Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Well, firstly, earn a ridiculous value increase. Secondly, I can sell bitcoin for a ridiculous fee. Thirdly, I can market physical BTC coins as if they were unicorns, and consequently earn a profit on them as if they were unicorns. Etc... |

If you hold bitcoins for around five years, the original price might double or triple or even be ten times the original, on the other hand if you hold dollars for 5 years the price won't increase enough to make you a profit like bitcoin does.

Well my answer is simple, I can convert them into dollars with much huge amount rather than converting dollars to my fiat currency in my country. And that really matters because the value that bitcoin offers is much more compared to dollars alone.

I think the best thing about bitcoin compared to dollars is that the big increase in value. Bitcoin can change it's value up to 2x in just a day. While dollar would even take a year to increase up to 10%. Bitcoin price is unpredictable and dollar depends on the economy. It's easier to transact with bitcoin and it's more secured. |

A lot of things... you can send them from your country to an other without intermediaries. you can also store all bitcoins that you want inside your brain... is enough to remember the 13 words of the Electrum seed... and without that no government, or authorities can have access to them. |

Well think of it as Bitcoin is like a Gold which is really different from the normal money. Gold and Bitcoins are almost the same because you can invest your money here and wait for the price to rise. The only difference is Bitcoin is a digital currency while Gold is not, that's why they are almost just the same. What i can do to Bitcoin that can't do to Dollars is that i can save them to any exchanges even in my own PC.

You can do everything with bitcoin that you do with dollar. The most big difference is if you hold bitcoin, you will have a rise in the value, and possible a big rise. Holding dollar won't do that, unless you compare it with other fiat currencies. A downside of bitcoin, is that you have to be sure not to sell bitcoin to the wrong guys, because then your funds might be considered fraud in the bank.

It's not necessarily about what you can't do with dollars, but what you can't do easily or without risk of lost/frozen funds. Bitcoin is about removing trust and intermediaries. For example, if you want to contribute to Wikileaks, Bitcoin is superior; they can have their PayPal account frozen at the request of the US government. Same goes for the Pirate Bay or lots of other groups/sites. Bitcoin (in theory) removes centralized authorities that can freeze money transfers (but it must remain decentralized for that to be true). At the end of the day, you can buy all the coffee (or whatever legal consumer goods) you want with dollars. Bitcoin doesn't add value there. Bitcoin is more about the payments that they say you can't make. |

There are lots of things which we can do with bitcoin but not with dollars or fiat. For example; - buying drugs online - hiring hitman online some positive ones; - buying hosting/domain name from the country where no any banks will issue world wide accepted debit cards - Paying anonymously online - You can store millions of dollar in bitcoin without getting noticed by your local authority so you don't have to show source of those fudns - You don't have to pay tax on earning you will make by trading bitcoin. |

Apart from the mentioned benefits of a trustless and secure system, Bitcoin transactions contain scripts that define how the funds can be withdrawn. This makes Bitcoin a smart system to which you can add fetures like multisig. You can't give dollars to 2 out of 3 people  You have to trust someone with a complete control of the fiat you gave them. |

You can divide Bitcoin into far smaller units for the time being, at least. Once Bitcoin can be divided into small fractions of a cent... something which cannot be done with physical money (obviously).

Hardly a very few things. Let me list em for ya:- Hide your corrupted / hard earned white money form the government. Get profit by doing nothing, since bitcoin is volatile. No bank in the middle of your transaction. No one can see how much money you have so people mind their own damn business. |

obviously different. Bitcoin is a digital money marketed only for the market, whereas the dollar is the international currency that is the benchmark for the world's currency.

You can trade it for most of the other currencies what is sometimes can be unavailable. For example if you can't add funds to the PayPal acc from your card because of some different rules or restrictions but you can trade BTC for PP from other users.
That is just an example.

The best thing I can do or bitcoin itself does to all of us which dollar or any other powerful fiat currency can't do is providing us the right to claim it as our own not a foreign currency etc, since bitcoin knows no boundaries and hence it's a universal currency so I can use it to pay people from any country. Also I can send payments in just a matter of few minutes with bitcoin and without any middleman which I can't do with dollar.
