Hi.
Just curious about what problem bitcoin solves.

If I should setup a service in I2P and have people pay to use it, bitcoin isn't anonymous enough.
As soon as I use any of my I2P-bitcoins outside of I2P, I'm outed.
And anyone who wants to buy things from me would have a paper-trail linking their purchase from me to their regular account.

And if I setup a service on the regular internet, why should I bother with bitcoin and not just use VISA/Paypal/anything-else.

I'm trying to see a justification for bitcoin, but I just don't see it. Please educate me.
