If you were a robber and you had to chose a target between a merchant that are cash only and another merchant that has a "Bitcoin accepted here" sticker in the window, which one will you target?
it is actually a much harder decision than you think. there is pros and cons in choosing either one! and you can rob both the same with a gun to the merchant's head forcing them to give you their funds.
- bitcoin is more valuable and it is much easier to transfer. the robber can send it out to his address which he has created before and is not carrying the keys. so when running away he doesn't have to carry anything. he goes in, robs, gets out. someone seeing him in the street right after the robbery wouldn't know he just robbed a lot of money!
- cash however is 100% anonymous. there is no way to find the robber if he gets away but he has to carry it out. if someone sees him in the street they will see him carrying a large bag filled with cash
