The advantages of bitcoin

[santafewarrior1980]

Freedom of payment - any amount of money can be paid and received instantly and anywhere. No bank holidays, no borders, no imposition. Bitcoin allows its users to completely control their money.

Very low fees - there is no handling charge or very little handling fee for the current payment of bitcoin. The user can include the handling fee in the transaction to obtain processing priority and receive the transaction confirmation from the network faster. In addition, there are merchant processors that help merchants deal with transactions, convert bitcoin into legal tender daily and deposit funds directly into merchants' bank accounts. Because these services are based on bitcoins, they can provide a much lower fee than PayPal or credit card networks.

Reduce the risk of merchants - bitcoin transactions are safe, irrevocable, and do not contain customer sensitivity or personal information. This avoids the loss caused by fraud or fraudulent withdrawal, and there is no need to comply with PCI standards. In places where credit CARDS cannot be used or fraud rates are too high, businesses can easily expand new markets. The net result is lower costs, bigger markets, and less administrative costs.

Security and control - bitcoin users are completely in control of their transactions; Businesses cannot force fees that may or may not be found in other payment methods. Paying with bitcoin doesn't have to be tied to personal information in transactions, which provides great protection against identity theft. Bitcoin users can also protect their money by backing up and encrypting it.

Transparency and neutrality - all information about the money supply itself is stored in a block chain, and anyone can check and use it in real time. No individual or organization can control or manipulate the bitcoin protocol because it is password protected. This makes bitcoin's core believed to be completely neutral, transparent and predictable.

All these and we still lack many things. The bitcoin value is still unstable and we can not use it for routine purposes. I am not sure if you are thinking about this issue on broad sense but I think it is the reality now. Just imagine how many merchants are really their in the world who accepts the bitcoin payment processor right at front desk? You may say thousands of there but I think thousand is not the great number when we talk about the global acceptance of the bitcoin. It has to be far more than that, it must be legal tender everywhere which government doesn't allow yet. Not in the developed countries and neither in the developing countries. I am not saying all the negative stuff about the bitcoin but the thing is these are disadvantages of the bitcoin over the advantages that you have mentioned. We need lot of work to be done yet.

For me, I think that the benefits of bitcoin far outweigh the disadvantages. I can transact anytime, while other forms of banking like even NetBanking pose a time limit for transactions in our country. There is a lot of hassle going through all the formalities to encash cheques in our country, and bitcoin makes it easy for us. Transactions are also much more secure provided we follow certain security practices, and that keeps my mind in a state of peace:P
And yes, you are correct in some points, like bitcoin still has to be universalized, and not many can use bitcoin due to illiteracy, but we should go ahead and focus on the positive side of things.
As for paying for stuff, in UK, USA or China, bitcoin ATMs have been setup extensively, and a lot of small shops, stores and businesses accept BTC too. KFC Canada is also accepting BTC as payment, so adoption is increasing.

On top of all the advantages enumerated herein in this post, the greatest advantage of bitcoin is actually opening a worldwide economy with less interference from the different self interested governments. This is the start of a more connected world where people from different parts of the world and different backgrounds are able to easily connect economically with others. This will be a genuinely big thing in the near future.

Bitcoin transactions are completely anonymously and private. Unlike in payments through bank, where the transaction can be tracked and identified, Bitcoin transactions cannot be identified. a person can only know the addresses of bitcoin on which the payment has been sent and received. But to whom these addresses belong cannot be identified. it's like payment to a particular bank account can be tracked but to whom these accounts belong cannot be known. ( but if a person uses same bitcoin address for every transaction for a long period of time, there is possibility that the person can be tracked ).


Paying through bitcoins provide us the utmost freedom. Bitcoins can be sent to any person in any part of the world. no intermediaries in between. no bank holiday/strikes. no boundaries or orders. no payment limits.

The advantage of bitcoin, you dont need to work under the sun to make money, you dont have salestalk your customers to earn money, in bitcoin you just have to invest or post to earn money.

I like bitcoin because, it is very advantages to all transaction and very users friendly..like payments bills and other transaction and very low service fee. it is very fast and reliable. And interms of investment its very advantegeous because you can gain a lot of profits.  Unlike physical money its very complicated and risky to bring such big amount of money. And interms of investment in the bank it is very low interest you can gain less amount of profits.

The advantages that Bitcoin offers are already in other emerging alt coins. They even have better features in actuality. The only real advantage that Bitcoin has is its popularity since it is the first go-to coin for people who want to start with crypto.

I agree with you that Bitcoin attracts investors because it is the first digital currency. But its value is also an important factor that makes investors pay attention and invest in it. The high level of fluctuations that make investors more profitable is also an advantage for Bitcoin.

[Borisov]

I believe that bitcoin and the cryptocurrency as a whole, aimed at one thing - to get away from mediation. And so far, everything is just being formed, it is possible to earn good money. The first take everything, all the rest - everything else.

in fact, it can also be useful from multiple payment systems, such as making bitcoin into a platform. well, but the real advantage is at the price. the price is always showing a positive rise makes a lot of people want to invest in bitcoin.

the advantages of having or playing trading seem to be very much one example is can benefit from the increase and decrease in bitcoin prices not only that you can also buy anything you want by using bitcoin.

The commissions are practically independent of the amount transferred or from the location of the sending and receiving parties. Often transactions are free. The commission is only required for the formation of technically large transactions that load the network, or very small amounts, to avoid an attack on the network by spamming a huge number of meaningless transactions.
Also there is no any subscription fee, limits and other restrictions.

[yetography]

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.

[tilabial]

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.

[eadwina]

Due to the fact that Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, do not carry with them personal information, and are secure, merchants are protected from potential losses that might occur from fraud.
With Bitcoin, merchants are able to do business where crime rates and fraud rates may be high. This is because it is very hard to cheat or con anyone in Bitcoin due to the public ledger, otherwise known as the block chain.

When shopping, sometimes you may have a problem of trust, for example you will get paid for a service, the other party does not pay you when you do not trust. So when you make a transfer from one bank to another, you can say that I can not get to the bank and pay for it.
