Bitcoin is better in any shape or form that the current banking system.

The only issue i see for consumers is the lack of stores accepting it + the points I addressed in post #1 which is tied o point 1) somewhat.

Yes they wont use it if they cant spend it, and its hard to buy with all the KYC requirements, but other than that its much better in any aspect.

I know people are dumb and lazy, thats why we need to address my point, and with that we can overcome the inertia of the masses.

Is it? Ideally it would be better, but currently it's not. You can't just say it's better and offer no reasons why. Tell me why would my parents or grandparents want to use bitcoin? Heck, why would my friends even want to use it? It loses value more than it gains. If you get hacked your money is gone for good. You can barely buy anything with it. Why would they use bitcoin when they can just send paypal around the world without fees too and they're covered of anything goes wrong. Bitcoin isn't this magic perfect money machine as much as we want it to be and we need to accept that currently the 99% of people have no use or benefit from it whatsoever and thats going to be the big problem and why I made the phone comparison. People don't need to upgrade their phone if the new one doesn't really offer them any noticeable benefits. There are certainly benefits for certain industries like the remittance market but that's no use to anybody I know.

Well yes I can see the bitcoin inflation issue, but that will be less next year. And even now its only about 9.09%% YoY, the USD yearly inflation is already over 11%:

Then it can be transferred almost for free, while bank transfers are very expensive.

Then it has no capital controls.

Then it doesnt discriminate based on sex, religion, political views, etc..

And so on, I already made a list of this in the GOLD vs. BITCOIN thread in economics sector:
