Why is Bitcoin better that fiat?

[xuan87]

bitcoin is better because it is globally accepted, eventhough for now some of stores still haven't implemented bitcoin system yet, but i am sure one day all of the stores will accept bitcoin as payment

if that case happen its mean the value of bitcoin will raise, its making bitcoin a good investment for future

"Why is email better than physical mail?" that is how it is

Today bitcoin needs fiat to even exist. As stated before people can only pay most of their bills with fiat or a bank account.

Honestly, I dont think this will change the coming years. So although bitcoin is better in many ways (speed, decentralization, anonimity), there is still a long way to go.

Just take 2000 years back money was not exist in the world. How its occupied its place as like that bitcoin also will occupy its own place. As you said bitcoin 10 times better than fiat currencies in transaction as well as in price.

the more stores that accept bitcoin, the higher the adoption will be. bitcoin is already a great investment, but it will get even better when institutional investors step in. that would be huge.

That is true but the best advantage of bitcoin is that you can carry as much bitcoins possible in your digital wallet and no one would be aware about it, and in fiat if you carry more you have fear of loosing or getting stolen and that is not the case with bitcoins even if you are travelling overseas fiat has limitations but bitcoins doesn't.

Fiat is good for daily real life transaction.
When it comes to online payments, bitcoin is the answer & solution to all of our problems.
Fast, anonymous and cost-efficiënt.

[Bitcoinbro]

Bitcoin is hot and happening.
No dirty bilss, no chance of fake 'bitcons'

All of those problems belong to the past now. Bitcoin is the future, plain and simple.

[HarryKPeters]

For me bitcoin is better because of the speed and the cost.
The anonymous part is handy, but not mandatory.

Having bitcoin makes life so much easier

"Why is Bitcoin better that fiat?"  This is a loaded question!  Why is communism better than capitalism?  Why is alcoholism better than sobriety?  The truth of the matter at the moment is that fiat is far superior to bitcoin in regards to purchasing power; it enjoys greater acceptability and has a more fluid distribution.  Now, that's not to say that bitcoin does not have the potential to be a greater currency.  And, one day bitcoin may be superior to fiat, but for the time being, fiat is king!

It is better than anything only when it's utilized.

[hexitor]

Because fiat is the shittiest currency of all times

Very well said mate, Fiat can is useful to take care of your basic needs and also depends on in which country you are living as many of them are not aware about the bitcoins so accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment in that country would be something out of the reach, and when it comes to online purchases or online transfers I believe that bitcoin is the best as compared to paypal or western union.

There are many reasons why Bitcoin is better than most things as I'm sure people will be able to tell. Bitcoin has revolutionized the way we think about money.

Bitcoin is truly revolutionary indeed!   It has changed the way many think about money.  It has the potential to change the world but is bitcoin better than fiat in its current state?  I would say not at this point.  It is up to the community to insure that this great exploratory experiment evolves to that state which maximizes its potential.  It's not there yet however.  Fiat still rules the world.

Yes, there are many reasons, but I feel not regulated by the Government while the fiat is regulated and we need to pay heavy taxes for each and every penny is the prime reason.
Bitcoins are a currency that anyone can own irrespective of their age, education and experience and if we compare the price stability and fluctuations, it is possible to double the money in just few months while in the case of fiat, we can only earn interest which is just 5-10% of it via banks.

Fiat doesn't let you be responsable of your own moeny which means it has a lot of implicit tradeoffs. With Bitcoin for the first time in human history you can be your own bank. This is just too big to deal with for some people, they just don't get what this really means.

[adicted]

Simply because bitcoin is decentralised and very convenient to use. The very low fees whenever sending bitcoins also made it better than fiat, especially when sending money overseas. And as a person that value my privacy, its "anonymous" feature is a big factor.
