I use it as a long term hedge. What you use it for is really up to you.

I tried using bitcoin as cash for a week 2 years ago and it was a little inconvenient outside of online purchase. I used gyft to spend it in retail stores but pulling out a credit card was faster plus I get "rewards". If you were a business and you can supply your business and pay your employees with bitcoin then it can be convenient but thats not me.

I do both with mine. I own x amount of bitcoin, and I spend from it freely. But any time I spend from it, I but the exact same amount I just spent on an exchange. Doing this, my total bitcoin will never go down.
