The biggest problem with Bitcoin is the amount of data and how fast it’s getting generated.
You need a Bitcoin app running 7X24X52 just to keep the DB synchronized.
Then you hear of people saying “There are services for that...” well, then you are back to having some sort of counterparty exposure! That’s the same way as the old way!

Not really. If your wallet isn't running for a few days or weeks, it synchs itself up the next time you open it. It may take an extra minute or two depending on how long you've been off-line, but it's not too bad.
