RE: Using Bitcoin On Everyday Items

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Does the excessive volatility, lack of consumer protection and expensive exchange (fiat -> btc and vice versa) mean that BTC as a transactional tool only makes sense in censorship environments or in countries with weak/protected currencies?

Sort:  

not necessarily. banks serve about 1 billion of the population and the other 7 are underserved since they have no access to credit, identifications, or other requirements and bitcoin offers this service as long as you have a smartphone, which most people have nowadays.
