These guys have some interesting stuff going on here https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-vs-usd-for-storing-value-purposes/

Today, I would personally pick USD as it can be used world wide and for a variety of purposes. However, if BTC were to stop being JUST a speculative asset I would contemplate making the switch. I like being in control of my cash without having to depend on some greedy bank!

Thoughts?

You clearly have little understanding, It is 2019 It has stopped being a speculative currency long time ago. You ignorance shows by putting capitals for JUST. Bitcoin can be sued worldwide from day one.
I have bought things with bitcoin before so, so much for your bs about speculation.
I don't think bitcoin is for you. I think you should move on. Stick to your USD it suites you more.

The fact shows that the strength and stability of USD while bitcoin depends on many things as well as instability, but bitcoin brings convenience and speed. In my opinion, I think bitcoin still has a great potential. So i value higher bitcoin.

They're are completely different in all ways. With different uses and benefits. For wider usage and acceptance, USD as more countries use it to pair against their currency which makes it much more in demand and in circulation. And of course, legitimately. Bitcoin is not yet accepted worldwide even though lots of people are using it.

But for traders, when BTC is going down, convert to USD to stabilize your funds and once BTC picks up, buy back so you can enjoy some profits and be safe
right, both have opposite properties. and for now the USD is accepted in all countries, but not with bitcoin. but if we talk about the future, I think bitcoin is more flexible to deal with increasingly complex economic conditions

I think banks are only useful when you have a huge amount of money and you are not going to touch them for a few years because if you are average salaryman and then you are spending a lot of money because you make active transaction with them. So in conclusion, the banks favor the rich while poor workers getting robbed quietly with small fees. Thus makes me choose btc as the better replacement for fiat.

I would definitely think that for short term USD is far better , as it s the medium of transactions and can be used worldwide. And I can buy food with it straightway . As regarding long term I would always go for bitcoin as bitcoin's value as a investment option is far better and its value will rise. so which one is better ? I would chose USD for now

For daily activities involving money and consumption, USD and other fiat currency are really necessary, so shifting to all digital really will take time. Bitcoin for me is a store of value, indeed we are at the phase to change to be digitalized in the near future but at present, we should make some consideration.

Safe to say banks are on the brink of extinction.

Just like what you think and decide, the BTC is a kind of speculative asset and similar stock. If you do not want to profit, do not participate in hosting BTC. USD is widely used around the world and its value never changes. With BTC you can have profit or risk with it, or it is a means to exchange and convert to usd. For me, I love BTC

For now, maybe we can choose BTC for its decentralization, unlike USD that is being controlled by the government. If they oppose the bitcoin and do everything to diminish it then BTC is done for. USD for lifetime and BTC is for the hype today because it has a lot of profit we can make to it.

It is wiser to see the potential for more profitable investments. The USD is more stable and is tied to the Bank but Bitcoin is volatile.
It is very risky to hold a bitcoin because the Government does not interfere in controlling prices fully affected by demand.

Btc is my choice , though both have their advantages and disadvantage , but i still prefer btc to that of USD as USD inflation is unbearable but btc volatile can be recover in a short time and even surpass as it grow with fast paste.

USD will only be an option when btc enter its bear market just like in 2017 but as at the moment I think having it is more secure than USD.

Comparing 2 different currencies is pointless I think. These 2 currencies have benefits in different ways.

If you will see it in terms of usage, USD is more preferable to use compare to Bitcoin since there are not that much establishments right now that are accepting Bitcoin. Now if you are comparing it in terms of investment then definitely Bitcoin will be the one to pick because of its volatility compare to USD.

Comparing both BTC and USD is comparing apples and oranges. They're both distinctive from one another, with their unique use cases within the mainstream world. For some people, the USD will suffice since it's widely accepted worldwide because of its stability and longevity. But those people who are wary of their privacy and censorship-resistance, will definitely use Bitcoin on top of the USD. Of course, the USD may have a greater selection of merchants who accept it, but Bitcoin is getting there slowly but surely.

With the Lightning Network on track, Bitcoin could become used the same way as the USD is right now. Instant, and cheap transactions is what it's all about for our economy to prosper like never before. If Bitcoin successfully adopts the LN, then what's left is to solve price volatility in order to become as stable as any other traditional currency to date. Given the many benefits that BTC provides on top of the USD, many people will join it over the long term.

Still though, the USD will still be the winner here because of the aforementioned reasons. Which is why, neither BTC will overcome the USD or vice versa. We'll be dealing with various forms of money in the future whenever it's tangible or intangible. Therefore, I believe that both BTC and USD will part their separate ways for the foreseeable future. Just my thoughts Grin

I hate Banks and I do hate those who control them. For me it is always Bitcoin as I know it is not controlled or Governed  by few billionaires. Few more reason are - The value of FIAT cannot be controlled by the general public, the value of Bitcoin depends on General public/investors. Ten years from now value of Fiat might not change or change but, Bitcoin value will rise and more people will be using it.
I agree but the BITCOIN price is not as stable as USD

It seems this comparison is limp. It is so different in nature and origin. I'm sure most will choose bitcoin. Because blockchain is becoming a growing industry with outstanding power and widespread worldwide. in it, bitcoin is the king of the most influential and important market. compared to it, the dollar is really small with inherent senselessness.

Well here is my answer even though i think this comparison is very unreasonable, base on global acceptance both in terms of transactions and value i will be speaking in favor of usd, even though btc are being accepted in some stores the gap is still very wide to cover and it could take a while to see global adoption.

Its so obvious the one people will choose. I personally will prefer bitcoin to USD because bitcoin is the top leading cryptocurrency and has high potential which is widely used and accepted in this market. I know nothing about USD and I can't say much about it ether.

If you want a currency that is free from the control of government or bank and its value could go up anytime then you might prefer cryptocurrency instead of fiat. But cryptocurrency is more risky than the dollars and it is not so convenient for the majority of the masses because they need to have an internet connection first before they can use it for transaction. I prefer bitcoin but I also need the dollar.

For those who have never dealt with USD in their lives, they can save their money on their own fiat tho. Btw, both USD (fiat) and BTC have their own functions and we can use both simultaneously. BTC as investment while USD (fiat) as savings or for other needs in life.

Don't get me wrong, but in today's world USD and other "physical currencies" have a huge superiority. I'm a fan of cryptocurrencies, but we can't compare crypto to real money. It is a big difference right now, especially when governments don't want to accept cryptocurrencies officially. For example, remember the last words of Donald Trump against virtual money? The politician's opinions also have an influence on crytpcocurrencies' position in this world. An in reference to Donald Trump VS cryptocurrencies - I can leave here one nice article that I have found recently.
