It can be anonymous if you buy Bitcoin with cash, launder it , or you do all your buy/sell transactions with Bitcoin and never convert it. It’s well known that Bitcoin and Silk Road (illegal drugs) were tied together. If you can’t do something illegal with Bitcoin and avoid taxes, why is it better than regular money when conducting a transaction? It’s not cheaper (PayPal and Venmo are free) plus you can’t goto a credit card company if you get ripped off.

You can make money speculating. But if that’s the only value, it’s a pyramid / Ponzi scheme.

So the only value I see is illegal activity and getting out of the Ponzi scheme before it crashes.

If you disagree, please provide specific examples of why Bitcoin is better than regular money short of the collapse of the worlds monetary system (and society along with it)
