> Every advocate promotes holding, which is not what a currency is for: currencies are meant to be a medium of exchange and to change hands.
You cannot dictate what currencies are used for. I like my currencies to keep a purchasing power. FIAT is not salabe over time. Its value decreases every day.
> We need inflation to keep the economy going.
No we don't. Tech is inherently deflationary, yet Iphone purchases increase year by year.
> they say that it's a currency, when it's not. It is not accessible to everybody (not everybody has access to internet).
Bitcoin is accesible via satelite, also try setting up a USD bank account in Iran :) Bitcoin is more accessible than any fiat currency ever has.
> if you lose your key, you lose the access to your wallet for good and nobody can help you. People seem to not understand how bad this is. Imagine people losing everything because of one silly mistake.
For some reason people think that just because the base is a final settlement layer, that there will be no systems such as banks with accounts build on top of it? You can have insured accounts on top of Bitcoin.
> Volatility is the enemy of any economy market: we need stability and predictability to avoid mayhem:
Bitcoin is in it search for it's pricing. This is going to take some time. No one who didn't sell made any losses as of yet.
I really don't get why some of you prefer FIAT central banks systems with settlement processes even bankers can't comprehend over a simple beautiful system that is auditable by even below average programmers.
In the end the hardest money always succeeds.
