Well, do we need it? Because, I can see that people use it only as an investment or as a money laundering tool. Black markets rebornt after the creation of bitcoin. I tried to convince someone to use it, but you know what? I couldn't. Why? Well, honest people don't afraid the central authority, in addition with the dishonest ones. Those who want something that is illegal, cannot do that. So they use bitcoin.

You are not entirely wrong to be honest because money laundering and investment purpose are the two most common uses of bitcoin currently and until the entire crypto industry looks at and make good use of the true purpose of bitcoin, it can be said that it is not really needed. Talking about the true purpose of bitcoin, it's meant to provide financial freedom but then again, if you ain't doing something illegal why should one need to hide his financial activities from the authorities. I know good intentions were behind the creation of bitcoin but bad people are using it for illegal things

I like bitcoin, a lot. But I don't think that this world needs it. Except if they want to hide something. Prove me wrong.

Try to make a $1,000,000 bank transfer from London to Japan and see how much the banks charge in fees... now try to do it with bitcoin... it will cost the same than spend only $10, and that's why we need bitcoin.
This is the reasons that best for bitcoin but never learn by others.
If only the world will accept this advantage?for sure they will accept and use this legally starting  now.
Bitcoin is important for us because governments can't  control it or its price (ofcourse for now). Maybe they can find a way to control it someday.
and this same reason why the government dont want this to be accepted as they cannot manipulate and control the flow of currency inside.

yeah, it is the main reason. that's why the government don't want to legalize BTC. Govt. is unable to control it or regulate it, they will not be able to determine or definite its value. on the other hand, Bitcoin is not stable like other fiat money, its price goes up or down rapidly at any time, this is one of the main reasons why governments in many countries do not legalize Bitcoin.

Some people use Bitcoin in illegal transactions as they know that they are not traceable but never think that they could be successful all the time. I understand why some countries are not in the support of crypto because of this, but even illegalities hidden the authorities will still hunt them down.

Yeah, and the same with you...I wont seeing that the world needs for Bitcoin because of its high risk and volatility feature. Not even we consider that it places an important role at this time as we use it for another form of cashless payment it is because traditional payment won't either stop. And we know that, people are not 100% committed to crypto adoption and being much comfortable with this.

Bitcoin brought the to the world this valuable technological breakthrough and although there are other blockchains with add ons that will further the advancement of this Tech, it still plays a valuable role and is still the most dominant currency in this whole market cap demographic. Will it be the same in ten years down the line? Who knows what will happen then and what breakthroughs in this technology will perhaps bring one of the blockchains to over take Bitcoin. At the moment we need Bitcoin as a measurement for store or value scenarios which Financial Institutions can use to invest accordingly in this fledgling technology.

The answer is simply NO.

Bitcoin is just a cryptocurrency and I think many people are buying it including me, for investing purposes and for trading obviously. But if someone will ask do I need Bitcoin then, NO! There's a better alternative for bitcoin if you are gonna use it for daily transaction, a lot of banks are implementing online transactions and E-wallet which is fiat based is booming right now (also the transaction is instant). For me Bitcoin is so hassle to use and not effective if you are just a regular guy who wants to use digital money. Bitcoin for me is just for investment like it or hate it there's a lot and better alternative for cryptocurrency.  Wink

For a daily living?  I say no.  I like Bitcoin but something along the line many people set an agenda into it which I found unhealthy for the national economic growth.

Governments don't want it and they wish they could prevent it, because they cannot track you easily, they cannot tax you, they ..., they ..., they...
Governments like censorship, and there is 0% censorship on bitcoin.

With the presence of third party exchanges, government can easily track people's transaction by implementing kyc.  Blockchain transparency is also a great help to it.  Aside from P2P and underground market, if the person is transacting with registered merchants, they can be easily traced.

I like bitcoin, a lot. But I don't think that this world needs it. Except if they want to hide something. Prove me wrong.

Totally agree with you.

I don't know if anyone needs it but I need it.Many online sites are using Bitcoin as a payment system. It is true that many governments do not approve Bitcoin for there country. Many governments now do not think that Bitcoin is needed but will be needed in the future. Just waiting for a government approval then the whole world will need it.

