Yes but the fees will eventually start to be more expensive after halving right?

What the fees cost is mostly depending on the free space in blocks. The competition is directly price vs available space, so to get a raise in fees collected, you need to see a raise in satoshi/kB bounty. To do that either you lower the available space or you raise the number of transactions fighting to get included in a block.

their are lot of reasons and clarifications about bitcoin is better then fiat, now when we know about bitcoin and it uses, we feel that fiat using is so costly, what it was told before is correct for gold and fiat it took so long time, they have been in existence from century so bitcoin will also take time to get implimented in real life. but their is a future where we can see bitcoin take over to all country currencies

it would not matter, they would still be very cheap(right now they are like 0.025 even if you do it x100, it would still be very affordable and anyway if i want to wait more and pay the saame old fee i can do it, that's the beauty of bitcoin complet freedom

I think its a bit funny bitcoin rates as durable as gold, hard to compare really and gold is not easily transactable so I cant just walk into a jewellers and pawn off the gold because it seems thats possible in most parts of the world. I dont quite get the logic that btc is easy because you just use an exchange but I wouldnt just do a similar trade with gold

Decentralized: No one can ever froze your money.
that is definitely one good reason but anonymity also comes into play and at the end I cant just live like a slave to the governments ... I don't like the controls...as in fiat's

Fees are not gonna be bigger.Transactions fees are based on amount of data transaction is carrying. The only way they will be 'more expensive' is situation when bitcoin price will rise up significantly. Other than that that nothing's gonna change.

Yes you can. People are doing this daily, shopping online with Fiat using credit cards, Paypal and other payment methods!

uhm? fiat isn't only cash, fiat is principally electronic nowaday, and right now it still seems that there is more security in fiat than bitcoin, otherwise one cannot explain why the adoption is so low for bitcoin security is one of the most important aspect, if you want bitcoin to grow

The most significant advantage is its free of entry: Anyone can just buy a miner and start to mine bitcoin, but you can't just buy a printer and start to print fiat money ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Similarly, those blockchains that are privately created by governments, banks or enterprises will not have the free of entry property, so they are far less attractive than bitcoin Free of entry also means that bitcoin will be continuously redistributed in future (in form of fee paid to future miners) to reduce the effect of early adopter wealth concentration, this is another superior property

There are associated costs - the miner will likely never/barely pay for itself meaning you are actually taking a loss or a very small profit which you could probably get in other investments. The reality is that Bitcoin isn't better at the moment - simply because there is less ability to use it in comparison to fiat. Sure you can convert it to fiat - but why bother have Bitcoin if you are just gonna convert it.

the best feature of bitcoin for me is decentralization. it is global and doesn't belong to any government so nobody can stop my money and i have total control.
on top of that bitcoin transactions offer the lowest transaction fees which is pretty awesome that i can send money practically free.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

In a smart world, we need smarter money than an ordinary money. Bitcoin is a digital format whereas fiats lacks in this basic features. There are lot of better benefits over fiat, people to choose the best.

As long as there is profit to be made, the cost will keep rising until it get close to price. The important thing is that anyone can participate in the production, not money producer can make money out of nothing, that will be a scam like fiat money

Imagine if McDonald or other fast food restaurant implement bitcoin as payment method as well , I can see the efficiency rather than using fiat. AFAIK my goverment still not legalize bitcoin so I think it will need more time before this can happen
Why would any government first need to legalize it, in order for a company or anyone to accept whatever the hell they want as a means of payment?

their are lot of factors where we can find bitcoin is better then fiat, for bitcoin we dont have to give any details about ourself, transaction charges are less and some exchanges give you free of charge transactions and high level security system, where ever we go we can get detail online.
