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.

Probably if everyone in everyday in everyday is starting to use this cryptocurrency and we can say that if having crypto living with your life may be required to afford good, or maybe it will be implemented to be used for your daily life, but as we can see this days the opposition of more and more countries with regards to anonymity and some other instances which may be questionable and a threat for a country's security may be one of the reasok why they will ban Bitcoin.

Already a large percentage of people have started using bitcoin.But still there is a long way to go for bitcoin because bitcoin is not supported by some nations and it is also banned in some countries.Bitcoin requires internet connection which is not possible in every corner of the world.It also requires some basic knowledge about how to get operated.It is also a bit complex initially.It also has a risk of getting hacked too.All these problems should be solved then only people will be comfortable in using bitcoin.
