> Aside from violence (US military), what is the US dollar’s features that make it better than bitcoin in any way?
using USD doesn't make me look like a criminal or a scammer.
And it actually work and is useful for everything that isn't shady.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot: I can go to a bank and ask for a loan in USD that I can then use to buy a house, start a business, go on a trip, instead of risking of losing everything the day after. I can repay the loan in comfortable installments, at a predictable rate which won't bankrupt me because I have to acquire bitcoins that are deflationary, so basically in 20 years my debt will have nominally grown up, instead of losing real value, due to inflation, hence costing me less, and whose price is unpredictable.
