Your tone showcases your emotions.
I can send bitcoins to anyone that wants to accept them, anytime.
I can send my USD only if my bank permits me to do so and depending on their schedule.
That's one of the core values for me, however I can see that people are used to or just fine with their current bank relationships. Thinking that it's either the one or the other that work for everyone is naive.

- victor106 9y ago“I can send my USD only if my bank permits me to do so and depending on their schedule.” I can login to my online Bank of America account now and transfer money to most anyone I know in about 100 countries. I can do the same from my bank account in A foreign bank account. Freedom = I don’t want the government to know. I don’t have anything to hide and I am perfectly fine with the government seeing to whom I send/receive my money. But bitcoin’s utility of it being a mechanism for transactions is over. It has become a mechanism to hoard wealth. The same way Tulips were used to hold wealth. The bulb will burst and it will lose that mechanism as well. That said I think crypto currencies are the future...I just don’t think it’s bitcoin...
