Cash or the fiat issued by various governments is to extract money from poor people who do not have assets. So bitcoin is much better.

I use bitcoin to convert to cash. Well, I prefer bitcoin because the price is rising and can be converted to more cash in the future. And also, it is more convenient to use bitcoin because you can directly pay some store with the use of bitcoin online.

Online yes. Convenience in it not yet I think. There are still some points missing. There are thing that should be considered. It must be used frequently also to gain it popularity and more movement means price fluctuations also concludes to profit for us.

Where can I put my cash? Banks. I hate banks, they can control my money, also government has right to shut down or freeze my bank account or money, so why should I trust banks or governments? I have Bitcoin that I have full control over it. Privacy is the most important thing in this era, I wouldn't tell how much money I have. Bitcoin gives me this freedom, that's why Bitcoin is over cash.
Bitcoin wallets have some limitations and risks but I agree that there is not any big brother to control like what banks control.
But that limitations and risks are not dangerous like that of banks, the limitations of bitcoin wallet are much less smooth and tolerant, we often do not feel that limitations while dealing in biotin.
As you know you see that there are now more people that is using Bitcoin as their payment method and that is because it works easily and that is nice for the currency.
And it is also safer on the street because you cant be robbed if you are using Bitcoin.

That's why people uses cash and not the bitcoin because there are several things you can't always buy
just with the coin. You can buy everything with cash that's for sure. In the future there will be a point
that we can buy anything with coins even in stores.

Bitcoins is easy to use, it lets you keep track easily of your disbursements and receipts as it can be seen in the public ledger, it also gives us the opportunity to invest while using it and might profit in the future if we were able to manage our bitcoins.

I agree because most people know about bitcoin and knew the use of it will prefer to use bitcoin rather than any processors or cash because they can lessen the transaction fee made by every transaction they want to do, and in bitcoin they can possibly earn big money for investing rather than cash thats why bitcoin users are lucky to know bitcoin because theirs many oppurtunity they can get for it, but for people who dont know nor dont have proper education about it might rather than use cash to avoid them to lose money for something they dont know what they are joining.

Bitcoin is good because it is hard to steal, with bitcoins you are not under the monitoring of the government as you can hide your true financial status. With this, I find it a good benefits of being a bitcoin holder, that is just one, how about the interest you earn by just holding it as it is slowly increasing so you bitcoins will also increase in value.

One point that you hit on is that fiat can go down in value because of inflation.  Bitcoin is not just an investment, but it is a deflationary coin.  There is a limited number of bitcoins which should make the value go up instead of down like fiat.

Another reason to have bitcoin is that it is independent of any government.  You could say that government regulate it, but other than that, it is out of their control.

Probably one of the things I like most about bitcoin is that we don't need the banks for us to store it or use it.

Some people like to have Bitcoin instead of cash because with Bitcoin the value can always go up which can lead to more money for the holder. But there is also a chance that the price is going to go down so always keep check of the price when you are holding.

Bitcoin will be the future money and you also can see that Bitcoin is becoming more acceptable and a higher value so that is really important.
But the bad thing is that nobody will know what will happen and that is the problem.

I recently paid for some local tacos using Bitcoin. My friend who was unfamilar with Bitcoin thought it was strange, like I technically didn't pay for them or something. We got into discussing Bitcoin and one of the questions he asked me was:
"Why would you want Bitcoins instead of cash?". For a second I didn't know what to say; then I thought about it and here is what I came up with. Feel free to contribute to this.

1) More security (especially if you are careful).

2) Bitcoins are a potential investment, cash is not. Paper currency only really goes down in value, Bitcoins have a lot of potential to be worth more as time goes on.

3) Fast, worldwide transactions at your fingertips.

4) Similar to #3, but it's a universal currency. It's legal in most countries of the world and you don't need any kind of currency conversion to send money to people in a different country than your own.
Its not that you dont need to use cash if you have bitcoins you can use both off course. But it depends about what you want to buy you can buy almost everything with cash. But you cant with coins so take the right choice what you want to buy and with cash or coins.

You are right about that, I think its better to have bitcoins on you than real money, also the fact is that you can do the transaction easily and without any problems that you have to exchange and have something back from an a mount.

With bitcoins use in our daily transactions it gives us a lot of benefits than the usual banking system can. As you can see in the blockchain, transactions are transparent that can be viewed by both transacting party, we can assure that the terms were met prior to completion of the transaction. Further, with the low cost transaction, which only charge us with a minimal fee or even close to none, this is already a bonus that we can enjoy using bitcoins.

Besides, Bitcoin is an invisible gold and do not be restricted by the customs.
With cash you can use it at far more places then Bitcoin but With Bitcoin the value can go up which can lead to more money. So because of that Bitcoin is why some people choose Bitcoin over cash.

For now its an instant cash as the price is steadily increases but in the future when it will become more stable and small price fluctuations will happen, we can see then the real value of bitcoins, one thing I can guarantee its good in using online transactions.

Besides, Bitcoin is an invisible gold and do not be restricted by the customs.
With cash you can use it at far more places then Bitcoin but With Bitcoin the value can go up which can lead to more money. So because of that Bitcoin is why some people choose Bitcoin over cash.

For now its an instant cash as the price is steadily increases but in the future when it will become more stable and small price fluctuations will happen, we can see then the real value of bitcoins, one thing I can guarantee its good in using online transactions.


You can see now that there will be more people that is using Bitcoin as their payment method and more than cash and that is because they also can feel safer on the street because they cant be robbed also and that is nice.
Bitcoin is online money and you also know that the world is becoming more digital so that would be perfect for the currency if it will be more used later.
