It did make sense for quite a while..I bought and sold stuff online and between 2011 and 2015/16 it was easier and cheaper to pay Chinese suppliers in bitcoin than trying to send international transfers. Think 20p a transaction Vs £25 flat fee for an international bank transfer.

It did make sense and it did happen. However it has now evolved into another asset rather than a currency.
