For me, it is about technology which I think is what makes bitcoin special. Who would have thought you could have a currency that is supported by the network maintained solely by the community. Nobody can shut it down, nobody can control it

well in theory miners can shut it down, in the remote case  that it would not be profitable for them, and they are actually controlling bitcoin, the good thing is that they are not a single entity, like with fiat...

the whole POW is the real weakness of bitcoin

It's anonymous. But the problem is for example someone try to purchase drugs using bitcoin. This become a new era of transaction without being notice.

There is pro and contra about it, it is just the same as fiat, you can't make something in a prefect condition, there will be some who support you and some who dont so just let it flow

The best thing in bitcoin is, I can save it in my own bank, blockchain, and get full control of it. We don't need the teal banks anymore, and don't let them take our money.

The disadvantage IMO, what will happen if internet get shut by some accident or disaster... I think there's no way out to recover our bitcoin once that happen

Which disaster will cause that? Lets say if they got disaster they must have something to backup their internet and there is no way that they will shutdown the internet, because the new era which is going is online so everyone need online things, who didnt have any internet can't compete in outside

There are many things i like and i dont.
For example a good thing to bitcoin is that there are no chargebacks, it's private(not at all), and it's faster than international tx.

Bitcoin makes it so that just about anyone can start selling online. Previously one would have to use a shopping cart and sign up with a 3rd party payment processor in order to accept payments.

Wouldn't you really need an online shopping cart if you were selling things via bitcoin? People still prefer some sort of shop format to use and there are plenty of options many just occuring fees after you've sold a product but I'm sure there free versions too.

What do you like best about bitcoin?
Decentralization, transparency or easier to move?
Or just it makes you look cool? Wink

there are many things I really like on bitcoin like blade-edge technology, development, opensource, decentralization...but on the top of it is of, which is quite important for me - freedom.

Paying a transaction fee plus a subscription fee, it was ridiculous. Now with bitcoin you can create a small online shop and start selling your items with just a few lines of code. This is what I like the most about bitcoin.

Other reason, fast transaction
You are lucky that you get fastest transactions, and I guess you haven't experienced the confirmations part that will put you in ripping your bones in case of huge transactions till the final results.

I like it's potencial. I'm never expected that bitcoin has value more than $ 100. When you hold it, it means you're also try to invest just like you're holding a gold or property.
Other reason, fast transaction and low fee. Imagine, our local currency, can't do that but with bitcoin anything can happen. Purchase all stuff everywhere at anytime

I like almost everything about Bitcoins. However, the fact that the payments can be anonymous, easy and incredibly fast is what excites me the most.

Apart from that, yeah, owning Bitcoins makes me look cool. Smiley

There is two reasons why I like Bitcoin. First it is hard to trace where my Bitcoin went to - privacy. Second I dont need to provide any information to create a wallet - again, privacy. So I use Bitcoin mainly because I dont want to expose myself.

there is one little thing that i like about bitcoin, and it is the fact that i do not need to write down my cvv everytime i make a purchase, i feel a bit insecure ,everytime they ask me for that, with bitcoin there is not this problem, you transaction are secure, info cannot be stolen while performing one, not to emntion that is much faster to do it
