“I can send my USD only if my bank permits me to do so and depending on their schedule.”
I can login to my online Bank of America account now and transfer money to most anyone I know in about 100 countries. I can do the same from my bank account in A foreign bank account.
Freedom = I don’t want the government to know. I don’t have anything to hide and I am perfectly fine with the government seeing to whom I send/receive my money.
But bitcoin’s utility of it being a mechanism for transactions is over. It has become a mechanism to hoard wealth. The same way Tulips were used to hold wealth. The bulb will burst and it will lose that mechanism as well.
That said I think crypto currencies are the future...I just don’t think it’s bitcoin...

You don't see utility in hoarding wealth? Plenty of rich people do when they keep their money in the Cayman Islands.

> Your tone showcases your emotions.
I doubt you can define or explain those words, but you're welcome to try.
That's one of the core values for me, however I can see that people are used to or just fine with their current bank relationships. Thinking that it's either the one or the other that work for everyone is naive.
