bitcoin is:
1. Scarce
2. Durable
3. Portable
4. Divisible
5. Impossible to counterfeit
6. Fungible ( any 1 BTC has the same value as any other )
7. Easy to keep safe ( contrary to popular belief, it easy to print out a paper wallet...)
8. Shiny ( yes the digital bits that make up a bitcoin are VERY shiny)
9. all of the above. + very shiny
Fiat is:
1. Definitely not Scarce, ( mage inflation in the money supply is monumental )
2. Not Durable
3. NOT Portable... compare it to bitcoin, ( try sending 1 million dollars across the globe, try sending 10 cents. then try again but with bitcoin AHhhhh you starting to get it now eh )
5. Impossible to counterfeit LMAO
6. Fungible... ya maybe...
7. Easy to keep safe? ya all it requires is huge banks, and even then.... the only reason it works is the fact the government has no problem printing (out of thin air ITS MAGIC!) as much money as they need to be solvent any time they need it, you do know what a bailout is right?
8. Shiny? Its has cocaine all over it so no... not shiny
the only thing that fiat has going for it is that its widely accepted, for now!

Thanks, I'll go through these today and see if I can find what I'm looking for.

after watching this video, i feel ashamed wanting the bitcoin price go up just so i can dump it for dollars and use it. i really hope someday bitcoin can be ultimately accepted anywhere.
OK, I have finished work, but to be honest I am a bit tired to gather all the info BUT...
BTC is created by miners just like GOLD, so it doesn't just appear out of nowhere,
BTC is not centralized and not one government or entity can claim that they own BTC,
BTC can not be double spent and it cannot be given with blank promises (cheques, etc).
There is much more that I want to add, but to be honest bro, right now I am so tired that I just want to browse the forums for a bit and maybe even play a game of Pilotta or Belotte for most.
Don't get me wrong, you do have a point and I MUST provide the right answers but right now I can't be bothered.
I will get to it ASAP.
I promise.
But it is not going to be tonight....
No worries man, I've waited a year...a little longer won't hurt.
As I said earlier, I get the "printing" aspect but we have so many challenges that go far beyond creating money out of thin air. I'm actually surprised no one else seems to have any answers either. 
I'll keep my eyes open for your updates. Thanks bro.
thank you for sharing this video

If you have something to add please do so.
Thank you
Thanks for the video. This however is nothing more than a Bitcoin promotional video. Good for those purposes but this does nothing to answer the questions as to how Bitcoin solves the issues and challenges addressed in the original video you posted. I think that it's good for people to see how the system works but why buy Bitcoin, if it doesn't solve the issues of that system? That's the question I would ask, if you sent me the original video as an attempt to get me into Bitcoin. This promo video would still leave me without answers.

You have a very strong point.
Showing your friends this will make them understand the flaws of fiat currency, but it doesn't make any mention of BTC or how BTC does not carry those flaws.
Please allow me some time as I am at work now.
When I get home I will gather whatever useful info I can find so you can send it together with this video
Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it.

Really interesting info, thanks for sharing this to us.
I saw this and the whole series quite some time ago. Now, I get why Bitcoin having a limit to the amount that can be created is ideal over a currency that can be printed at will. Here's what I still don't get:
How does Bitcoin help everyone else who doesn't have Bitcoin? How is Bitcoin supposed to replace fiat, if everyone can't get it and in order to get it, they have to buy it with fiat?
this is a problem if we ever want to move to a new currency.How does Bitcoin help everyone else who doesn't have Bitcoin? How is Bitcoin supposed to replace fiat, if everyone can't get it and in order to get it, they have to buy it with fiat?
Unless we all decide to donate our coins to the public for the sake of market liquidity, which will increases the rest of our coins value ALOT. But then there's the free rider problem, where some people will keep their coins instead just to get even bigger slice of wealth, and this is totally uncontrollable for such decentralized currency.
Yup...well I ask because the thread title says, "show them this" and I don't see how that makes a full case for Bitcoin, aside from avoiding fiat that can be created from thin air. In addition to my previous questions, Bitcoin also doesn't prevent fractional reserve banking, which is our biggest problem. So, I'm just looking for resolve on this because it's the one thing in the year I've been at this, that I can't reconcile. I send this video to someone and make the case for Bitcoin how? How do I explain how Bitcoin solves all the issues presented? Does Bitcoin actually solve them and if so, how?
