Thats not fair mate. Now only its getting spread over the world little by little and slowly few online stores accepting bitcoins. Bitcoin is not cheap the transaction fee taken is less compared to transactions done through other transaction networks. Soon there are possibilities of shops that accept bitcoins in every country

Do you see the price of the US dollar rising? Well I don't. The price of Bitcoin is rising and it is a really good investment.

no at best it become stronger against other currency, which mean that other currency will be weaker against the dollar, for example there was no dollar rising recentlly, it's just that the euro dropped

I would prefer to use cash too, as I want to hold my bitcoins for future, and I think spending at a moment for basic things will not serve the purpose, I generally use cash to buy basic things and the reason there are not many shops that accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment, and spending bitcoins gives me a feeling that I am spending my investments, so its better to keep bitcoins safe in digital wallet for future.

Because I can, though I never would nor have the capability (don't have enough satoshi for 1 btc yet), carry around an infinite amount of bitcoin in my back pocket with a paper wallet and no one would be the wiser.

Why do we have to choose between one or the other? I prefer to have them both. Even though I am not able to use bitcoin in every store, I use cash for that.
Bitcoin is a nice currency to have next to the cash you use on a daily basis.

Being on disability payment from the government, I don't have to report this right away as the gov can't trace BTC yet on the side w/o the bullshit that can happen before I can

make enough to stand independently of the government payments. Now if I was doing this with FIAT, I may have to report it when I had 100 to 150 CAD in funds. At that point, I would

have to liv off of any excess that was there.

Supermoney is a great book from the early 1970s by the pseudonymous "Adam Smith".
http://glenbradford.com/files/Stocks/Adam%20Smith%20-%20Supermoney.pdf

In the book, Smith describes stocks as a type of super-currency that has more value than simply the market price of the assets.  To Smith, it is the true currency of the economic elite.

Holders could trade on margin- an instantaneous loan with no loan agreements or credit check.  Dividends get favorable tax treatment in the US and stock buybacks effectively are a tax-free transfer of capital from the corporate entity to investors.

BTC has many characteristics of Supermoney.  Although tax treatment in not preferential as it is with stocks, there is the advantage of privacy.  One can easily move large amounts of value across borders instantaneously, with no need to smuggle diamonds or gold in one's luggage.

Do you use a bitcoin credit card that makes this possible or do you really only buy in shops that allow you to pay in bitcoin directly? I imagine that being pretty hard and only very few places on earth should allow the latter.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

Exactly, in my country I haven't seen a single shop that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment, so using it for purchasing any physical goods is really difficult for me, So I need to take support from fiat to buy any product from physical shop. And if he is buying everything with bitcoins then he is really a lucky guy.

Now with bitcoin debit cards, you have full control on your bitcoins. With BTM machine, you are accessable to bitcoin and cash, any time you can convert cash into bitcoin or vice versa. Now, it does not matter cash or bitcoins. Both are equivalent.

Paper cash is more trustworthy, At least for me. You can get in an emergency and paper cash will help you out.
Bitcoin bring you anywhere in an emergency.

Cash seems to be a commodity that can be stealed from one and used, but when it comes to bitcoin its purely technology based which has got high secure features, and can't be hacked or stolen for use that easily like cash

I have them both. But I find cash more fun in my hand, even though it is less than Bitcoins.
Bitcoins is obviously worth much now, but I prefer cash because that I find enjoyable and nobody can take that away from me.

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.

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.
