Bitcoin is even worse the value fluctuates so much more then the dollar does its basically useless.. and its backed by absolutely nothing at least with a bank you have fdic and to a point your money is safe.. bitcoin you have nothing, its backed by no one, and when someone steals your bitcoin wallets or all ur coins you are SOL...
It will never, i repeat NEVER be adopted widespread by any normal people, only hackers and people looking to buy things that are illegal and do not want to be tracked.
Its stupid, and anyone who is putting faith in it is even more stupid then stocking up on gold and silver, at least with gold and silver you can make yourself pretty rings and jewelry when its worthless.. What can you do with a bitcoin when its worthless...
It can't be manipulated you say?... says who, the people who made it? yah and the fed says the same thing about the dollar..

Bitcoin reminds me of Beanie Babies.
It may not be a fad, I don't know, but this frenzy sure reminds me of Beanie Babies.

It is better than the US dollar. The only characteristic it shares with the Dollar is that they are both fiat currency. In every other respect it is clearly superior. No central bank, no way to devalue it or cause inflation, WAY more secure, anonymous = no identity theft, the list goes on.
Why fear change so much?
Bitcoin: impossible to access your encrypted wallets or freeze your money for any reason at all
Not only is a digital currency a shoe in plan of every NWO playbook that has ever been believed or conspired by conspiracy theorists everywhere
but it, just like every other modern currency is backed by:
NOTHING!
