 Bitcoin trades all day and night, all weekend, holidays, and has no circuit breakers..

I can buy 1/10th of a bitcoin, on a Sunday morning in France, and send half of that to a friend in Argentina, who can then buy something with it.

Try that with any other asset. 
 Trading has been halted by order of the Bitcoin CEO 
 Hate it when that happens… 
 The people of Argentina will experience what can be, unburdened by what has been. 😐 
 Carrier Pigeons aren't even that fast. The GB/flap is garbo. 
 The world’s money 
 Money and bank!
