As everyone knows one of the major problems with Bitcoin economy is hoarding. The idea of this poll is to find out whether the lack of spending in the BTC economy is mainly due to the lack of acceptance of Bitcoin payments, or is it that people can actually buy a good deal of stuff that they need with BTC but choose not to.
its more lack of opportunity than people actively avoiding using btc. while it does pay to hold (not at the moment LOL). it would seem that the average sig camp participant comes from a depressed economy; you would think that money coming into a household in a situation like that would be used to pay some bills, or something else vital. anyone holding bitcoin that is earning it, has enough money to save. thats a vast minority of people nowadays no matter where you live. so attribute a weak economy to its true source, lack of liquidity (no merchants).
until merchants adopt, common folks dont really have to much of a reason to, as the main purpose of bitcoin is as a payment system, not a speculative store of value.
