The difference is Bitcoin is useful! ...
Somewhat. I'm certain pedophiles, terrorists and drug dealers have other means of securing their needs.
In my reality bitcoin is used by regular people to book hotels, buy computers or make overseas transfers with near-zero fees.
What 'reality' is this exactly? I know dozens of people, from all walks of life, and no one has even started talking about Bitcoin on his own. I get the impression that almost no one has even heard of it, let alone need it.
