Cash gives you control. Bitcoin gives you freedom.

[Anghat]

Every time you tap your debit card, your money loses a little bit of its value.

When we move to a fully cashless society, we don’t just lose physical money, we lose control. Let me give you an example, let’s say you spend 30,000 a month on bills, food, transportation etc.

If you use a debit card, the bank makes about 90, Visa/Mastercard takes 30, and the payment processor gets 480. If you use a credit card, the bank makes around 150. That’s up to 2% of your money taken every month, silently, through fees.

Let's do the maths, if 2% is taken from every transaction, 100 turns into 0 after just 50 taps. This is why digital payments feel free, but they’re not. You pay for them indirectly and others profit from every move you make.

Now compare that with Bitcoin, no middlemen taking a cut. No printing more to cause inflation. Every transaction is transparent and you can track where Bitcoin came from, who had it, and where it went. That means less room for corruption, money laundering, or black money especially in countries where public money often “disappears.” In places like Africa and South Asia, Bitcoin can help bring honesty and accountability to finance.

Cash gives you control.
Bitcoin gives you freedom.

Stick to cash when you can. And learn about Bitcoin not just for profit, but for power and protection.

This is a very nice of putting it..... And also irrespective of the fact that our Nigeria cash keeps devaluing, it is still important to have it alongside one'w  Bitcoin accumulation journey, here is why: with cash it is very much easier to settle any emergency situation which may arise when one is stacking up his/her bitcoin.... So thherefore both ( cash and Bitcoin) are important cos one without the other makes an investor vulnerable in some wayyy.

Bitcoin transactions are seamless but I also think gas fees are taken from every transaction made to better smoothen the speed. Bitcoin has more advantage over transactions as it's is not under a controlled authority and it's value can likely increase exponentially over time with HODL or trading. It also has its own disadvantage too like loosing a private key to your account that could possibly cause the loss of all assets.

Corruption would always be there in every political setting, so to assure credibility the incorporation of Bitcoin should be considered too.

You have a good point. From my own perspective, aside the borderless transactions Bitcoin gives freedom in the sense that it protects HODLer from inflation unlike cash that can drop in value

Also a Bitcoin HODLer is free from the long and limited process of storage from banks unlike cash

Cash gives control because with physical cash you can attend to emergency needs and wouldn't have to worry about wrong passcodes or network failure.

I understand your perspective on this but bro let me just say cash or transfer no one is reliable. You  just brought out the downside of transactions which with the way you put it is very accurate and I like it But then transctions are fast and easy to use and they nor dey waste time . Yeah but at the same time using cash can't guarante  your safety in the sense that you can't carry a large sum of money and be walking on the road but you can do that with the help of your smart phone and no one will notice. with cash, how can you be able to send money to  maybe friends or family in another location ?I am very sure everyone is aware that many businesses that are  majorly based on online don't actuallly accept cash so I disagree with you .yes With Bitcoin it could make thing  easier but then not everyone yet knows about it. I know you are not trying to say we should abandon transactions, but for me I believe in our everyday everyday life balance is needed. Both cash, transfer, and Bitcoin they are  have their own value  even with the devaluation of our Nigeria naira, they still are.


Furthermore to put it simply when you use your credit card  you pay a fee but then in every transaction you make you often get a cash reward .Am I right or wrong? So I believe transactions are as much balanced as every other payment system. That is just it bro..........

Maybe I'm lacking in understanding but I can't really tell how cash gives control in your post
Imo Bitcoin is what gives control, self custody which Indirectly leads to freedom.

Cash gives anonymity. Fiat system gives convenience. Bitcoin control.

My POV. Could be wrong.

[Princess Leah]

 I really love your message especially when you said "Cash gives control but Bitcoin gives freedom" which is a fact. Left for me, I choose freedom over control in the sense that if I invest my cash in Bitcoin it would get more value of time and I'm in charge of the security of the asset and won't pay any money in form of charges to the bank that serves as third party.

 Well, cash has it own advantage cause a cash in hand especially when it bulky commands respect and can solve emergency problems immediately but I'll rather have the cash an invest it in Bitcoin to generate more return thereby bringing more cash in the future. In other words cash is good but Bitcoin is more valuable.

You can never stick to fiat alone because the government may decide to make fiat lose its purchasing power by printing so much fiat or implementing a policy that could make fiat lose its strength. Protection and power were part of the reasons why Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin, while the profit part of bitcoin is just one of the benefits of holding bitcoin.

The main purpose of creating Bitcoin is to simplify the banking system, meaning that a person does not have to depend on a third party when exchanging his money, a person will transact his money whenever he wants and will be in control of his own money. I believe that despite hundreds of obstacles, the main purpose of creating Bitcoin has been successful because the whole world is researching about Bitcoin and is getting a lot of encouragement to invest and it will double in the future. Bitcoin has created a new place for investment, by holding it for a long time, a person can avoid inflation and expect profit in the future. Bitcoin digital Decentralized resource, supply is limited, no specific country or government can control it, anyone can invest freely whenever they want, so they do not have to depend on anyone.

Well put. The fees on digital payments are hidden in plain sight, and most people don’t even realize how much gets skimmed off. Bitcoin changes that by cutting out middlemen and giving real financial control back to the user. It’s not just about profit, it’s about freedom.
