99% of the time that's what I hear from 'average' people:
"Why should I use Bitcoin when I have a credit card and Paypal? Bitcoin is a solution without a problem ... "
I think Bitcoin will catch fire first in the developing countries, especially Africa, where people have few access to banking services and where remittances from family members living outside Africa are so critical. Neither Western Union nor wire transfer is the best service for family members in 1st world countries to send money to third world countries ...

Bitcoin will catch fire on the opposite side buddy, there is nothing more shiny for rich people than to buy what they dont need because someone else needs it more. btw i also have paypal for years, but for some reason my country isnt allowed to keep the funds there, theyre sent out to binded bank account every 1st of the month, add paypal fees to the formula, and thats whyi dont like or use paypal anymore. I need store of value somewhere where i dont need to explain why and how much, and bitcoin is perfect. cheers |

Bitcoin is the separation of Money and State and the end of the fractional reserve banking system.
It does also underlie the greatest mechanism for digital assets ownership that humanity as ever seen.
Bitcoin doesn't allow for manipulative monetary policies that aim at perpetuating the State at the cost of productive people, with inflation.
Bitcoin, or something very similar, will be the money used by machines in the second age of them.
That is why bitcoin is poised to change the world.

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

There's a surprising number of people in first world countries who can't get or don't have a bank account. That cuts them off from a huge amount of possibilities.

Thousands have experienced problems with Paypal and credit cards! There are problems. , Bitcoin has a very bright future. It honestly boggles my mind that they have grown to where they are now. Bitcoin has a ton of applications. It doesn't necessarily have to solve a problem. Just make life easier. |

Bitcoin is the solution to fiat, the solution to the problem of trust regarding money in a capitalist system. You can't trust anyone in a capitalist system, so bitcoin removes trust from the equation with mathematics. One of the best virtues of using observable public math to solve the trust problem is that the old solution, the nation state's solution, is constant systematic theft, and violence whenever deemed necessary. Bitcoin carries within it the seed of a much more transparent and less violent world, a world which we may be fortunate enough to see manifest before our eyes in the very near future. |

Yes, they have high fees but they run a top notch service excluding some questionable account freezing. |

Credit cards where never meant for the internet. You need a push system, not a pull system. Like bitcoin.

I think the good side certainly outweighes all the negative aspect. Yeah you can say it introduces problems of its own but look at the advantages it bring overall. I think the best part is on the low cost money remittance which not only fast but is able to transfer almost to anywhere. And you don't have accounting freezing problem like paypal

Well the average obviously don't see the problem. They are even fine with NSA.
Unfortunately people have become like that.

Well acctually "Bitcoin is a solution to problems that only a small amount of people care to see" There are loads of people, who do not care or know how much fee's they pay on PayPal / Credit card and bank accounts.... they just pay and continue to run in the little hamster wheel. Most of them, have never use remittance services, to know how much it would cost them to send fiat to another country. A small percentage of them have been the victim of credit card fraud or card skimming... or had their accounts being emptied by a hacker with a trojan. These are the kind of people, that would appreciate the solutions Bitcoins brings to the table... I would know, because I was one of them.  |

"Why should I use PayPal when I have a credit card? the masses are getting numb to face those kind of problems credit card and Paypal bring to them! When innovative technology comes out and revolutionizes the way of doing the same thing, they intuitively choose to resist the changes. As time goes, the average Joe will realize the true and adopt it. |
