What are the benefits of Bitcoin?

* Payment freedom: Send and receive payment anywhere in the world at any time.

* Choose your own fees: There is no fee to receive Bitcoins. Higher fees can encourage faster processing of your transaction.

* Fewer risks for merchants: Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not contain customers’ sensitive or personal information.

* Security and control: It is impossible for merchants to force unwanted or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods

* Transparent and neutral: No individual or organization can control or manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure.
