Bitcoin is an excellent MOP. Debit/credit card payments require more work, time and risk from businesses. There's the batching, growing possibility of fraud and charge backs. Those events slow growth, innovation and bring solid migraines.  Compared to all cryptocurrencies Bitcoin is king. Any mention of an alt is typically followed up with "Is that like Bitcoin?" One drawback I hear with Bitcoin is the processing time. Even if it took a full day that is still much faster than card payments. What if rate of exchange is less at the end of the day? The value of our dollar is diminishing constantly. Other countries have it worse. And just like that we started talking about Lambos again.
