Its hard because it's easy to own and secure Bitcoins, but impossible to own money in USD, bank accounts or paypal. It's all a huge network of promises based on debt. When you transfer bitcoin, you really transfer ownership forever. When you transfer digital dollar, you just rely on a bunch of intermediate agreements to hold true unless judge decides another way. Paypal payments are reversible, CC payments too. Even bank wires can be reversed sometimes because it's still based on an agreement between banks. Even laws regulating these agreements are also promises to punish or reward people based on other people's decision. Bitcoin is the only money you can really own. Other currencies are fragile and ephemeral. http://blog.oleganza.com/post/67362431718/you-can-own-bitcoin-you-cant-own-your-dollars http://blog.oleganza.com/post/67362431718/you-can-own-bitcoi...
