The main advantages of cryptocurrencies for me are:
1. High volatility - thanks to it we can earn up to 100% per day, which is not possible on any other market.
2. Decentralization - it's a nature of all cryptocurrencies, though some of them are far from being decentralized (ex. Ripple)
3. Privacy - though now it's being threatened by KYC
4. Easy to access and use - even my younger sister learned crypto in few months.
5. Tax free - at least for now.
6. Crypto is the future. I have not doubt that one day cryptocurrencies will replace fiat. Even if it takes 10+ years.

It's gonna change very soon, many countries start to introduce new crypto regulation and taxation. But I agree, that it's still much easier to transfer cryptocurrency in between the countries than fiat.

Cryptocurrency gives everyone a fair chance to earn online without registration fees. It is easier to transfer and receive payments without the risk of using your bank identity because we only use the address. Transaction fees are much lower and processing is faster.

Disadvantages of Cryptocurrency
1. Difficult to understand – Cryptocurrencies are relatively new and come with a learning curve. People end up investing without proper knowledge and lose money to something they did not learn about.
2. Lack of knowledge – People are not aware of how to use cryptocurrency and hence open themselves to hacker. The technology is somewhat complex and therefore one needs to be mindful of it before investing.
3. Not accepted widely – Not many websites and companies accept digital currencies yet. Very few countries have legalized the use of cryptocurrencies. It makes it impractical for everyday use. Due to lack of acceptance, before buying or investing online or offline, you need to make sure that it’s accepted at that place where you want to use it. Although it is slowly getting the acceptance around the world, it will take time to take the idea entirely out of the shadows.
4. Can lose your wallet – There is a possibility of losing your wallet. If you have stored the money in the form of digital currency on your phone or computer, you better remember your password and not lose those devices. Losing your coins means you won’t be able to retrieve it, even with the help of legal assistance so that is just one of Bitcoins flaws.
5. No way to reverse the payment – If you mistakenly pay someone by using cryptocurrency, then there is no way to get a refund of the amount paid. All you can do is to ask the person for a refund and if your request is turned down, then just forget about the money.
6. Uncertainty – Since cryptocurrencies are so new, they are also very volatile. This is one of the main reasons mass adoption is taking longer than it should. Many corporations don’t want to deal with a form of money that is going to go through huge swings in volatility.

I find these difficulties a big hindrance to getting involved in crypto. That's why I believe in this ICO bc they are aiming to make crypto easier to enter for all with their novice friendly UI and the first ever arbitrage exchange that will allow for less market volatility which keeps so many inexperienced and afraid people on the sidelines. Arbitrage will provide a better way to profit in this economy.

Valueable post. Please add that they are also unsecure. Projects or ico can scam people, dev stop development and keep project alone and whale could manipulate the market.
With cryptocurrency you can become a millionaire with little investment,Also there is privacy in the space, no one knows what you worth in the real world with cryptocurrency.
I think the benefit of crypto is very much may not I can mention one by one. Suppose investing in crypto is very easy but we must remember, investing in crypto must be ready with his profit and loss.
Advantages of Cryptocurrency. easy to access ,easy to payment, No charges , Privated and Highly Secured.
Bitcoin or alts are managed by its network, and not any one central authority. Decentralization means the network operates on a user-to-user (or peer-to-peer) basis. Decentralization is a major advantage.
The only thing I found in a problem with a defect is not a way to cancel a transaction as soon as it is sent, and there is no way to stop it or cancel it in the waiting queue, because the blockchain system is not designed that way. 
All the advantages but still don't see cryptocurrency overtake fiat.
Easy payment = yes, but when you said it's quick is another story because waiting for the transaction confirmation is pending for a week or even more than a month these days. That's why until now Bitcoin and Altcoins aren't much embraced by food chains and other quick buy or payment because Cryptocurrency isn't quick and fast enough to close the transaction.
That is right. That is why cryptocurrencies should not be used on a daily basis for basic commodities. Can you imagine falling in line at cashier waiting that long just for a coffee? I always prefer cash on day to day basis. Cash is quicker and less hassle since you do not need to pay additional for the transaction fees like cryptocurrencies do.
The ease of access of course is the best. Unlike cash or overseas transactions, it feels like you are really connected with everyone you transact with by using cryptos to buy or something with. This concept actually makes up the future of internet transactions and will take over overseas payments using cash or something.
