What are the advantages of using bitcoin over a bank account/credit card/Paypal account?

• There is no centralised middleman controlling the flow of money, so your funds can’t be frozen, held, or subjected to arbitrary spending limits.
• You can send nearly instant payments anywhere in the world for a very small, optional fee; usually equivalent to a few cents.
• Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. For merchants, this means no chargebacks and a much smaller risk of payment fraud.
• All Bitcoin transactions are on public record, so it’s possible to prove a payment has been made or personal ownership of bitcoins.
• Bitcoins cannot be counterfeited or debased — only a finite amount of bitcoins can ever be created.

• Bitcoin can be an anonymous form of payment if certain precautions are taken.
