But it's great as a store of value, censorship-resistant money, and one of the fastest and cheapest ways to do cross-border remittances.
- oarsinsync 7y ago> it's great as a store of value BTC/USD is down 18% in the last 30 days. That's not a great store of value. > censorship-resistant money Correct, but only within its own economy. The moment you want to convert to "real" money (fiat), you're out of luck > and one of the fastest and cheapest ways to do cross-border remittances Depends on which borders you're talking about. Within first world western countries with similar monetary policies, TransferWise is generally cheaper and quicker. Within the EU, SEPA fits that bill too. (Disclaimer: I am long bitcoin)
