Why have Bitcoin instead of cash?

[socks435]

Why not have both then ? Both are important, bitcoin, we use bitcoin at online and cash, we use cash on real life. Actually i prefer have cash instead of bitcoins.

The advantage of using bitcoins is you can exchange bitcoin anyware into fiat if you are far places outside in your country in case of emergency if you dont have money you can withdraw your bitcoins into fiat..

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 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.

Holding bitcoin is not always the best option especially if you invest 100% of your money (fiat) into bitcoin.
Having cash is more portable and more comfortable because you can spend where you want (not everywhere).
But I don't want to go 100% only on one, but using both of them and when we need is this what we want.

I have bitcoins instead of cash because i have earned bitcoins but could not earn cash as i'm a student and don't have that much time for doing a day job but i can earn bitcoin in my spare time.

The bitcoin is way safer, you can not lose it as cash and its also that you cannot get robbed easily for money on the streets.
Another nice thing is that if you have your phone with you, you can in the most cases access you wallet from it so that is another nice thing, you always got money with you than.

Reflects the opportunities due to bitcoins.

Really very nice to see people are having more opportunities to earn with bitcoin comparing to fiat opportunities. Similarly, a student could do more with online or whatever he is able to do with fiats, so there is no need to have cash.

This could be the future : earning in bitcoins and have it to spend in bitcoins.

It is a great gift for people who supports bitcoin, because we can receive a lot of benefits, like you mentioned students can earn bitcoin by working online and based on what I know they even earn more money than a regular employee receiving a minimum salary having a rank and file position in poor countries.

because bitcoin is designed as a digital currency. all kinds of things related to digital will never be seen. digital system built by komputerasi system. digital system has a speed and convenience.

Bitcoins instead of cash? I don't know, cash is better in this case, cause you can use it everywhere when bitcoin allows you online shopping only.

bitcoins are way better, cash is just for regular use while bitcoin could be used for both regular use and for investment purpose

I need it both where i can say that every time i earn bitcoin i always convert it into cash where we use it for daily activities are cash are using too to shop , or in grocery bitcoin for me is just second money where i can earn it for free and bitcoin soon will allow online to use as payment hoping that this will happen soon.

I'm not sure it's a good idea, for me personaly, cash is much better than bitcoins and i prefer to use cash, it's much more easy, and the main benefit is that cash can be used offline.

I prefer to follow the development of technology, do not have to carry cash everywhere.
but indeed as you say the cash has the advantage that can be used offline. but fiat money is also already include everything, digital payment in cash or by credit card, all readily available. bitcoin better for investment.

I have bitcoins instead of cash because i have earned bitcoins but could not earn cash as i'm a student and don't have that much time for doing a day job but i can earn bitcoin in my spare time.

i agree with you and i think nowadays maximum people have bitcoin in huge amount instead of cash and bitcoin is very good and too much helpful for student there is a lot student earning bitcoin free online tasks and trading.

I don't think you should try  having all in bitcoins and  nothing in fiat money.  Because you can't buy everything with btc, you also need cash, of course.

[PokemonFun]

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.

I think itis now not hard to buy things with bitcoin, you can search for online goods which are available with the payment system of bitcoin and you will find that there is everything available with bitcoin, and with bitcoin credit card, you can buy even in your local stores with bitcoin.

Not everything but there is a lot of items to choose now. Specially the important goods. With that problem still you will need to exchange it for cash to buy that certain item that is missing out there. There will be a time that almost everything will be there.

Exactly ,not everything can be bought by bitcoins even if bitcoins are almost accepted in almost all stores .fiat/cash is more important to handle than bitcoins .we need the cash cause the government will not allow almost things can be bought with bitcoin ,just because our system is on fiat/cash money which they use it to make every government monetary system . .
I think also that these bitcoin online stores they also exchange their earnings to cash to buy some needs in the market .
Bitcoin will not take over the cash that flows within the society unless there are bitcoin coins and paper money to sync in our system .

Yeah, bitcoin can be popular but it will never replace cash because cash is widely accepted regardless of your educational attainment in life, bitcoin is only for educated people who can understand computer and internet.

Cash, paper money or fiat whatever they call it, it will still be regularly used.
Money have been passed generation by generation and it is not easy to just make it disappear. Some may claim that it will be over soon, those people dont even consider the possibilities that it may ruin the economy all over the world.
Changing it needs a lot of thinking and people will get a hard time getting used to it.