I'd like to see how the government will look differently with Bitcoins as the pandemic get worsen
Wrong,Pandemic now is getting better and the world is slowly getting unto it,
Russia is soon to release the vaccine so what is getting worse?

Out country is getting positive each day because the people are coping with what government is telling us to do.

But I'm not really seeing that Bitcoin will be ultimately needed in the future. No, you can't leave to think that the government will fully authorize crypto and vanishing fiat money coz Central banks will still printing paper money as people will still need it.
Bitcoin is really design for future and that is what happening since more than 10 years ago.

In a simple sentence, who doesn't need BTC !
BTC is the most popular cryptocurrency.To be honest, everyone needs BTC, but for those who are middle class and students, it is like the new moon. As well as being a platform suitable for those who want to transact very fast, and it is also secure. The demand for bitcoin will spread far and wide.
Lastly, I don't know who wants bitcoin and who doesn't need but I want more.....

People out there will not need bitcoin because they think that they can still search for the other jobs and make money with fiat. But that will different if they know about bitcoin because with bitcoin, they can still try to make money, and the best part is they can convert their bitcoin to fiat money which they can use to fills their daily needs. Yes, people who know bitcoin will want to have bitcoin, and we always want more bitcoin from doing many things related to crypto jobs.

Honest people are not afraid of central authority and dishonest people are also not afraid of central authority. Because with central authority or no central authority. There are illegal activities.
BTC have brought more power to people who have no power or the ones in control of these central authorities either being honest or dishonest.
And also, The world is Manipulated now. And if there is 0% censorship on btc, there is still a way to track btc. I heard SEC told Bitfinex to freeze and account with come btc some days back and this is something related to censorship. Illegal activities can be stopped with on Bitcoin blockchain too its just a matter of way to track each transaction and figuring out the illegal users moves.

So we need Btc to avoid been cheated by the so called governments manipulating things and making everything complicated

We do need bitcoin, we need it like any other disruptive technology before bitcoin. Naturally, it is not obvious from the start what bitcoin can give us, what it will be used for in the future. Even people who considered to be experts in this field have no real idea what bitcoin is. Is it speculative asset? Is it a convinient tool for money launders? Most probably, neither of that. That is just first steps of new disruptive technology, its very first use cases, negative though. People should decide for themselves how to use it. The most interesting part about bitcoin is that it gives people a choice. If you are okay with current system in which everyone have to rely on honesty of intermediaries, you probably don't need bitcoin yet. But if there is a situation where you lose trust in third parties, you now have an option to opt-out from current system and that is bitcoin.

The world needs more moral improvement and human character than needs bitcoin. But in reality, human morals are difficult to change and tend to be stingy and greedy. In the hands of good people, bitcoin is beneficial for many people. In the hands of bad people, bitcoin is only used as a tool to support crime. So all depends on the subject, not the object. Bitcoin is only an object in the economic movement.

In fact, if only people were morally upright and have the preferable character then Bitcoin wouldn't have been needed in the first place. Who needs Bitcoin when human beings and their systems are honest and fair? Nobody, nobody at all. But that is simply not the case. Human beings are not as honest and fair as we wish them to be. They are easily corrupted. Even those who are having so vast a power over the rest of their fellowmen cannot be trusted. That is why Bitcoin was born. It was urgently needed!

Come to think of it, we live before without bitcoin, we survived, we do usual things even without it
 But, we are now in a new era with new technologies. Aren't we wanted the new convenient system? New kind of payment system, something new that we can be proud of that we were be able to be part of. At the end of the day, we can still survive without it but we still need it. And our life is a lot better with bitcoin, realtalk.
 Too many things that makes bitcoin special that many considered it as a lifesaver, so yep we need it.

We did not really have the need for Bitcoin BUT it was worth it learning about it. Learning about Blockchain Technologies was really helpful understand how and why Bitcoin works. Bitcoin really helped a lot financially since the value of Bitcoin is really noticeable. There are already people using the Cryptocurrency Industry as their source of financial help and that is actually resourceful. Bitcoin taught us how to utilize available resources through hard work and patience.
