There were 9,064,548 Bitcoin transactions in the last 30 days [1]. There are many relatively large transactions that take place everyday.

Yes, people buy and sell Bitcoin. That has nothing to do with the idea that people are using Bitcoin to transact business, let alone that it’s becoming the standard way to do so.

Bitcoin transaction are so far only becoming the standard for people who want to gamble.
