Here's
23 Reasons to buy Bitcoin
 (http://www.criticalcactus.com/reasons-to-buy-bitcoin/)

I stopped reading after seeing "1. The world’s easiest bank account to open"
Bitcoin protocol is not a banking system; Bitcoin wallets/addresses are not bank accounts...

i don't like the six point, in the altcoin scene ipo usually refer to a scam, i think it will be the same with bitcoin

those crowfunding option are never good imho

and anyway he is missing the only real benefit that people want to begin to use bitcoin on a massive scale, which is security, bitcoin isn't 100% reliable in that part

only the ninth point is addressing bitcoin properly,dont forget that it is an experiment and things are about to change as it gets more adapted.
it wont be that easy.
some points are just bullshit like 3rd, 4th and crowd-funding thing.

I would agree with this the other day I ran into one a IPO on here and they tried to grill me as I did not agree with it.  A lot of IPO's are horrible and made to make the owner money.

The one a few day's ago wanted to start a exchange, an altcoin, and a new solar panel build.  All wrapped up in one investment.  And was convinced this all was a great idea for them to let others invest in.   I saw big red flags.   Guess we will see in a week or two when they claimed launch if I was right on that one.

Thanks for sharing. For me as a newbie, most of the 10 points were new to me. But I am wondering why Bitcoin is compared to a bank in this article?  ???

Not able to agree. Bitcoin system is similar to banking.

because bitcoin and bank are competitor, there is nothing else you can compare it to, to point its benefit we must see what bitcoin has to offer versus a bank system

many of those points are already known nothing new on thi article really

But that's how some people treat bitcoin wallets , including me  :-\  or maybe bitcoin wallets were good alternative to bank accounts :D

Right, the 9th point seemed to be the only one that is completely into bitcoins. Other points I find not that related into bitcoins, such as the IPO thing. Anway, thanks for sharing this one. :)
