user58252: The biggest weakness of bitcoin is also it's biggest strength, ie, relying heavily on the online block-chain to confirm any transactions. The word Online is a very interesting word. For an individual, being online mean the power to access the world, but for your hard-earned money, constantly being online is more a liability than an asset. For starter, you can't spend your money while not being online, even if you are a millionaire. So it's a simple question. Why doesn't the block-chain have an offline functionality? Instead of getting confirmation by strangers around the world and while paying them a fee, Why not have an offline-password-based confirmation schema?
Being able to use your hard earned cash both Online and Offline is a huge deal. Or isn't it?
