Why use Bitcoins ?

I keep seeing threads on why don't people ? The real question to me is Why would they ?

-The average consumer will go way out of their way to save money. Bitcoins cost more.
-The average consumer will usually pay a little extra to have convenience. Bitcoin is less convenience and more hoops and complications.

I just cannot see any reason for the average consumer to use Bitcoins. Until average consumers start using Bitcoins they will just be an experiment and a small speculative bubble.

I have my personal reasons, I am interested Bitcoins them as a tech person, speculative investor and person that follows evolving treads and markets. I am just struggling to see any.. benefits for the average consumer at this stage.

I understand your sentiments but I think you are not aware of what Bitcoin can do. Have you heard that the first bitcoin transaction was negotiated by some individuals to buy two pizzas from Papa John's worth 10,000 BTC?

Now, Bitcoin was also used as an alternative mode of payment for some transactions especially when it was done online. Average consumers will surely use Bitcoins to save time and money because of the lower fees and high efficiency in terms of a speedy transaction.

I think you perform the transfer, Bitcoin recently Bitcoin's key features; free and fast features like unfortunately is no longer valid. If it were low-paid and fast Bitcoin, I think today would be at $40000.
