Explaining the Wealth Advantages of Bitcoin
as a Trip to a Foreign Country
<p dir="auto">When you travel to a foreign country you find a place to<br />
change your currency into the local currency. Imagine that<br />
five months ago you traveled to Bitlandia and bought bitcoin.<br />
You spent some and came home and forgot about the BTC and<br />
then changed what you had left and were very surprised that<br />
when you change it back it buys four times as much as it did<br />
before.<br />
You didn't physically travel – you traveled in time. What you<br />
changed your money into grew in value due to demand for a<br />
scarce currency that not only holds its value over time, but is<br />
very usefully in internet transactions.<br />
Since most 'brick and mortar' retail places do not take BTC or<br />
other digital currency, yet, there are conversion cards that<br />
work like debit cards to allow purchasing. The great thing is you<br />
hold your wealth in BTC which holds and grows in value<br />
and only convert it as needed. If it happens your normal currency<br />
is worth more or is more convenient just use that. Now you have<br />
a choice. For as slightly higher fee most cards will allow withdrawal<br />
of cash from ATM machines.<br />
It is very satisfying to buy $40 worth of gas and know that you<br />
actually are only paying $10!! I did this yesterday.<br />
Direct purchases with digital currency are just starting, but like<br />
credit cards, it's taking awhile to catch on. I expect a huge change<br />
in the next three years. I think you or someone you know will have<br />
made such a purchase before three years are up. DASH looks like<br />
it may be the most used. Likely there will be many choices. Once a<br />
merchant accepts one digital 'coin' it is easy to add another.<br />
There are many videos on YT showing various ways to buy BTC<br />
and other crypto/virtual/digital currencies. One way is though<br />
Coinbase which uses a Visa 'Shift' card for the conversion.<br />
The 'learning curve' is well worth the effort!
