How many people here actually USE BitCoin and not just as a instrument of investment hoping to 'make it rich'? BitCoin isn't actually USED anywhere, besides a very few sites. Am I wrong? Post at least 10 sites (besides BitCoinStore.com) where you can buy things with BitCoin...

There are about 55,000 transactions per day. Every transaction is somebody spending their bitcoins on something. Take a look at this chart: http://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions

That is patently false. Way back when, I could move my funds back and forth from two different wallets 55,000 times and not spend a satoshi on anything (ah, the days before mandatory transaction fees). Now it would get expensive, but I guarantee a sizeable chunk of those funds aren't being spent on services or products.

I would guess that a bit more than half the transactions I send are to myself, moving from one wallet to another, and that is not even counting the change I get back with almost every transaction I send.
