Bitcoin is decentralized while real money is centralized, from here it is clear that bitcoin can not be controlled so it goes up and down without anyone ever able to control. bitcoin is more suitable if it is said to be a commodity rather than a currency.
Don't give me that voice, when I'm reading comments about bitcoin being a commodity rather than a currency, my heart is aching because I don't have much BTC and only those people who are early here will have that, and will feel the price. Im hoping that people will view it more as a currency because that is how all of us will be benefited by its function. If we are going to be stuck in the mindset of "rather than a currency" then this aint the dreamed crypto that will replace the dollar soon. Sad.
The number of bitcoins is limited - 21 million of them can be produced. Today, no state in the world can print or depreciate them. This is the concept of bitcoin - that it should be money that belongs only to you, which can not be forged and which you can instantly settle with anyone anywhere in the world where there is the Internet.
Yup and we all know that so stop comparing the technical aspects, how about its battle for survival versus real money, we are having transactions problems and some traffic in the chain. Some are turning into alts and if we're not going to fix these kind of problems soon then it's too early to be comparing it to real money. I'm a supporter of BTC and I will always will be, i know that its is more superior than fiats but as to the standpoint now. Were to early to make it as an official money, especially because of its price.
