A friend was bragging to me about the merits of her local currency, but I wonder what's the point since we have bitcoin? Bitcoin which obviously includes the world population. I did not really understand the objectives of these local currencies, I was wondering if local currencies existed in other countries and if people understood the interest of these local currencies which seem to undergo inflation like the fiats.
to be honest i just heard about this "local currency" in France. actually i'm still confused about the concept and system of "local currency" and is the use of various types of "local currency" not a hassle for foreign tourists?.
actually it doesn't matter if your colleague may prefer that currency because maybe he feels that he gets a lot of benefits in his area or region for using the "local currency" that he mentions.
but my question is whether your friends know Bitcoin?.
i don't know but i think the mentioned "local currency" can only be profitable if it is transacted only in France but i think Bitcoin has a wider and universal reach to be used all over the world.
