The idea of Bitcoin is a system without any centralized trust, eg. "what do you do if the bank mugs you" would be a counter argument.

Some people used to think/want that Bitcoin was going to take over all other forms of money. I don't think many people still believe that. In that sense it's just like other forms of property that can be stolen.




That’s a pretty good counter argument tbh. I don’t think it has practical merit in the US, but I’ll give you it could be viable in other contexts
