Zero. I dislike the idea of using bitcoin for currency speculation, though I look forward to using it for normal transactions sometime in the future when it stabilizes and when buying/selling them on demand becomes more streamlined.
Basically I am interested in "bitcoin, the cryptocurrency", not "bitcoin, the investment".
- bergie 13y agoThere are several bars and restaurants in my neighbourhood that accept BitCoin, so I'm happy to have some for day-by-day use. Especially as most places in Berlin don't accept cards
- jlgreco 13y agoThere are a few things I could use bitcoin for, but not enough for me to bother using bitcoin instead of other currencies right now. I hope that changes soon though.
- walden42 13y agoIn this early stage, the point is to support an idea you agree with and help it grow. It can't change "soon enough" without the initial users.
- plaguuuuuu 13y agoI don't think it will necessarily stabilize due to lack of any intrinsic value. The best future for Bitcoin is instantaneous on-demand conversion from other currencies.
