Your first statement is flat out wrong. Illegality is actually a driver of prices in all sorts of activity. See drug prices now, alcohol during the Prohibition. (Also, and this is more of a style and culture matter, learn about run-on sentences. They're one of those things that got cut in us-landia colleges.)
Obviously, it is "not like a bank transfer". Then again, that you personally have never seen anything like it, makes no difference in its actual legitimacy or usefulness as a medium of transaction.

Not unique, and if anything, becoming time-tested.

Lol and who will punish it? Love this thing, might be the thing that saves the world from collectivists.

Lack of oversight is the main feature, it only scares old women (not even all of them, who would have guessed but my grandma asked about btc in a call a year ago.) and why is deflation bad?

Yeah, those footers are just for the "more equal" crowd. Anyone I know who actually wants to discriminate, still gets away with it. Those who don't don't. But at least now the average diversity idealist is appeased.

That keeps the people in power wary from abusing it. What do you propose instead? Lulz
