if you are to post negative things about bitcoin, i believe you should not be here in this thread, there are other threads that tackles the disadvantages of bitcoin so please spare this one.
i believe that this should be helpful for people who have no idea about bitcoin. including newbies in this forum. who knows, maybe some smerit giver will read your post if it deserves to be merited depending on how helpful and informative your post is. so good luck to us all guys.
EDITED: please do not post statements that you agree on why i created this thread, what we need is the practical use of bitcoin today, just to avoid spamming posts that are already posted above yours.
Why I love bitcoin.. I think its been apparent for a while that we are moving into a cashless society. Some countries are further down the line than others. Scandinavian countries are probably the furthest along this line. But in the next 50 years latest I think cash will be phased out. Im already seeing it within the UK which is where I live.
Once we do enter this new age of a cashless society I think we also enter a new age of total surveillance which is very reminiscent of George Orwell's dystopian outlook on how society will turn out.
Luckily due to the advent of Bitcoin and the fact its network effect managed to slip under the radar to the point where it has gotten to where it is today we have the opportunity to have a decentralised form of currency (although I do think this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to bitcoins use cases). In this future that I can see coming bitcoin has the chance to be the synonymous cash of the future. With the option of being totally anonymous if you are extra extra careful and take all the appropriate steps and I think this will one of the greatest gifts bitcoin will give to the world!
