I live on Bitcoin for more than a half year Tongue but indeed I need to use fiats too... to pay bills, buy food, etc...

My favorites learned things by her are:

1. It is easier to live on Bitcoin this year than last.
(True Smiley and it will be easier every year from now on)

3. I used to feel crazy when I asked people if I could pay for things in a made-up virtual currency, but now that Bitcoin is more widely known, I just feel eccentric.
I had same feelings when I was doing that Smiley

4. People may have heard of Bitcoin but they still don’t understand how it works.
So true... this is why so many supporters are trying to make people do understand by writing articles or creating short video clips for Bitcoin newbies. But still - I believe this is a problem that need just some more time to be resolved by itself Wink

8. When things do go wrong in Bitcoin, it’s not clear who you turn to.
things can go wrong only if we are using 3rd party companies... and well.. due to some hackers stealing your pvtkeys.  Well ... this is why we are going back to point 4.


Well anyway ! Smiley it is interesting you should read it!

Regards.
