Who actually spend bitcoins ? and for what ?

[bitkilo]

So far i have only paid for 1 coffee with bitcoin but will look for places this week, i travel a bit for work so i want to buy a least 1 lunch this week with btc.
I have Hero sub on my list this week then maybe The Vine hotel for a pub meal on the weekend.
I just found a great site call coinmap and have found heaps of places here in Melbourne to spend btc.

A huge amount of bitcoins is used for buying other cryptocoins. It's almost the only thing I've used it for. Played some rounds on dragons tale but its a losing game.

same, everyone just spend bitcoin to makes even more bitcoin, so only in crypto world for now, bitcoin should be looked more from a tech point of view and not under the "speculation tab" only

[cryptworld]

I have spent in some services,gambling,investing, and buying some stuff

Mining equipment, food, vacuum cleaner, light fixtures, big comfy comforter set (with Euro pillows), Starbucks cards and with that...my favorite coffee maker: a burgundy Verismo. Books (lots of books), too much from Home Depot lately. If something I want or need can be purchased with bitcoin I try to do it as directly as reasonable. My vacuum was from Overstock but many times I order Amazon with Gyft cards (same with Home Depot and my friggen house always needs something ;-)

From what I gather the OP thinks it's bad to hold Bitcoin and at the same time it is bad to spend Bitcoin.  I've noticed a trend of people who like to make arguments that bitcoin is doomed for one of these reasons but never both at the same time.  The guy the spent a thousand dollars on a pizza helped bring Bitcoin to where it is today..  The guy holding his coins helped bring Bitcoin to where it is today and that is what has made Bitcoin special and widely known.  So your logic that it will be doomed for either of these reasons is just way off base.  It's you that doesn't undterstand what will make Bitcoin succeed and not the people you think aren't making good decisions with their coins(in mhy opinion).

Although pizza guy only parted with his cash because he had no impetus to hold onto his coins. And i think this is the problem with bitcoin in its current phase - many people all think theyre either gonna get very rich, or lose everything and look back on it with a smile. theres too much temptation, which will play into human nature until at least the price becomes a little more predictable. nothing to say it's doomed though, why should it be? the ability to fend off peaks and troughs, for example with the recent whale selling, is proof alone that sentiment is positive.

Spend bitcoin? I don't understand

The spend on retail is probably mostly driven by the likes of online retailers like Overstock. This will soon change once Xapo get their cards out which seems to be log jammed and bitpay gets closer to its 1 million merchant target for end of 2016

Big ticket items at $10 million each are bullion dealers

Individual retailers in niche markets also seem to be having success

- average customer spend is higher = higher sales
