Depending on how you look at it, cash fortunately or otherwise is still the number one choice for many, myself included.  However, my commitment and hope for Bitcoin is unwavering.  Personally, holding Bitcoin instead of case at this moment is simply logic.  If i kept $10 in the bank over the past 6 months, it wouldn't have gained a quarter of what $10 sats would have gained in the same period.  So i feel like i get more value from my Bitcoin than i do cash.
Cash is still big in my country but I see a change in the past 10 years now a lot more people are paying with credit cards which is a bad idea since the interest rates are terrible and if you lose control of your spending habits you could end paying that debt for the rest of your life.

Because cash can not always meet what we want, even for now cash transactions are getting down and replaced with digital or credit card. Moreover, the more interesting bitcoin is owned because of the ever-increasing price.
It is true bitcoin is giving us a lot of opportunities and the cash cannot make you earn income. Bitcoin is decentralized and it is more secured it is easy to use and easy to convert so the most important that you can get the benefits from saving bitcoin for long time and then sell it at the most high price. But now the value of the cash is getting down and it cannot be use as an investment so bitcoin is better than cash for me.

After read above most people choosing bitcoin instead cash
I dont know why, but in real life i prefer use cash
I cant buy any kind of goods or foods in my country using bitcoin, still better using cash in here. Dont know about another country, but i think according to the reply i read, maybe there are already offline store that accept bitcoin in their country
You maybe right that in the other country bitcoin is well recognized than in your place. Just like in m yesterday country bitcoin here anyhow was being familiar with most of the citizens here but not that popular as yet, also we have some merchants here who are bitcoin accepted already.

I would like to add the fact that bitcoin's price is ever changing whoch can give out advantages to other people especially those who are saving bitcoins. There is a chance that the current price of bitcoin will increase which is kind of a good thing because the pay that you'll be receiving will double in amount.

Another problem is in terms of its own economy, which makes Bitcoin and the like judged unsuitable to be currency. This is due to the fact that Bitcoin's supply is limited, in contrast to reprinted banknotes with serious observations by the central bank.

Not only that cash can get very cumbersome if theres is an hyper inflation then the amount of cash you are going to need to pay for something will get ridiculous, in countries were that happen is not strange to have to move tens of pounds in cash just to pay for bread.

I recently paid for some local tacos using Bitcoin. My friend who was unfamilar with Bitcoin thought it was strange, like I technically didn't pay for them or something. We got into discussing Bitcoin and one of the questions he asked me was:
"Why would you want Bitcoins instead of cash?". For a second I didn't know what to say; then I thought about it and here is what I came up with. Feel free to contribute to this.

1) More security (especially if you are careful).

2) Bitcoins are a potential investment, cash is not. Paper currency only really goes down in value, Bitcoins have a lot of potential to be worth more as time goes on.

3) Fast, worldwide transactions at your fingertips.

4) Similar to #3, but it's a universal currency. It's legal in most countries of the world and you don't need any kind of currency conversion to send money to people in a different country than your own.





Well i still prefer to have cash in my pocket and use bitcoin for big transactions where government and banks cannot interfere. There are multiple advantages of using bitcoin basically the convenience,security and transparency that makes transactions soft and easy.

Besides, Bitcoin is an invisible gold and do not be restricted by the customs.

Thats pretty crazy, well it gibe an idea that bitcoin is better than cash, well yeah in the sense that you dont have to fill you wallets with paper money whenever you want to go outside if theres a available ATM machine then you can cash out your money that you work hard here in bitcoin, bitcoin is suitable for those countries who publicly accept bitcoin for transactions already.

You can pay safely with bitcoin. You can pay using mobile gadget without risk of losing or stealing your paper cash.

Bitcoin could grow and be an investment while holding it in online wallet.

Fast and free transaction than remittance center.

It can not be confiscated unlike when carrying valuable such as gold when travelling places.

It is an internet currency that can be use anywhere unlike paper needs to be converted before getting a payment in country to country for example having US dollar in england and you need to convert to london pound to make payments.

Very good point! This basically allows you to bring more than 10k in "cash" around the glob in your pocket without customs having a chance to find out.. Can potentially be problematic though, helping illegal transactions.
This is actually a good thing for Bitcoin in terms of transaction becasue most of people prefer to used currency which may give the freedom on transaction. And Bitcoin as a form of crypto-currency could possibly give that to people being a part of transaction withkut any track of identity or simply anonymous every transaction. Yet it likely to happened that there is a specific role in each transcript we could made.

against bills and coins, i think bitcoin has an edge when it comes to security just like everyone saying here since they can't steal it from you specially when you are outside your house. Not like in money is is susceptible from getting stolen from others just by using force.

I want to have bitcoins rather than money yet since I don't have any vendor who acknowledges bitcoin, I need to convert it in money right now. I am essentially certain that in future we will be living in such a financial domain where there will be no money, each exchange will occur either in neighborhood cash or in cryptographic money however it will be digital.And yet it safe since you're far from lost .It alright to lose cellphone than cash. Be savvy .

Because bitcoin is better than cash, by holding your cash for years you won't make as much money as by holding bitcoin. Bitcoin currently is the best investment to make good money. Bitcoin as someone rightly said is digital gold and there are more benefits and it's more profitable to have bitcoin than cash. It's because of these gains and benefits which people get by holding bitcoin that they are more inclined towards holding or having bitcoin than cash.

There are some characteristics of bitcoin that we can't find in cash in terms of security cash could easily robbed, imitate production of fake bills, easily torn and scratch and the value are stable however when it comes to bitcoins it is highly encrypted,productions are limited, very efficient to use especially in transferring process at distant locations, and its value are fluctuating in a short span of time.

Bitcoin- in bullish time
September 13, 2017, 04:33:51 AM
Right now there is no reason to change anything through a complete replacement, and that is fine. There are still many things to work out and that cash thing has some irrational hold on some people, whatever the reason. Let the transition take its time and let the system work the way it is supposed to. It takes time, but the end result is worth the wait.
You must reconsider it that bitcoin is not cash. So you can be robbed or something and that is very safe for everyone because you can’t steal it and that is good. I hope that more people will use Bitcoin and that Bitcoin will also be more worth so that it will also be more popular.
Even though bitcoin is not a cash or physical money then you can still get robbed by the hackers or the cyber criminals because if you are not careful with your actions in the internet then you can get easily robbed by the professional hackers because it is easy for them to hack and get something from a person that is not careful with his stuffs.

Bitcoin just as a new breakthrough to get cash, or can be said as an intermediary to get cash. Because bitcoin has its processes for cash, such as how to earning it, sending, transacting and then on making cash / local currencys. The value of the fluctuating bitcoin gives an opportunity to invest with bitcoin, and then selling it again to get cash.
