Pros and cons of Bitcoin? [View all]

[OneGrassRoot]

I really have no content or stories or opinion to share about this.

I'm just posing the question and hoping others will chime in with their opinions (especially based on direct experience perhaps?), as well as resource links regarding the pros and cons of Bitcoin.

I've never completely wrapped my brain around what it IS or what it can do, and I see so much conflicting information about it that my head spins when I see the word "Bitcoin" now but I'm trying to keep an open mind as to the possibilities.

I'm hoping the DUers can educate and enlighten me as to the various potential pros and cons of Bitcoin based on your own experience or research.

For those who have no idea what Bitcoin is, here's the wiki link:

Thanks in advance.
