I don't think so that BTC batter then cash but in my life I prefer to use card money. its easy to use now and get some discount program. BTC did't popular now and price did't fix. Best way to hold or trade Bitcoin. maybe in future marker price correction stabilize and mi mind changed.

One of the biggest deterrents for new people when it comes to buying bitcoin is the idea that its not safe.

The mainstream press continues to air scaremongering headlines that suggest bitcoin is either fuelling a bubble, or that, every time hackers attack a bitcoin exchange, its for criminal purposes.

They repeat the idea that bitcoin isnt safe because you cant hold it in your hands. Its nothing more than ones and zeroes, they say.

However HOW IS BITCOIN BETTER THAN NORMAL CURRENCY?
Lets take a deeper look and compare it to classic (fiat) currencies.

- Volatility:
It may seem, that Bitcoin is too volatile and the price jumps like crazy
Compared to USD, EUR, GBP - Yes
Compared to the currency of Ukraine, Argentina and dozens of other currencies its much better

- Value:
Bitcoin is deflational
This means, that supply is limited and noone can just print more money
In the USSR there was a day, when the goverment decided to divide the value of its official currency by 10. With Bitcoin its not possible

- Transaction fees:
Western union or other similar services usually take 15% for a transfer of money
With the Bitcoin the usual transaction fee is a couple of cents and you can even pay less if youre not in a hurry

- Portability:
As long as you are able to store 256 bits you can have bitcoins
You can write the key at the piece of paper or even remember it

- Transferability:
The usual transaction time is negligible (<1s)
But if your transaction is extremely important you need to wait for 6 blocks (6 confirmations) which is usually around 1 hour

- Security:
If your bank goes down - youre screwed
In Bitcoin nothing can go wrong except that you can loose the key

- Deniability:
The bank is a single point of failure
If your bank goes down - youre screwed
Bitcoin has a distributed nature, which makes it extremely resilient to different types of attacks

- Divisibility:
You can have/buy/transfer as little as ~0.0000071411 USD (at current price) in Bitcoin.
Its the smalest unit and it equals to 0.00000001 BTC
