Maybe we can trade bitcoin - gold , Bitcoin -silver?
If we just leve dollar behind.


I prefer cash. Because Bitcoin can get lost as fact. There are chances of Bitcoin that I can be hacked and I do not want.
Cash can I keep myself and I'm sure it is safe.

Indeed cash is real and you can do everything with it.
With bitcoins you can not buy anything.
And its true it can be hacked that should be very bad.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Its the future pay method.
The second reason is that its very nice to have.
The bitcoin will rise to a high amount, I don't see cash do that.

Exactly!
The price of bitcoin is really good when it is moving higher.
Cash doesn't do that because the price of the cash is just static and it will not change.

Even though you cant buy everything with bitcoin there are services that do.

So as for the hack comment, the odds of that are very low. Unless you got some serious malware problems.

Services like snapcard, gyft - allow for everyday use.

Bitcoin is a digital centralized currency , the transaction charges are less comparing to Cash, bitcoins transactions are fast and you dont have to declare you details. Bitcoin is just like gold, any thing can happen in future of bitcoin in regards of Price, it may boom like gold.

Yes decentralization is great and unique feature for bitcoin which gives freedom and security to our money. But we also have to thank bitcoin for worldwide acceptance and lower fee on every transaction.

Not sure with the Decentralization as it seems it is centralized in China. But what I love the most is how you can transfer it to anyone regardless of where they are.

Because the world is becoming more digital and include modern. But I guess some people do have cash rather because they think it is not so reliable.
Namely they find cash much finer safe there I think.

Bitcoin as an alternative makes our job easier comparing to other transaction process. It is possible to send money to someone far apart from you just within minutes, all you need is a internet connection and bitcoin address. No need of Bank name, account holders name, account number, bank code,..etc

Its easy,fast and secured plus its also can not be stolen in real.
Also its untraceable and you can control it by yourself, you don't have to go to a atm anymore.

I think its much better than real cash.

True and really right. It cannot be stolen easily. Here in our country a lot of people steal then run. One example is when your smartphone and wallet is stolen. They will get the money from your wallet but not your bitcoin wallet. They have your phone with your app wallet there but they cant open it easily and they wont let it stay that way and format it or they could be traced. So you are still the only one who can access your wallet ID.

Albeit there are some risk with BTC, one of which would be is its unstable value. Very true how you guys just said it. Bitcoin really helps making things more convenient, especially online.

People find Bitcoin I think safer.

The only thing is that they can be hacked for the rest it is safe.

People feel like you have cash on you that you can be robbed.

Again, you can't really get hacked unless your computer get infected by a key logger. But then you could get your bank account hacked too so...

The main interest of btc is that it doesn't rely on arbitrary notation of agencies to keep its value.... The value of bitcoin is decided only based on its use and adoption!

Not that there is no risk of course... But it all depends on your trust in the system! And btc is out of it so it's rather a good choice if you fear the system might explodes!

Well from what I've understood BTC is safer than the systems used by banks, so if not for anything else this would be a good reason to use BTC.

1. Government-proof (You are your own bank, the bank cannot keep you from your own money, but something like keeping your funds safe is harder to accomplish)
2. Promising community and idea
3. No chargebacks Smiley

Really good points. I'd add that you don't have any restriction considering the amount you can pay, because in some countries, you can't pay more than 1000€ in cash.

Exactly! I would add to be honest the possibility of having something that in a few years will become one of the best investments ever-made.
Nothing out there is somewhere near the possibility of growth that BTC has now.
