Just a few things I noticed about bitcoin: Apparently the huge 'fees' for transactions only apply if you specifically set transaction speeds to the fastest possible. Me, I prefer a slower transaction - maybe 60~120 minutes. At >480 minutes, the fees drop even further. Bitcoin has refined itself in the last 5 years, with new protocols, wallets and technologies emerging to put it squarely in the hands of the people, rather than a specific company.
While it is suitable for some use cases, I admit I won't be using it as a main source of income because anyone can see what I have if I post a bitcoin address here haha.
