I do not use Bitcoin for drugs, pornography or any other, but I use it for 2 reasons. At first it's my money, and no one controls it. And secondly, it is also an investment (which is now going up)

The most ardent supporters of Bitcoin are revolutionaries. Some people hope that people will get up and choose Bitcoin instead of traditional banks.
For these revolutionaries to get what they want that people lose faith in banks and move to Bitcoin  the economy of our world should collapse. If this happens, people will lose their homes, work and, perhaps, life. There are very few active revolutionaries ready to make such sacrifices.

BITCOIN is tax-free, anonymous, and transparent. Moreover its price is rising day by day. So if you take $100 BTC from someone for some service it might inc to $125 in just a week. So it is also an investment with the mode of payment.

It seems like you confused the question. Question is not why people prefer bitcoin over cash. Whatever you count is valid for many cryptos. I guess answer is about risk taking. Alt coins has more risks at the moment. You can have 10X of your money or you can lose same amount. That would not happen bor btc.

The primary use of cryptocurrency is to have an easier and tax-free alternative to FIAT when it comes to transactions. Yes, many users might use it for services that might be considered illegal, but the is only because these are the most abundant at this time. If more services will start supporting cryptos as a method of payment, these other frowned upon domains will lose some of their popularity.

In my own experience I chose bitcoin because I can easily earn money. While in fiat it is really hard to increase your investment money but in bitcoin you can earn it anywhere as long as you know where you can earn it.

I agree. And use of cryptocurrency is far better than using paper money because you have the assurance that cryptocurrencies are real and have value. Also it offers a lot of convenience because every transaction requires only an internet connection and your phone

I find this to be more worthy than any other form of investment. In terms of risk it has got an level higher than that of the common investment plans. Another thing is that through online haven't come across a growing platform with such kind of legitimacy even when there are scammers around. Large scale scams take place, still functioning virtually with the maximum goodness make it best.

Bitcoin is a form of crypto currency so people prefer to use it on online transactions where there is internet means. In the world of technology it does not depend on tangible material like fiat. So no doubt that bitcoin prefers such transactions. But there's something pretty pertinent about bitcoin that has a future where people are looking for developments for them to invest and generate more for future goals. So as traders and investors choose to use bitcoin in transacting.
yes I agree with your opinion that is so good. In addition, Bitcoin continues to show an increase in bitcoin prices. All that will affect many people to hunt for bitcoin and want to get double the profit from the previous price.
I think people prefer bitcoin for "investment only issues dude. I do not see many users prefer bitcoin than fiat for their major currencies? so they use bitcoin to pay for their personal needs? because they know it will be difficult to implement and certainly there are still many other shortcomings on bitcoin. while using bitcoin for investment will benefit a lot for them. people choose bitcoin rather than fiat because investment here is profitable..

Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. Is that why the btc made for ? I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. Is not it a misuse of a currency ? Block chain tech is a awesome tech and btc is getting popular. I hate these misuses of precious btc. It hurts me. This will lead into unhealthy society along with unhealthy future generation.

i think based on transactions because fiat is better than bitcoins as it needs time for it to be confirm and would have to pay more for faster confirmations.But bitcoins are far superior than fiat in terms of investment and security.I would always prefer bitcoins over fiat as bitcoin's values will rise more in future because it's in limited number and are in demand in crpyto market.And value of fiat i don't think so increase easily.

People prefer bitcoin over fiat because bitcoin is a digital currency that is fast, secure, decentralized and acceptable worldwide. When you hold a bitcoin it adds more value over time unlike the fiat currency. when you save fiat currency in your bank account you can only get small interest while with bitcoin may even double your money in the same period.

Why Some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat? Bitcoin transactions are anonymous and there is no third party that can. As much as I know some people hope that people will get up and choose Bitcoin instead of traditional banks. Investing your money in bitcoin will help you to earn a huge amount of return on capital in just short period of time.

When compared with cash transactions, of course bitcoin many advantages, for example is a cheaper transaction costs, other than that cash transactions are limited to direct meetings while currently increasing online transactions that require bitcoin rather than cash.

I think it's because there are many opportunity on bitcoin and there are many jobs and we also can use bitcoin for anything at online like buy/sell something online, gambling, trading and transfer money using bitcoin. It's depend on the person though.

Let us focus on the good effects on why we prefer Bitcoin compared to fiat currencies. Most of the people prefer Bitcoin rather than fiat currency because it is cashless, careless and convenient to use. Examples are, using Bitcoin, we are given privileges to send money to our loved ones specially when they are far away from us. We can also receive money through Bitcoin as long as the sender have his or her own Bitcoin wallet to be able to send Bitcoin to others. It also offers lower transaction fee and the money can be transacted faster than waiting for long queues and requiring you to go first physically to remittance center for you to send and receive money. We can also pay our water, electric, and other bills using bitcoin. With just one click, you already paid your bill faster and on time. Bitcoin also lets us earn money through investments, trading, exchanges or even here in the forum. When you bring fiat currency, it is bulky to drag and bring everywhere. Unlike Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we can just bring our phones for us to be able to pay and purchase products.

I strongly agree on your opinion and believe that, Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. And I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. And adding also my opinion that, Some people prefer bitcoin over fiat because on some places bitcoin is tax free. I guess it's not bad to use bitcoin for something as long as you're not breaking any law/rules from your place. There's much more misuses of btc but if we continue this discussion it's getting kinda off topic when the title is about bitcoin and fiat. In addition, There can be certain restrictions that only bitcoin can bypass.

Simple because bitcoin is flexible and very convenient you can use it anywhere & everywhere , you can use it by paying online such as paying bills , buying prepaid load , online shopping , you can use it for gambling , for investment sites  , it is better than fiat it increase rapidly you can keep it safe online just more security measured has to be implemented , fiat can be stolen , there are also fake paper money , once you have a money on hand it can be spend easily but once you have it online you won't spend it easily so its like that you are saving money online . I as a user happy and contented that bitcoin are really awesome i can use it t home no nee to go out just to pay for the things i needed . I can also send money anywhere with bitcoin and that how strong bitcoin is .

For me, why people prefer bitcoin over fiat because over fiat you have the ability to do anything you want or something you want to buy. Otherwise they want to over fiat take it to the wrong work but in drug, gambling, enjoying porn and more.If I prefer too fiat to bitcoin but I'll take it right and make it a bigger cup especially for my future and my family.

I guess that's just some stupid little folks, for throwing their bitcoin for something that is very useless.
For the most part it uses for very useful things like paying utility bills or cars and motorcycles, even the smart ones invest them to make a profit.
Let the ignorant waste his bitcoin, but not us because bitcoin can be used for positive things.

because with bitcoin you'll get yourself stay anonymous or when you do some transaction to other people you'll never now the identity of the person you transfer into and they didn't know about you either, they can't track you from your transaction either. because of that i think people prefer bitcoin over fiat.
