What are you using bitcoins for?

[Aikidoka]

Poker!

Do you use bitcoin to play poker? That is all? I am not here to lecture you, but do you not think that it is not worth putting your bitcoins on something like that? I mean if you just tried to collect your bitcoins instead, you would have had much bitcoins in your wallet. Smart people always consider bitcoin as a rule of saving or trading. I am not telling you to stop playing poker, but at least, use it for something else, too. For example, you can play with 30% of bitcoin and use the remaining for something else worthy.

Most of the time I use bitcoin for long-term investments, currently I have no other investments other than bitcoin so it becomes my main hope to be rich in the day.

I'm trying to use it as an investment

I use bitcoin for trading with altcoin, I think trading with bitcoin is so practical that it does not need confirmation like forex trading that takes a long time to see the funds go in or not.

Not only that, in forex you are competing against people with so much money that you have no chance if they decide to crash the market, but in bitcoin, while whales are much bigger than you they are not as big as the forex whales so you have a better chance to make money, besides you do not need thousands of dollars to open an account, you can begin with a few dollars and learn how to trade that way.

They have many can use your bitcoin,Bitcoin it will use for also for buying if they have some stores accepted bitcoin. But we as a have known about bitcoin maybe we use our bitcoin for investment or for trading. And have some others also they cashout maybe need money so thats why they cashout.

Investor, Im trying to invest as much as i can for my future plans just trying to observe the market so that i can make a really good decisions in holding or selling. I know that bitcoin is used in black market i think because it is money as long as money is involved there are always affiliates illegal things.

I use bitcoins to buy altcoins, move around the space, buying some services here and there, and very rarely withdraw some and change them into fiat. I am planning on using them to purchase some gadgets and such in the future.

Seems that you are a high of discipline. You already have a good plan about your bitcoin as to where and how to use it.  I never tried buying altcoins as I do not know how to have an income with it. 

I use bitcoins to pay my bills and loading up my phone.  That is how I use my bitcoins because the very reason why I am here is that I want to earn an extra income.

I have brought PC bits and pieces, some subscriptions, I want some Tshirts but have not found a design I want yet, bitcoin from cassicus(sp) but I am mostly saving like I did with fiat that some like to call hoarding

I agree and also use bitcoin to buy gaming PC and pieces. But i use my bitcoins to buy things that i want to buy and things that i need in my everyday life, I also give/buy my family what they need in they’re everyday life also. I also use my bitcoin to trade it in trading sites and invest in bitcoin related businesses.

Are you telling that you earn huge amount of BTC that can cover the needs of your personal and family needs? Well I salute you. I don't know a way here in crypto that can guarantee a fixed profit monthly. Except if you are a good trader or mods here in the forum.

I am solving my money problem that i needed in daily of my family. I converting it into US$ and then into my currency. I am too much in need of money for my family for that reason i am doing campaigning and earning BTC. It is helping me in many ways.

Just be careful we do not know if the money we are earning with bitcoin is going to keep coming, what would you do if the value of bitcoin goes down or if you cannot get money through bitcoin any longer, I think since you are using your earnings for such an important matter that you need to try to get a job in your country and only use bitcoin if you have to.

Me too, I use it to invest not as payment system or selling all the time. I just collect or buy the Bitcoin not selling it. People need to know that Bitcoin is a good investment, although we cannot know the future of Bitcoin. I just hope that I know the true value of Bitcoin. Right now, the only thing I can do is collecting Bitcoin.

[Saifher]

Right now im just HODLING! But i want to use it in the future to buy everything! Food, Books, Electronics, anything and everywhere!

[gustavroy]

i using my bitcoins because gain money like everybody on this forum.in the real life i never use my coins and i never think to use them

If I may rank all these uses of bitcoin, the top being the primary way how people make use of their bitcoin, the number one would be conversion to fiat. Spending in real life is still fiat-based basically. The second would be for investment in crypto including conversion to altcoins, trading, and the like. The last would be using bitcoin as it is in stores and restaurants that accept bitcoin payment.

I'm building a program that will use bitcoins.
I wanted to buy pure alcohol on the silk road for disinfection purposes, but of all the drugs they have, they don't have that lol!
Just kidding, buy & hold people !!!

[josephinerosdy]

I hold bitcoin until get huge profit and for investment. sometimes sold that profit to fiat if I need urgent money

[SportsbookBettor]

At first i only used bitcoin for investing on bitcoin and other coins but then when i know i can used it to betting on sports. I always bet now on my favorite team whenever they have games. Bitcoin is very useful to me because i also can pay someone who sells good and accepts bitcoin as payment.

The miners mine and hold, other mine and sell.

Investors and speculators buy, hold and sell.

You can buy random items in auctions and through the forums.

What are the reasons for the bulk of the bitcoin transfers? I read an article underlying the "dark side" of the internet and TOR network, and they seem to point out that bitcoins are now nearly the exclusive currency for the online "black market" (Note, they are not saying bitcoins are exclusively used for black market transactions)

What have you used bitcoins for?

Miner
Investor
Black Market
Other - explain

Actually I don't have yet a money from bitcoin. Because I am a newbie here. But if I get a money I will give it to my mother and buy what we needs in our daily life. We will first the important things that we need. So that, we will become happy. And some of my money I will keep it on my wallet until it become big.
