Bitcoin have different facets. For people leaving in places with a variety of banking choice, some of them may come unnoticed.

Bitcoin is great when:

2. You worry about high inflation rates in your home currency, and your government creates a lot of obstacles to move your money to other currencies (like today in Argentina).

3. Or you want transact in a grey market tax-free. E.g. a guy selling his IT consulting services.
