An innovation always makes people active for a long. In such a manner people who truly understand the potential and strength it has in all forms prefer bitcoin over fiat though the acceptance is quite low at the moment.
I look at the entire scenario of the comparison, in general I prefer to the most valuable to the majority because they decide what should remain or what should be eliminated.

Fiat has served us for years already and we have no problem using it as a currency, and if you compare that to bitcoin as currency, you can already tell who are the most trusted and the easy answer is fiat all the time.

Bitcoin can only give us a benefits in life if we are an investor because of the demand which we can prove what is happening recently. But this investment or asset that we are trusting as still in it's risky stage since the government has yet to determine on how to officially regulate it.

That is so true. If we invest, trade, and gamble online, that is the best time to use bitcoin. However, the rest will be on fiat money because big businesses always prefer fiat as their main mode of payment. s

No !!! he'll use it in a way that is not true, but don't worry!
It was only a few people choose to spend money on is entirely up to them and the business. paper currency and credit are used daily to buy porn, drugs and gambling,
Don't for all
I think only some people who prefer to use bitcoin than fiat dude. because actually many other users still rely using fiat
and use them to major currencies

The main reason why normal people prefer bitcoin over fiat currency is the ability of bitcoin to increase in price. As of now bitcoin continues to rise in value and it has attracted more and more people to save their money in bitcoins rather than bank. There is more profit in placing your money in bitcoins than leaving it on banks.

You forgot to mention that it can also make your money deplete if the value goes vice versa and I think it is still risky if you had no experience in the movement of bitcoin would be, yes it is greater that fiat in the term to save and invest of money but there are still a down side if you are not very careful in your every move regarding it!
Theres really a risk on everything and on bitcoin is not an exemption and as you said its price may deplete anytime and as an investor or user of bitcoin we should really be aware on the risk that attached to it and we just need to invest the money that we could afford to lose or risk/

Awareness sometimes doesn't help you in resisting in playing gambling because addiction is always there and a person may really never know if he is really addicted or not with gambling, even if a gambler is aware with the reality that gambling is risky if a gambler is addicted there is no choice from him but the will to stop in gambling, but if he can surely reform himself with addiction I think he can surely evade and can be affected with his awareness towards it.

More easy for transactions is my considering to use bitcoin over fiat money. Besides that, bitcoin also can use for long term investment, and I like gambling so, when gambling with bitcoin is more secure.

Through the time Bitcoin has been running, it has been attacked countless of times but still standing firm that proves that the security of your hard earned bitcoin would not just be hacked or vanish for it has establish a trust in the users and can't just be gone in a snap of your fingers because of the fact that it is decentralized so no one can really dictate they would just end Bitcoin.

I think not everyone thinks so. May be just a bitcoin user who says that bitcoin is better than fiat. The reason is simple. Because bitcoin is more profitable lol

People still prefer bitcoin over fiat because they see a lot of potential and possibilities in bitcoin and i think they earn more money in using bitcoin except in fiat that they earn but it is just a small amount everyday. If i will choose between those two then i would still choose fiat because bitcoin is not yet fully stable and anything worst can happen so i will play safe.

For me, especially when dealing online, I would prefer in bitcoin. It is safe,fast and reliable and anonymous too.Once it is sent, you can check on the blockchain and monitor its progress.Transacting bitcoin online is hassle free. Though there are lag reports this past days, but still its ok.

That is the best when we talk about online selling or buying some stuffs, you can easily send or received a bitcoin and you can monitor it but in real world only few are accepting bitcoin as payment and mostly they didnt recognize it so it is a little bit not worthy in real life so you should convert it in real fiat.

Bitcoin has a lot of features and because of that features people from every field are getting benefits from bitcoin so they prefer bitcoin over fiat. For example the gamblers do not need to show their identity so they use only bitcoin for their uses. Cheesy Cheesy

correct, when is comes to selling or buying stuffs online bitcoins have a better security over fiat has you do not need to provide a lot of information about your self,things like credit numbers are not required to complete a transaction and transactions will not be flagged pending scrutiny from the bank to authorize a transaction...bitcoin is simply hassle free and can be used any where any time without restrictions .

i think that bitcoin dont give a lot of information of user, so they will be safe from blackmailing
bitcoin go online of all transaction, so you dont need to go outside of your house
that bitcoin used world wide that everybody can use making it easier to send the money across the country
and last that bitcoin address is hard to penetrate by the hacker making you at ease
almost forgot that bitcoin is free from monthly administration fee Cheesy (except for transfer fee)

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.

Fiat, also, was not made to be used on porn sites, gambling, and drug dealing and yet fiat is also used in such manners. In relation to bitcoin, fiat and bitcoin were made to be used as a mode of payment. We cannot control how people will use their fiat/bitcoin. I would not say that it is a misuse of currency since bitcoin was used to pay porn site in order to view porn, used to bet in gambling, and payed bitcoin in exchange for drugs. They used bitcoin perfectly as a mode of payment. I say, it is unethical/immoral usage of bitcoin/fiat/currency since they used it illegally, immorally, and unethically.

Yes mate, There a wide range of feature the user of Bitcoin gets the benefits easily where Bitcoin is being used widely nor only many online sites also many public places in this world. I guess most people prefer bitcoin over fiat because It's tax free currency. There many other good reasons to use bitcoin.

I agree with you, many users prefer bitcoin than fiat. Because bitcoin has a unique distinction than fiat. That's what makes bitcoin interesting.

Many but not the majority of the worlds population, only few numbers of population knows about bitcoin so you can expect they will always use fiat as they see the convenience of using it. Bitcoin is created for online transaction and the reality is not a big number of people are into online, so that simply answer the question why people would prefer fiat.

I think some people prefer Bitcoin because of it's anonymity, whatever their purpose for purchasing bitcoin or whatever they will do with it, it's up to them. The thing is that it's the owners purpose on what you are going to do with it I just hope it's not illegal or something because that's what gives people to say that Bitcoin is bad.

I think this is very unreasonable, because by then the bitcoin transactions become easier and cheaper. We all know that in order to send money to a foreign country need cost more than $15 but with bitcoin need only $1.

In case of mistake You will lose all Your money, and the bank transfer is reversible in some cases.
