I make use of both options sometimes I spend some Bitcoin on food because where I am from you can order food with them which is pretty handy.
I also make use of them as an investment so that I can make money with them in the future.

I primarily see bitcoins as an investment, something to trade with and generate some fiat...

The investment is much better for the long term and you can feel the benefits in the future. The investment will have no effect for those who hastily wish to benefit. So if you love investing investment learn then it is in, in order to gain a good

Bitcoin is both investment and currency for me. I hold most of the coins as investment. I use some as currency.

I use both the option because i consider bitcoin as gold and most of them keep gold as investment and in emergency they can liquidate fast. Bitcoin is good for investment also because day by day as most of them are implementing bitcoin in their daily life the price will go up only.

I use bitcoin as currency and investment. Though I have never invested a single dollar in it. All I invested are my earnings from the games and rounds and signature campaigns I joined in. In a sense, what I invested in bitcon is my time and effort. Part of my earnings I hold and the other half I spend either online or converted to fiat.

I mostly use my Bitcoins as both an investment and as cash, but mostly I get paid in bitcoin and usually sell my bitcoin straight away. When the price of Bitcoin is rising however, i prefer to hold onto my bitcoin and sell when the price is high. When it peaks, I sell and end up with a bit of money.

Even I use Bitcoin as an investment like so many other people do. I sometimes buy Bitcoins and sell them when the price is higher so I can make a profit.
But like most people I hold on to my Bitcoins for the future prices.

Do you use bitcoin as currency? Or you use bitcoin as investment? Or both?
I use bitcoin as currency and i never sell my bitcoin, but i prefer to use bitcoin when price is rising Grin

So, how about you?

I use bitcoin for both of them, as a currency because I'm able to deal online without to worry about transactions delays, limit on bitcoin amounts etc.
At the other side I consider bitcoin as an investment too because the fact that I'm holding bitcoin means that I'm investing in it.

but we have only one option and that is to hold our bitcoin for the price increase or to change it in to fiat currency when feel the need. but we cannot use bitcoin as a fiat currency in our shops or other places.

Both, but primarily as an investment. There isn't a whole lot you can spend bitcoin on at the moment besides consumer goods, which I do, but I have spent fiat to purchase bitcoin in an attempt to speculate on the price. Also, it makes a great savings account for the aforementioned reasons.

Unless you have a gambling problem, I guess.

Even if you cannot used it directly you always have an choice of converting it to fiat and use it, as for the better future of bitcoin we should use it regularly as a currency.

I used bitcoin mainly as an investment, its more profitable than investing in dollars and i can do the transansaction easily
And as i used it for a longer time there are so many shop accepting bitcoin so i also used it as a payment, so in other words i used it for currency and as investment.

I use it as a currency to get what I want right now.
Maybe that will change in the future but that is what my standard is for now.

I also use it as a currency because you can buy all kind of things with the bitcoin and they are mostly also cheaper.
As example you got some games here in digital goods that are way cheaper than on steam.
Yes most of us use it as a currency and actually we can also use it as both because you can invest something which is accepted by others and hence bitcoins act as a medium for it.

These days it's mostly as an investment opportunity. Lack of shops makes it this way. Thing is I am not a international shopper, mostly local things and close to 0 (read ) shops where I do my shopping accept it, let alone know about it.

If that would change I will use it for both.

No it's not what you think. Most of people using it as an investment that's why we have a price like this today.

If most of people will use this as a currency, then the price will now be stable and at the same no more active trades will be happen.

Exactly price is stable only because there is no movement in market, majority of people are holding their coins for price rise, if people would use it as a currency then we would be seeing much higher price by now.

For now it's an investment, and I think this should be the case for everyone when you put your money in an "under development" project. If the investment is successful and btc gets worldwide adopted while being interactive with the real world, then that's when I'll use them as a currency.
