Couldn't you just as easily for 90% of the problems you mention use cash?

i pay my rent and bills with wire transfer, same goes for 99% of my purchases ( mostly on amazon ) ... my paycheck is sent me as wire transfer as well ... how am I supposed to live just on cash? :) I only use cash to buy cigarettes basically XD

If it all already works so fine with wire transfer for you then why should you use bitcoin anyway?

Yeah but now you can do it on the internet. It's the best alternative for cash on the internet today.
