Bitcoin, just like the internet, is useless!!! ... After all, who the hell uses the internet today after that bubble that ripped off poor people!!??

Thanks for your wise words, oh, technology oracle. God bless you. Grin

I've always found it comical that people try to compare Bitcoin to the internet. The key difference between the two is, the internet is immensely useful. Bitcoin, not so much. Kind of a one trick pony in comparison. Please stop, you just sound ridiculous.

Just start using bitcoin instead of just investing in it on top of a bubble, and you will see how incredibly usefull it is.
And once the conversion between fiat <-> btc gets more easy and faster more and more people will start realizing this.

I for example have an account at the same bank as my exchange. Money transfers bank account <-> exchange take between 5 and 60 minutes for me. With this setup i can work inernationally and get payments in no time.
Before btc i was basically limited to work locally (and still had to worry and keep track if the invoices get paid in time). Who wants to work for someone on the other end of the world without knowing if you will receive your payment? With btc it is easy as pie.

- show some work samples
- get a little advance
- start working
- show sample of finished work
- get paid submit your work and have money in your bank account within 1-2 hours

Another example would be any non physical item you purchase on internet like music downloads or whatever:
- send bitcoins (no need to submit personal information or cc details)
- start downloading
- done

And hell, you ever wanted to grab some food and realized you got no cash at home because you (again ) were to lazy or forgot to stop at the next atm today? With btc i can just top up my mobile wallet from home if it is empty and am ready to fill my stomach.

bitcoin can actually make your life a lot easier, you just have to START USING it Wink
