However, unlike credit cards and banks, Bitcoin works to your benefit.
Bitcoin frees you from nonsense such as:
- Having your account closed without any choice
- Unfair or inappropriate fees
- Unwanted surveillance and tracking from banks (what you do with your money should be only your private business!)
- Comparitively fast and cheap global transactions
And Bitcoin helps promote:
- Healthy, non-inflating currency
- Step towards government spending control to reduce funding for unconstitutional wars and excessive government waste
- Step towards stronger middle class and less poverty
- Power in your hands, not banks or governments
Sadly most people don't care about these things, just like they don't care about everything else: war, taxes, government etc. They just want to get on with their life with minimal fuss, but their unwillingness to buck the trend and cause a fuss is a big part of the problem. We can see the benefits of bitcoin, but will the mainstream fully? I'm not so sure.
