We should have Bitcoins and Cash at this point in time. The world will not run with Bitcoin alone at this moment of time. Although we are going there, that point is still too far away. The world of commerce may have converted to cashless transactions gradually, but cash is still the one providing fuel to it. I am just happy that crypto especially Bitcoin is also growing along with this situation.

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.

These are some of the reasons why people are just drawn to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, these reason are just way better than what we have today, and that is why more people are investing on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies every day.

definitely can not say this today that Bitcoin can be used instead of cash. Such opportunities will not be able to use the majority of people on the planet, because this requires not only knowledge but also access to some opportunities. The fact is that cash will always be in use, while Bitcoin will be used as an investment or saving its income. As always Bitcoin is a currency for a certain community of people.

Very good points. I'd like to add:

5) Banks can't steal it from you. You may think they can't steal cash either; that's not true. With central banks printing money by the hundreds of billions, and commercial banks creating money as debt like there's no tomorrow, they're effectively lowering the relative worth of your money in their advantage. Remember: stealing 5% off your deposit, or increasing the total money supply by 5% by creating it out of thin air, has essentially the same effect.

Yes because in this type of currency the supply was pre determined by the developer. So no chance that supply will increase but demand will always increase.

But regarding this supply coming from thin air, is it the same as the Airdrops happening most of the time right now. where does those coins came from? Isn't it adding to the supply that was originally released by the developer. I know for a fact that it is way different from the ones that you can get from mining because from the start the un-mined coins was already included on the original released quantity.

Some of the successful people in the crypto world are young adults so it's just a matter of interest now a sense of urgency because
we are in charge of our future. If you will ask me what is the best investment, I will proudly say there is none other than bitcoin, I am young and I
can say I'm happy to put my interest with bitcoin.

Same with me too.I'd rather choose to have bitcoin than cash.I really believe that there are lot of chances to grow your money with bitcoin especially if you know how to manage it.Although bitcoin has always its fluctuation,still the price is irresistibly high compared to our own cash.It may sound risky but in the end,it will really give you a very good profit.

It's hard to choose only one, both are useful in our daily lives, we can use cash to buy things and to pay our expenses and all people are
accepting cash while bitcoin is not so popular. I have bitcoin as an investment and cash for convenience with transactions that does not require internet.

Because cash can be easily forfeited. There are many times that organized syndicated produced fake fiat that looks exactly like a dollar bill and it's very subtle to know if it is fake or not. While on the other  hand, btc cannot be faked.

I would have Bitcoin rather of Bitcoin simply because of the reality that the benefit of the Bitcoin can always go up which indicates that it is well worth much more. With funds you can pay at each and every store you want and that is not possible with Bitcoin.

That is right, we can not use Bitcoin for daily. Example I want to buy foods but how to use my Bitcoin to purchase? Yeah, in that time I need to use my FIAT instead of Bitcoin. And I also do not want to spend a lot of money to pay the transaction fees of Bitcoin.

Not only that we can't use bitcoin for our dialy lives, but also the ones who use bitcoin are a minority in the society and being part of the society makes us have to adapt so even if we wanted for bitcoin to be used instead of cash we can't at least not at this time, a lot of us use bitcoin either as an investment for later time when it actually becomes widely used by everyone or use it just to earn more cash because they only think about the present and not the future.

It is a great way to make cash. For I cant use it that rapidly. I want to money it out in a bank 1st ahead of I can get it. So laziness is the essential. As well lazy to withdraw it. So far better place my excess cash in bitcoin expenditure then let it acquire anything.

Have a bitcoin now more profitable than gold or anything, even in a week the price goes up more than 20% so our money goes high. although I mostly use cash for transactions every day, but bitcoin I think is better than cash.

For starters I don't think that plain old Fiat Currency is considered to be an investment in the first place. A fiat currency is more reliable if it has a stable value in the longer term so stable that only inflation can lower its buying power. Yes Bitcoin can act as an investment but behind that you will see that Bitcoin is too unstable to be used as a replacement for Fiat currency. You may one day buy less items because a decrease in value of your cryptocurrency.

There are numerous reasons due to which we can prefer Bitcoin over cash .First reason can be that it provides you with cheap and fast transactions .These transactions can be within a country or outside the country also .No tax is imposed as it is a decentralized online transactions system so government has no control over it.One of the other feature is the anonymity of the people involved in the transactions.Bitcoin is a more secure way of keeping our money as we can keep a check on our money through our mobile phones or laptops .Bitcoin is the most renowned digital currency of the present era and it's rising price is making it the finest investment plan that provide huge profits in a short period of time .

There are many reasons why bitcoin is better than cash. Firstly unlike cash bitcoin can not be stolen. Secondly it is a universal currency, so you don’t have to exchange the currency like in cash. Thirdly transactions are very easy and fast and can be done 24/7 unlike that of cash.

Bitcoin is the best type of currency as of now in terms of doing remittances because you can easily send bitcoin to other people without having any issue because you just need the bitcoin address, internet connection then you can easily transfer bitcoin to other people. Bitcoin is getting mainstream to the world because a lot of people are using it because of the security, speed of transaction and also because of the fee that is completely cheaper than the others.

Because bitcoin is an asset that have chances to grow in value, it is different from fiat money that are mainly control by the government and banks, cash is a much more stable asset to hold in your possession because there is government interference to make sure the currency value does not drop below a certain level.
