When will people spend BTC as easily as fiat , not seeing it as an investment opportunity but a better currency for them to use ? Most of my friends that I have currently told about Bitcoin are most intrigued by its rapid rate of growth and not its outstanding features as a currency. They don't really care that it is free from government control , but are more focused on the fact that it has risen xy%

I don't really spend much of my Bitcoin , because I am always in fear.
I am not talking about cashing out , but for digital goods.

How do you spend 10 mBTC on a 5$ digital good when you believe that the same 10mBTC is worth atleast 15$ , probably more.
How much of your Bitcoin have you hoarded , and how much have you really spent ?
I am under the impression that people tend to hoard more with BTC than with fiat , considering it an investment more than a currency

I don't know how to make a poll here , so :- http://strawpoll.me/1793917
This is not referring to your blockchain.info statistic , which includes money you have moved around. I am looking at money you have truly spent vs total amount of BTC you have received.

Overall , I'm trying to look at how much my guess is true by the poll and your estimates of when majority of people will start looking at BTC as a currency.

EDIT : I'm not sure this is the right section , tell me if this should go in General Discussion or so.

Knowing that bitcoin was already banned in some countries and many people now are thinking negatively over it, we can really say that it would take up a very long time before everyone gets comfortable with the use of it. Although it is hard, we should still be happy considering the fact that there's a possibility that all the people in the world will feel familiar and comfortable with the use of bitcoin.

People are comfortable using the Bitcoin as investment source as we know that the most relevant strategy is to buy in low market which is a type of benefit too in order to use less money for buying it and will be more in numbers. Those people who invest in low market are safe and they just need to wait with patience till high market which is the perfect way to end up your investment.
