what is treat ? you mean threat to thier business  ? yes thats what others are thinking . they see that bitcoin is unique or have other advantage that are not on thier payment system . but not all are haters , others are also willing to teamed up with bitcoin because they think that this can grow thier company  .




if they are linked to it then why they deny it ? thats strange   . i never witnessed that before   .  i only see several companies that are linked to bitcoin and they are proud of it .

But it depends on the timing on when the transactions made,because if we must remember back in December 2017 when the transactions are congested we experienced longer waiting on each of our sending/receiving payments but all the fact you’ve mentioned is right mate that those other payment methods take longer time as in days befoe being done while in crypto the longest ive heard is more than aday

We should compare bitcoin with those payment methods. Isn't that we are supposed to achieve? To be able to be an effective payment method as those mentioned. Just because you can't win compared to them that we will demand comparison to stop. We should thank people that keep comparing it because we at least have a goal that we should achieve.

Thats the only way enemies of cryptocurrency can fight back against our beloved bitcoin because aside from that its harder for them to find another

Bitcoin is a currency in virtual form.when those mentioned are payment method in which obviously different from a currency so just let them have their moment and besides we are not butthurt here

the only problem with cryptocurrencu is lack of adoption. so if  you some day choose to use any of them for oversees transfer of money then you will end up paying a lot more fees than if you chose something like paypel.
for example imagine you wanted to use an altcoin. you first had to buy bitcoin then use that to buy the altcoin and then withdraw from the exchange. that is 4 fees already (transfer of fiat to exchange, buying bitcoin, buying altcoin and withdrawal fee). then the other person has to pay the same 4 fees in reverse to convert that altcoin to fiat again.
the only case that this can make sense is if you use bitcoin itself and if the other person doesn't have to convert it back to fiat and uses bitcoin as a currency since it is already a currency and is increasing its adoption.

Bitcoin is so different from any other payment method because all of them are centralized and controlled by the government ,
This is the newest and only decentralized payment option it is the best for me because we don't need banks just to keep our money safe .
For me it is the bank for non-bankers for those who doesn't trust the government or banks.

With the development of the internet indirectly paving the way for digital money to be used as a financial transaction tool, which previously was dominated by Visa or Master Card. Now bitcoin as a digital currency is increasingly being used throughout the world, especially developed countries.
Bitcoin has its own characteristics that are different from other payment instruments because transactions are peer to peer so it does not involve third parties, such as banking. So from that bitcoin cannot be compared with other payment instruments because it has its own advantages.

I will keep comparing bitcoin with other payment method no matter what. Visa , MasterCard, samsungpay and alypay still charge too high cost for their services, I prefer like to use btc or usdt or other altcoin to send money outside of my country as long as the person who receive it is agree with that. I think cryptocurrency transactions is safe enough, I did many transactions with many people outside of my country without any problem so why I have to use visa, MasterCard, samsung pay and alypay if I can send money with less cost when using cryptocurrency.

there is nothing wrong with comparing bitcoin with other payment methods. in fact I would say that it is a good idea to do that kind of comparison because bitcoin is also a payment system and a currency so it has to be compared with other similar ones in its own category so that it can improve. and also this kind of comparison helps people see the differences and benefits and disadvantages all at the same time and make a better decision in their choice.

the problem is when people start comparing bitcoin with things that don't even fall under the same category as bitcoin. for example comparing bitcoin with gold since gold is a commodity and bitcoin is a currency they should not be compared. or comparison of bitcoin with tokens like ethereum, since bitcoin is a currency and ETH is a token they should not be compared.
the other problem is when you compare bitcoin with something else and only focus on one aspect instead of combination of them. for example comparing TPS of bitcoin with Visa while ignoring the decentralization versus centralization.
