Bitcoin is a complicated piece of work that is hilariously annoying to explain to people and is frankly just one of those things that is really simple when it comes to what they need to know, and really complicated when it gets to the nitty gritty. That's funny, because the normal economics of mortgages and savings and investment portfolios and 401ks are insanely complicated, even more so when thrown together, and yet people utilize the financial world on a daily basis with wild and inaccurate misconceptions about the world around them, and guess what?
They get along just fine.
The nitty gritty of Bitcoin vs. the Dollar, or the Bitcoin Payment System vs. Modern Banking is all just playgrounds for economists and computer nerds to rage about till the end of time. What matters is the effect on the consumer. If people are aware of what Bitcoin DOES rather than how it works, then they are on a level playing field with modern banking.
General concepts to push forward
Price of yo Monies = unsafe, but generally upward rather than downward. Comparison to banking? Oddly enough, in this sense, it's a bank where your money will erratically gain or lose value, but everyone gets the same shift. SOCIALISM! (jk)
Can people steal yo Monies? = No. But oddly enough it makes it easier for people to put a gun to your head and steal your life savings with a few strokes of a keyboard. Which is interesting. I don't think anyone has ever noticed that. I feel like people need to know this, mostly muggers and psychopaths (just kidding, only the government! two birds = 1 stone)
Can you spend yo monies? = Yes, but rarely. Much like a mistunderstood troll, people see you and revile your nature, and while many people under your bridge will trade you monies under the bridge, you don't really produce anything to buy except Troll. and Troll is useless.
Translation
More and more venders are accepting Bitcoin as an accepted method of payment. It's ability to serve as a Medium of Exchange without significant cost of transaction means that it is cheaper for venders to be paid in Bitcoin than having to pay fees from credit card companies (though cash = free, so there you go).
Wow, trash, try harder
