The most thing I like about bitcoin it is its independence from the almost everything. He cannot be manipulated by no one and no one can use it to damage or manipulate the money of the others.

that's not really true, as long as there are big early adopters with 300k coins bitcoin market can be heavily manipulated especially with its tiny market cap, certainly not the strong point of bitocin...

The possibility. Bitcoin has only it's future ahead of it and it can be wildly successful, I hope it is. I hope it's able to be a safe alternative for people. I hope it's able to keep some bad practices in control. Competition is a good thing and competition among currencies in a country doesn't exist.
I hope it become a real method of transaction in real life.

It already has become method of payment in our life, but it is just for some area only not wideworld. May be you can keep on hoping that bitcoin will

attract more merchant to use bitcoin

Not having my funds tied down in a bank. It is freedom baby and loving it.
But seriously, it is the future of currency and the way it should be handled.
If countries that are having a touch time with fiat currency transitions over towards it, they would be at the forefront of deeming it a viable alternative to what they have now.

I like everything on Bitcoin, but I want really faaaaasteeeeer confirmations..

i think at some point there will be faster confirmations. it would make bitcoin much better and interesting for making purchases in physical stores. for online payments it doesn't matter that much to me.

The most important fact i like about the bitcoin is the freedom of my own wallet. I mean using a currency without being liable to any system. That's just Virtual Gold man !

Yes, it's a very good feeling, it just feels good on yoru brain. I hope that more and more common non geek folk start getting that feeling as well. It just feels great to have value that can never be stolen from you unless you make a mistake yourself (not having your computer clean, not saving your paper wallet, lossing passwords..) but it's all you. You can never suffer from bailouts, goverment incompetence or whatever, it's your wealth, and it's worldwide, you can bring it with you, it's a very nice feeling, specially when the price goes up and up too Smiley

My favorite part of Bitcoin is how easy it is to send anywhere in the world. With Bitcoin, I can share my writing services with anyone in the world, which is something I couldn't do before.

Yeah bitcoin have made online transfers very easy, convinient and time saving with very less transaction fees I generally use my bitcoins for online transfers and online shopping as it is much quicker and very easy way to transfer funds.

Yes that is true.And one more thing i luv about the bitcoin is the privacy. As nobody knows who is using it and who is sending it or receiving it and it also doesn't involve any paper work for money transfers and that makes it more special.

On the balance I consider irreversibility a negative.

I would much prefer fairness over irrevesibility.

Fairness means different things to different people under different circumstances. You can't build universal fairness into the protocol, so it is just as well that Bitcoin transactions are irreversible because there is no way you can fairly reverse a "bad" transaction using a decentralized scheme.

You could always build third party escrow systems on top of Bitcoin wherever they are required, and there are many examples of these around.

BTCitcoin the future of currency that is the main who make me like this one, transparency and anonymity is plus point of this innovation because it uses blockchain technology which is shared ledger and open for everyone so everything is clear, this will be top currency around the globe as it's going in right direction.
I agree Cryptocurrency has the potential to do this more efficiently than anything else, hence it is poised to become the most valuable asset in existence.

Bitcoin is irreversible -- that's one thing I like. On the other hand, I also like how it can be accessible everywhere just using your smartphone. Although gaypal has the same option, bitcoin on the other hand has more value and as i said, irreversible. The technology behind bitcoin is also unique and good. Very secured too.
this feature of bitcoin is actually both a good and a bad thing.

i love the fact that bitcoin transactions is not reversible and when you send bitcoin to someone there is nothing you can do about it anymore, this eliminates a lot of scamming which we can see happening with paypal.

but the bad part is that when you send bitcoin like for buying something you have to trust the receiver or else you have lost your bitcoin with no way to take it back.

they should ban cash too, because it can be used for drug, and their currency is not free from this, basically many other thing can be used for buying drug, they are using this excuse only to throw more fud at bitcoin , as usual

people are already using cash, so it doesn't matter , you don't need to convince people if fiat is good or bad. but it is different about bitcoin. when (if) media is advertising bitcoin as being associated with criminal activity like they do with some news, then new adopters might get scared and stay away.

On the balance I consider irreversibility a negative.

I would much prefer fairness over irrevesibility. In my opinion I would prefer that any transaction is settled as fairly as possible. In other words I don't want to pay for a broken product and have trouble because my payment for it is irreversible. Neither would I want to sell a product and receive money - and then hear from the buyer that he wasn't happy... and then argue that the sale is final... money is mine....

I can easily see how it can be abused, and irrevibility is a great thing for criminals. That money can be reversed from the account they were stolen from or defrauded from has been a headache for criminals.. and they had to empty the receiving account quickly and do all they can to ipen it under another name or otherwise try to hide their identity.. such a pain. So for criminals irrevesibility is a great thing.

But I'm not a criminal and just want both parties to be happy with any transaction I'm involved in.
