This isn’t the issue, it’s the main benefit.
The only time I use Bitcoin is when I want to buy something very specific, for a very specific price. Each time I do this I end up buying like at least $100 more Bitcoin than I actually need just in case Bitcoin’s price decides to take a huge fart. When I get the Bitcoin, I try to get rid of it as fast as possible, by making my purchase or converting it into NuBits.
Bitcoin’s speed is also a problem. If I have work or some other commitment in like an hour, I’m not going to be able to move my Bitcoin in time. I’m victim to Bitcoin’s moodswings while I’m doing my thing. Most of the time it’s fine, but I have been screwed over by it before. Bitcoin is just inferior when you’re trying to use cryptocurrency as actual MONEY. And if you’re going the speculative route there’s better options too.
I really hope NuBits or some other stable crypto really takes hold, especially in the markets I pursue.
