like a savings account. Lawnmower puts my spare change to BTC, and I check up on my returns every once in a while.

I voted for long term wealth storage, although I have paid for things online with Bitcoin. There i no option for traders, and I think a big proportion of bitcointalk members use Bitcoin for trading more than long term wealth storage. It attracts traders similar to the way stocks and shares attracts them.

For me it's mostly an investment at the moment, though I have used it for a few dozen transactions (Purse.io) and look forward to developments on that front. I'm surprised at the lack of remittance usage, given the obvious case for it compared to existing competition. I can't imagine the problems encountered thus far are intractable, so eventually I expect bitcoin remittances to surge, which will be good for the bitcoin ecosystem.

Voted for the second, but actually wanted to have both the first and the second option.
The majority is for long term wealth storage, but when suitable and convenient I use it as a currency as well.

Long term wealth storage here, though I frequently use it for non-spammy purchases such as equipment or private trades.

too bad decentralization is at stake.

This poll is somewhat rigged to produce a preconceived notion. You should include the option to say that we use Bitcoin for all of these things. Since that is the case for me, until you add that option I can not participate in this poll in good conscience.

For me it's about future profits and usage. Getting to use a high valued bitcoin price is the ultimate goal.

At the moment I am using Bitcoin as currency and as an investment. That's how I use Bitcoin the most of the times.

I'm not trying to trick anyone, I have no agenda I only want to capture a snapshot of what the average user is using bitcoin for at this time.

Long term wealth storage I guess. I definitely don't use it as a currency much but I suppose if I eventually take up gambling I'll use it for that. I think that's one of its main uses. To me, it's digital gold.

I use around .5btc every month. Everything that i earn from here i exchange to fiat to pay for my bills (electricity & phone) and mortgage of my motorcycle. What ever is left from my earnings i keep it as is.

Mainly for long term investment (HODLING).
I do gamble with the small amounts I make from signature campaigns though.
