    If it was used as an actual currency instead of an investment vehicle for speculators, that would help.

    It also has zero protection from scams and fraud.

      I mean you can use it as currency, and I do sometimes. I have bought plenty of steam games with Bitcoin. I’ve also bought a bunch of stuff on Newegg, and other places online.

      It has exactly as much protection from scams and fraud as cash does, that’s essentially what it is.

        And I don’t give cash to anonymous people online. I only use cash in-person for immediate services or products.
