Few years after forcing everyone to take their gold to the bank, the US president, Nixon in 1971 stopped everyone from having the right to convert their gold to fiat. Isn't that stealing? Government resent bitcoin because they can't control it like they did in 1971. Very soon, it will be illegal to own bitcoin in some countries, not because bitcoin is bad, but because bitcoin gives you the power to own your money. Bitcoin is more real than your money in the bank. Be your own bank by investing and learning about bitcoin.

When Bitcoin can be exchanged with almost all currencies in the world, Bitcoin is no longer virtual.
BTC has long become real money, and countless hackers have also proved this.
I think Bitcoin is true of any paper currency I have seen. The paper currency itself is worthless and is said to be backed by gold. Do you believe it? I actually don't believe it.
