Bitcoin is supposedly a better money than gold when you evaluate it according to all the characteristics that make for good money, it's divisible, fungible, durable, portable, identifiable, and scarce.
How many people actually use BTC as money on a regular basis here?
Most people seem to treat it like an asset, hoarding and holding hoping for the moon.
I just recently put 0.5 on my cellphone mycellium app wallet, that was a big deal for me to commit to having a hot cellphone wallet. There's only one restaurant I can find here in San Diego that accepts bitcoin so I haven't had a chance to use it. I'm waiting for that day I'm at one of my regular places and I see a BTC sign so I can whip out my phone and use it
actually smartphone have more privacy than a desktop, if you know how to use it, and use awifi connection, with bitcoin they can essentially track your position, not who was sending that particular transaction, so if you have a phone you can just move away and your are done, repeat after each trasaction, i mean there isn't really the ip problem
paying in a restaurant should not be an issue regardless, if they don't emit invoice
using gold instead isn't anonymous at all, not even practical...
