because you cant do nothing with bitcoin that you cant already do with fiat currency. this is the real and hard true.
You can make a phone call by going to a website and paying in bitcoins without signing up.
You can send money worldwide for less than pennies.
You can use your cell phone to pay for things instead of carrying around a phone AND a wallet.
You don't have to worry about identity theft with your cards.
You can vote anonymously and securely.
Why you would want to pay without sign up? You will have to provide your address and your name or you wont receive the package that you are buying...
I can now send money worldwide for pennies with my bank.
Pay things with cellphone? I already do that for months!!! Apple pay, android nfc, qr codes...
I dont worry about identity thefts because i know how to surf the web and i have a service that provides me digital credit cards for single purchases online. 1 new card for each purchase with the exact limit for that purchase. So no worries here too.
Vote anonymously? Lol, you already vote anonymously... Votes must be anonymously or they arent votes...
Like i said, you cant do nothing that matters with bitcoin that you cant already do with fiat currency. That's why nobody is talking about it anymore. Only here because people here wants to be rich without hard work... Sorry that wont happen.
No you cant. You can't send 1 dollar to japan or africa or some place, and you cant send 1 million dollars, both for 0,02853 USD if you use the standard fee.
And this is 1% of what Bitcoin can do that we aren't talking about. Bitcoin is superior to all forms of money and will deprecate tons of industries worldwide, and do things we can't even imagine now, just like we couldn't imagine social networks in 1992 internet.

Thank you for that video, i ll watch it later.
To the others that think im some kind of troll or anti-bitcoin: you are so wrong.
I have bitcoins actually and i love bitcoin.. But i m still learning it. And to learn, i love to play devil's advocate, asking questions, problems and confronting bitcoin with fiat-c.
To bitcoin become huge success (i hope) it has to convince the population in general, bitcoin must be as good as fiat-c in every way and better in some ways.
I want to learn every single possibility around it (future user friendly apps, loans, transactions, mortagages, salaries, companies dealing with bitcoin, etc) to analyse it and trying to see if it will be capable of completely substitute fiat-c in ordinary/general requirements that our society is long-time adapted.
If i dont play devil's advocate here, is very hard to hear answers and opinions to some questions i (and many people) have.
Actually, everytime i have someone proving myself wrong, i love it and i buy a little more bitcoins.
SO, PLEASE, only keep proving i am wrong and we all be happy.
Hope you understood me
