Title: Bts vs Btc
Post by: bitbro on January 30, 2014, 05:07:43 pm

Trying to think of analogies for buying into Bts that pertain to the real world ...

Does this rhetoric work:?

Would you keep thousands of US dollar bills under your mattress or in your pocket?  ...
Then why would you do that with cyber currency?

Does your mattress give  +5%?

I think the crucial thing that beats btc is not the 5%. It is "no mining" and being a powerful financial instrument which also makes it a true reserve currency...
We should not forget to explain what it does and what makes bts powerful! +5% can easily make it look like a ponzi and people believe the great promises even less...

btc is "cash," bts is like a brokerage margin account. They both are useful for different uses.

Sometimes a mattress gives you +50% :)
