Given your username, one would assume that you know the 3 uses of a money. But you know what they about assume-ing. I use bitcoin on a daily basis for the most important usage of a money - store of value.

Stability is an illusion. Everything is fluctuating in value every day. Some would argue that given bitcoin's fixed supply, it could be an asset against which everything else value can be measured accurately. An economical measuring stick, if you will.

> International accepted

Yes, except China!

> 50% attack

Buddy are you still in 2013?

> Crisis

Yes, there are some accounts of people fleeing the Ukraine war with their savings in a USB stick, Bitcoin sure is great in a time of crisis where criminals would be on the look out for shiny metal!

> start really using bitcoin..

What are you talking about? I'm using Bitcoin right now! I use it every day especially when I am soundly asleep knowing that my Bitcoin is safe and my purchasing power will grow in the long term.

El Hodlador knows what long term means.

I agree, but you can't mine USD, it's actually printed out of thin air.

You don't need to build wires that spans half your country! Just a big building, some transformers or whatever equipment is used to consume the energy from the stranded producer and a lot of miners, as much as you can power!

It's difficult to buy stocks if you don't even have a bank account. Why wouldn't Bitcoin be a "savings account"? I use it as a savings account, it's really great. I put money that I don't need today there so I can have the same or higher buying power in the long term, regardless of inflation.

The whole globe should be Anti-dollar (and anti-government money from any country)! What gives the US the right to the global reserve currency and the power to export inflation?

Check your financial privilege buddy. You may think that because you get paid in the world reserve currency with low inflation. Others are not as lucky, and this won't always be the case. Heard about de-dolloraziation?

What happens when costs get high? People innovate! When demand for bitcoin increases, more money will be invested in cheaper and more abundant power sources.

Bitcoin makes people's lives better. A lot of people use it as a savings account. That's really great, especially for people living with a hyperinflationary currency.

Bitcoin is very useful.

How is it easier to sell energy? Electricity is not digital, you need to build the wires, figure out the demand and fund the operations of the whole thing.

> No loans, no VCs

I don't think so. There will definitely be companies and startups that yield better returns than bitcoin. Especially when bitcoin stabilizes at a very high value, holders will start speculating.

They have and they deserve it. As bitcoin continues it's journey higher, all bitcoiners will be well rewarded (new or old).

I highly recommend Slide IOS app! I don't know how they're able to block ads.

It can't.
