Throughout history, there has been a conflict between solid currencies such as gold and silver and fiat currencies. Bitcoin has emerged on the stage of history as an additional alternative to solid currencies such as gold and silver. I'm already on the side of solid coins. That's why I love Bitcoin so much. We don't need to count the extra great things like peer-to-peer payment, decentralized structure, semi-anonymous structure, financial freedom and portability...
I appreciate Bitcoin so much as it has unique technology and principles of operation that outweighs the traditional ways of investment and settlements, but in fairness, gold, silver and fiat have their advantages over the cryptocurrency too. As much as I would want to say I love Bitcoin more than the others, it might only be about the low transaction cost and the decentralization of BTC that would be the valid advantage of it over the earlier listed ones.
