advantages of bitcoin

[Bigdan]

Bitcoin has many advantages but I will list a few ;

Freedom in Payment- it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time. You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money. You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network.

Control and Security- Allowing users to be in control of their transactions help keep Bitcoin safe for the network. Merchants cannot charge extra fees on anything without being noticed. They must talk with the consumer before adding any charges. Payments in Bitcoin can be made and finalized without one’s personal information being tied to the transactions. Due to the fact that personal information is kept hidden from prying eyes, Bitcoin protects against identity theft. Bitcoin can be backed up and encrypted to ensure the safety of your money.

Information is Transparent- With the block chain, all finalized transactions are available for everyone to see, however personal information is hidden. Your public address is what is visible; however, your personal information is not tied to this. Anyone at anytime can verify transactions in the Bitcoin block chain. Bitcoin protocol cannot be manipulated by any person, organization, or government. This is due to Bitcoin being cryptographically secure.

Very Low Fees- Currently there are either no fees, or very low fees within Bitcoin payments. With transactions, users might include fees in order to process the transactions faster. The higher the fee, the more priority it gets within the network and the quicker it gets processed. Digital Currency exchanges help merchant process transactions by converting bitcoins into fiat currency. These services generally have lower fees than credit cards and PayPal.

It seems that your last point of very low fees is no longer as good as it has been before. With prices touching $900 per coin and the tendency of further rising, they may become quite burdensome in dollars unless you are using an online wallet like Xapo or Coinbase, which pay the fees for you. And it is not given that they won't start charging the transaction fees if the price continues to rise.

I agree with this list since these are the advantages over it. You can monitor transactions over the block chain also. It's safe to transact with bitcoin.

I found that one of the most important advantages is the tamper-proof, which is critical in the financial system. People can not alter the data already exist, thus avoid many sorts of fraud in today's financial systems.

First of all we do not need have bank account. Not all people are owning bank account, aren't they? Especialy student and people of remote village. Bitcoin transfer is better than bank, so there is no different bank transfer money that not practicaly, really costly and need a long time to complete it. Also no maximum or minimum transfer amount. I think still the most important thing of bitcoin is the lower fee than bank.

[huahuaea]

Without the trust middleman, can conveniently carry on the remittance on the internet.  Third parties cannot control or block your transaction.Trading is almost free

[webtricks]

1. You can transfer funds around the globe at lowest fees. Much lower than Western Union, etc.
2. Minimal formalities, can use in your business without anyone's permission.
3. Rates are determined by forces of market-supply. No government can control prices of Bitcoin, unlike forex, etc. Thus, Bitcoin is completely decentralised.
And many more....

I think for the moment we still need fiat, because bitcoin not be relied upon to perform transactions offline, for security issues I admit bitcoin have good security for your money and your identity

First of all, we do need to have a bank account. Maybe right now, you don't need one because you can always sell your coins to someone personally and get the cash handed to you, but eventually you're going to be tired of doing that and choose to get a bank account. Exchange websites require you to have a bank account to get your bitcoins converted into fiat. Actually, even if you don't open a bank account for bitcoins right now, once you get a day job, you'll be forced to open one. That's just how the world works, we're basically forced to open a bank account to avail services and to get paid for our job.

   I need to have bank account cause my company send my paycheck there, they will not give me any money if I dont have account in specific bank. Like choppork said I'm forced to have bank account, and one day when I sell bitcoins I have I'll use that account. Not just me, all people are forced, they are earning on us and that is how they control us. With bitcoins is different, its matter of free choice.

Paper money is really bad, the value is decrease. I agree that we dont need bank anymore, if we transfer money by bank the fee is higher than transfer bitcoin. Also bank transfer is need long time and not practicaly.

It is quite agreeable that bitcoin has a huge number of advantages. One of such advantages that is clear to me is its flutuating nature that allows any skillful trader to leverage on. Another is its eletronic form which removes it from the damage and theft that physical cash is liable to
