those arguing that bitcoin doesnt have a unique purpose that differs from other currencies.. please understand that FIAT no matter what country you live in, is the SAME!. it does not have any unique features differing each other.

so ask yourself if you can do everything with the dollar, that you can also do with a euro... why isnt everyone using the euro.

mastercard, american express and visa are all the same. the method of payment is no different. so ask yourself if everything can be done with mastercard, why does visa, american express exist.

western union.. blah blah... why does moneygram exist.
t-mobile blah blah.. why does vodaphone exist.
pepsi blah blah why does cocacola exist.
Mcdonalds blah blah why does burgerking exist.
budweiser blah blah why does miller/coors exist.

again dollar blah blah why does euro, pound, yuan, ruble, mpesa, peso, exist.

staying on the currency topic lets talk about global reach. the american dollar has ben literally FIGHTING for global dominance for well over 100 years, but only 320million people use it daily. thats not even 5% world adoption, so anyone defending and trying to talk people into staying with the dollar.. well it is obvious that they have an agenda..

when you realise that people prefer choices and freedoms then you will understand that bitcoin gives an extra choice.

bitcoin is actually far different than what fiat is, in many many ways. bitcoin also offers abilities and strengths that gold cannot offer. it offers many abilities that paypal, mastercard, western union, bank accounts, bank notes cannot offer. and im not even talking about anonymity.

i personally do not care about the price.. it has been days since i checked the price, and even though i hold lots of bitcoins, the price rises or drops do not matter to me one bit. as i can see the potential and future of bitcoin. that said if bitcoin was to drop to 1c i could loose hundreds of thousands of dollars of value.. but that does not phase me as im not in it for the fiat wealth or fiat retirement. once you get passed measuring bitcoin vs fiat and actually use bitcoin properly you will see what it can do for many people. without actually requiring world domination.

bitcoin doesnt need billions of users to be a success, like i said the dollar only has 320million regular users and people hail the dollar as a success.. (i am laughing while writing that statement as i think american government is delusional about its power)

lastly if anyone is shouting that bitcoin is dead and will only be worth 1cent soon. how about you sell me 1bitcoin for 1c now and put your money where your mouth is. i dare you to sell me 1000 bitcoins for $10. until you are willing to do such a thing, your points are meaningless.
