Seems like a fair analysis. I love all these images that you can show to people with a lot of information nicely condensed. Lets see if someone wants to counterargument or add some problems that bitcoin helps to solve.

you can add "the no need for conversion", in the case bitcoin will become big and replace fiat, it will be much easy to move money, because there will not be the need to convert money every time you move to another location

this is an important aspect that is understimated, it could help against countries diversity

This is good but I usually see skeptics asking this and they don't get convinced no matter what argument you make.

The most asked question I see from beginners is "How can I earn Bitcoins" ?
If you have any pictorials on that, it'd be great.

PS: I think it need more colors. It looks too simple.

I think bitcoin's main benefit is it avoids censorship. If Visa and Paypal refuse to work with you like they did with wikileaks/mega or any other sites they don't like the look of then bitcoin liberates you from that tyranny.

This is good but I usually see skeptics asking this and they don't get convinced no matter what argument you make.

More fool them if they miss out on the revolution. Maybe one day they will regret their decision.

Bitcoin solves every other problem which was meant to give the wealthy an advantages.

One of this is banks printing free money 'QE'

Of-course they will, like I am for not getting into Bitcoin really early like some of the early adopters did or my life today would be so different.

I agree, you've got to give it some life OP. Choose a color scheme from colorcombos.com, and then work with that.

Above all else, Bitcoin is poised to solve forever the problem of trust in money creation and exchange in a capitalist system.

That's the power of bitcoin :D I'm really sure in the future bitcoin will shine, but I don't think if bitcoin will replace fiat. But bitcoin will be smart alternative for payment system.

The most important problem it solved, was the "Byzantine Generals problem"  ;) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault_tolerance

Most people does not give it enough credit for doing that... It was explained a bit more here -->  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99631.0

For me personally.. it solved the problem of paying for services and goods online, without having to expose my private information or having it stored at a central point of failure, that can and will be hacked at every given opportunity. {PayPal / Credit cards etc.}  ;D ;D ;D

Bitcoin doesn't need anyone to trust the government and the fees for transfer are considered much lower than typical bank transfers. Many virtual items sellers has opted for Bitcoin as a payment option since it can't be charged back.

Agree, it needs a better flat design  with more colors and illustrations to make appealing for readers.

The only problem I see BTC to be solving must be allowing you to get/give anything for it with the lowest fees possible... :)
Still, your analysis is good and appreciated... :) Hope to actually see it turn out into reality...
