The infographic shows the 10 most popular banknotes worldwide with its anti-counterfeiting security.
There are thousands of million dollars counterfeit circulating worldwide. Just in The US the FED said 7.3 We conclude that the total value of counterfeits in circulation at any moment is approximately $70 million or about one note in 10,000, and is highly unlikely to exceed
$200 million, or about 2.5 in 10,000.

it's costly for the society (more regulations, more resources to deter, individual or business accepting it accidentally >direct loss,...) Counterfeit money exists since the Ancient Rome at least, and it can destroy a government and its economy. Even the Nazis were counterfeiting the USD and GBP (Operation Bernhard) If only 1% of your circulating currency is fake your government is out. It can't borrow money anymore, business will stop to accept the currency, and since it's the only one, then the economy will be dead.

Do you know how many Bitcoin has ever been counterfeited since10 years? ZERO !

falsifying bitcoin I've never heard the news I think faking bitcoin might need to be considered because we know the price and value of bitcoin cannot be determined with certainty currency counterfeiters will certainly think further about it

If we are just looking at this angle then we can tell that bitcoin is really better than banknotes but if we look at accessibility such as the remote areas without electricity and internet access on remote areas in the third world countries then we can say that banknotes is better than bitcoin. But both the banknotes and bitcoin have its own uniqueness, advantage and disadvantages thus its good to have both.

Very true, I agree with you. Assessing cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) and paper money from a regional perspective and one's condition. Bitcoin is very valuable for those who have internet coverage, so Bitcoin is only owned by a few people.

this is a good topic. it is true that banknotes can be falsified and that is certainly very detrimental to the country. whereas bitcoin cannot be forged.

Well ... I'll say what I say always ...
Bitcoin is decentralized, respectively for me it is already a very strong argument in the bitcoin pain regarding paper money. Yes, and the form of money in paper is outdated, it's time to become digital money

Both are good and helpful , banknotes are the classic way while bitcoin is modern technology, that's why in some countries it hasn't legalized Bitcoin .

"Better" means not always the same as what's important with people needs. bitcoin is not regulated by any institution. if lost there will be no guarantee we can get our value back. different from banks. but to be a means of payment I agree that bitcoin is the best payment. but for currency for daily use. fix value stil needed.

Actually bitcoin and banknotes each have weaknesses and strengths. There is no perfect currency that can be used anywhere and in any situation. I don't say that bitcoin is better than paper money, it's just that I will say some of the advantages of bitcoin that paper money doesn't have. Security, bitcoin is safer than paper money. Bitcoin is safer than the danger of physical robbery. Other people also don't know how much bitcoin we have because control of bitcoin is on ourselves. Bitcoin is also more practical because we can carry bitcoin anywhere because bitcoin is digital. While for paper money we cannot carry in large quantities because it will burden us.

Bitcoin is an electronic asset mean time bank note is a physical currency with the specific value.If there will be a financial recession to the country means the value of the bank note will be depreciating mean time the value of bitcoin will be stable .Bitcoin can be useful for the world wide shopping and mean time the bank note can be used only inside the country . Bitcoin is useful for the easy and fast transactions world wide with out the interference of the third party .So the bitcoin is better by all means.

Bitcoin is better than banknotes because of the fast facing value and it is decentralized and the income we might generate from investing in bitcoin is very worth it.

In terms of the above, Bitcoin is better than cash. But you can not just compare one aspect that concludes that Bitcoin is better than cash. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Bitcoin, for example, is not stable, it's not a function of a currency, it's not popular in all countries or in remote areas or people who do not know the internet will use it. yes, ...

Bitcoin is better than paper money because it deals with fast, safe and secure transactions. The cost of international transfers is low, limited to 21 million coin. Be protected against inflation. No one can control and print Bitcoin as cash.

This is a very good information. This argument can be used so that the government of different nation that bans crypto could think twice of their movement. Cryptocurrency could replace the traditional bank notes, its just needs a little improvement in speed of transaction.

I believe that transparency and minimum commissions are one of the main qualities of the crypto currency, and there are no geographical limits.

WOW. That's because bitcoin is cryptocurrency, every peoples ever been try to make it or fake it but nobody can. And maybe that's a lot of people's questions? how to make currency that can't be remade or forged. According peoples cryptocurreny have own rules. And the most great is the price of this currency is very high so many peoples want to steal it.

Because it is safer and more reliable than banknotes

Sorry to disagree but Bitcoin is much riskier than any investments because the price is really unpredictable unlike the bank notes that it guarantee the earnings except if the bank will be bankrupt but we could choose the best banks to prevent this bank notes of loosing. Bitcoin is better than bank notes in talking of earning but that was just only if the price of Bitcoin keeps on increasing but if the price fall down like from $19,800 to $8,000 then that is another story.

I do not think there's anything better. Because bitcoin or banknotes has flaws. But keep thinking about the positive things of both. Both are very useful for our lives in my opinion. So do not compare it.

From the name itself, banknotes are not owned by the people. They are not people's notes. They are owned by the banks. They are the ones playing with its value and its circulation. The people are like sheep in terms of how they are herded by the banks in our present fiat system. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is owned by no other than the one who is holding it. And it is used on a peer-to-peer basis.
