There are no fees that’s why everyone like them even small business prefer them to invest their money.
Disadvantages of Bitcoins: so if Bitcoin is so great, why everyone is not using it? Obviously, it has some drawbacks too. Bitcoin is not accepted in many parts of the world due to lack of technology in many countries or lack of knowledge in many people. The Bitcoin network has not built protection mechanism yet. If you lose your hard drive in which your wallet app is store, the Bitcoins in that wallet are loss for forever. Additionally, if your wallet file is stolen by someone, you cannot call any bank or organization.
One more disadvantage of Bitcoin is that every transaction is irreversible. Once the transaction is initiated that mean it’s done. No one can reverse this transaction. Usually, in banking system in critical transaction there is a safety net but in Bitcoin technology there is no safety net.
