The infographic shows the 10 most popular banknotes worldwide with its anti-counterfeiting security.
There are thousands of million dollars counterfeit circulating worldwide. Just in The US the FED said 7.3 We conclude that the total value of counterfeits in circulation at any moment is approximately $70 million or about one note in 10,000, and is highly unlikely to exceed
$200 million, or about 2.5 in 10,000.


it's costly for the society (more regulations, more resources to deter, individual or business accepting it accidentally >direct loss,...) Counterfeit money exists since the Ancient Rome at least, and it can destroy a government and its economy. Even the Nazis were counterfeiting the USD and GBP (Operation Bernhard) If only 1% of your circulating currency is fake your government is out. It can't borrow money anymore, business will stop to accept the currency, and since it's the only one, then the economy will be dead.

Do you know how many Bitcoin has ever been counterfeited since10 years? ZERO !


Regardless of what country you go to it is difficult to identify if you are holding a fake money or not. Thus makes Bitcoin a lot more user-friendly at this instance. To think that you still need internet to get it? makes it more tougher and difficult for other 3 world country like us.

In many ways, yes, it is a lot better: reliability, cost of transaction, etc., etc., but it becomes totally useless when you have to make an off-line payment in a country or a place with no or limited internet access. You can't even buy a bottle of water or a hamburger. Think about it. You can have a lot of BTC in your digital and hard wallets striding along the street in a foreign town and if they don't have internet, you're broke for them! Wink
There must be some way out of it...

Yes, lack of offline payments is a drawback, of course, but the number of advantages is more impressive than that. I believe people will most certainly come up with something. Sooner or later Wink

Because it is safer and more reliable than banknotes

Bitcoin is better than banknotes because bitcoin that has blockchain technology can record all transactions and still intact will not be lost or deleted. And bitcoin is more popular these days and bitcoin has easy ways to access and to transact, and since bitcoin itself are havingva faster transactions in terms of money exchange with a very low fees. And also, if we are just looking at this angle then we can tell that bitcoin is really better than banknotes but, if we look at accessibility such as the remote areas without electricity and internet access. On remote areas that had an shortage of sources in the third world countries then we can say that banknotes is better than bitcoin.

Bitcoin is better than bank notes because it is decentralized, which means that anybody can own it without the hassles of banks.

For me I can't say for now that Bitcoin is better than Banknotes. Banknotes can have much value when it got old or replace by new sets of Banknotes depends on the appearance and longetivity used (as Artifacts). Print value of Banknotes will remain its value for years or decades but Bitcoin value will depends on markets and demand.

For me, bitcoin and the rest of the crypto currency is better than banknotes because it can not be stolen from your home or pulled from your pocket.

maybe because the physical form and form of bitcoin is a file that is very simple and easy to carry. also very fast and makes it easy to do all online transactions. another case with paper currency that has many terms and regulations in making online transactions so that it can take a lot of time and cost when making transactions

Bitcoin is better than paper money because Bitcoin has the advantages that paper money can not get. First, Bitcoin always makes users feel comfortable with its convenience and privacy. Second, keeping Bitcoin safe is better than storing money in a purse, a safe, or a bank. Third, with Bitcoin, you can travel, work all over the world without having to prepare cash for your work. Bitcoin is really convenient.

Bitcoin really turn everything we know about obsolete paper money. It's unique, it's safe, and that's why I'm so attracted to this technology.

Maybe there's some truth to that.But bitcoin will not replace Fiat money.At least in the coming decades.No matter how good was not a crypto-currency,the bankers and the government will not pay attention to it.

Paper money is difficult to control and volatile. Bitcoin transparency is one factor that makes many people happy because you can look up every amount saved in the way your wallet is. Bitcoin is Cryptocurrency so it can use online payments quickly.

I like the idea of globality and the decentralization of the currency. This makes us independent of state manipulation and borders. Bitcoin is the currency of freedom.
