You are right mate but aside from that, I honestly say that I am guilty as well to the fact that many people are taking advantage of the high price value of bitcoin and just invest and hold it regardless of reasons. Yes, bitcoin can really be a good alternative in the growing inflation rate and control of government towards fiat money but it is really a hard and good fight ahead for bitcoin to win the hearts and minds of the people to finally realize the downside of using fiat money and the upside of cryptocurrency.

The road of bitcoin in achieving it is very hard, long and winding but it is worth the ride if you are a believer.

Everybody has its own preference, But i dont think bitcoin can be preferred over fiat, except you have a lot of money that cant fit in a bank .

There are lot of reasons as to why people would prefer bitcoin rather than fiat currencies. Considering the limitations that possessed by fiat, bitcoin is more preferable because there are no limits as to the transactions. Bitcoin is more faster and accessible rather than fiat. But we cannot deny the fact that there are people who took advantage of bitcoin. We have no control over them as they have their own kind of handling bitcoin.

Although bitcoin is decentralized, bitcoin price changes. And for this time its value is increasing giving people who owned some, earned enough profit. It is more than just a currency but an investment also. Bitcoin is suitable in any kind of people. The only thing they need is knowledge about it and how to earn it. You can grow it in many ways like trading with other altcoin.

Considering the reason that Bitcoin is decentralized, you can purchase goods through Bitcoin without dictating its price. Also Bitcoin is accessible to all since your only need a secured wallet for it so that you can make transactions anonymously but keep in mind that you need to be connected online your to access your wallet. And take note its fast transactions are the best the tx fees are the down sides but there are some that dont have require tx or high tx fees.

holding fiat currency wont give you any profit or interest but bitcoins can afford you that opportunity to make interest on your money which would have been kept in fiat. Fiat can also be hit by inflation and your real value of your money will reduce.

Many people prefer bitcoin over fiat for several reasons. There are several advantages of bitcoin over fiat. Bitcoin is not controlled by the government so it's a better way of having profits. Some people may say that bitcoin is used for illegal and bad intentions. Bitcoin is not the problem but the abuse of the people. Anything good can be corrupted because of the people using it and not because of bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin take the more power than fiat because of its decentralized, fast, anonymous transactions. And you can consider its secure wallet that allows your wallet not accessible to anyone. And since government and bank cant manipulate its price, it doesn't have tax on it that makes it more beautiful.

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.

Because its unregulated so no one can control it and people prefer it like this, in addition Bitcoin is a lot more fast. if you want sending money off board you send it with in one hour top.

[RavenHood]

In my opinion, I Remember when I read some article Satoshi said that bitcoin is unmanageable by the government. I know bitcoin is made to create a new kind of currency that will benefit all person even the indigent person in an acceptable way. There some people take advantages bitcoin inappropriately, which is buying drug transaction and gambling.  We can’t avoid those kinds of people. This issue is the one reason why other country prohibition the bitcoin they know some people can do some crimes activities will be done with bitcoin.

A very accurate reason, and I believe that it is one of the explanation of each of the members, even I myself I do have the same opinion regarding on this matter. Bitcoin is a money in terms of digital while fiat is what we need in our daily life because this is the acceptable money in each of every country we are belonging.  We are dealing with bitcoin because we like to earn as much as what we earn in a regular job.

nope. I think satoshi did not make bitcoin for that bad use.

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.

yeah, actually it will make people who do not use bitcoin will think that bitcoin is for criminals. and I ever read someone made a thread who said that his father did not agree his job to earn bitcoin. it was reallt bad.

Bitcoin is for everyone indeed, we cannot change the fact that no matter how good the thing has been made there will be always people misusing it. Bitcoin is just same as fiat currencies where we can do what we want on how to use it. Its just that other people are making ways to make us use it in a wrong way for them to profit. Some make porn sites that accept bitcoin as payments, some sell drugs and illegal things and many more. But let us also consider the positive effect of bitcoin which is way much more than the negative.
