Title: I can't wait for the day when...
Post by: GoWest on July 20, 2011, 03:09:55 AM
- I no longer have to carry cash or handle change

- I no longer have to wait hours to transfer money from one bank to another

- I no longer have to pay fees to transfer any amount of money to anyone, anywhere in the world

- I no longer have to pay fees to convert my money to another currency when traveling

- I no longer have to pay fees to buy something online

- I no longer have to pay a bank to hold onto my money for me

---

Can you think of anymore to add to this list?

Edit: I should say "substantial" fees, because obviously there are fees associated with Bitcoin.

Who would be willing to do the work if there are no fees?  Are you willing to work for free?  You do realize there are fees associated with Bitcoin right?

- My business no longer has to worry about fraudulent charge-backs.

- Businesses are no longer at the mercy of Visa/MC's oppressive rules, regulations, and fees.

You mean, the fees the bank charges me for lending my money out 10 times over?

Wait, they want ME to pay THEM for letting them make a profit from nothing?

Baaa-aaa-aaa where do I sign up?

I can't wait for the day when:

Governments can no longer fight wars paid for by inflating the currency.

In fact,  I hope bitcoin can bring an end to all wars since governments will have a hard time funding them at all if bitcoin becomes the default currency of the world.

I actually like carrying physical currency for the ability to purchase in a personal yet anonymous fashion. I'd just be much happier with it if it wasn't fiat toilet paper.
