It's like using a credit card to pay for a drink vs doing a gold transfer.

Taler is anonymous to payer where Bitcoin transations are public, not wasteful for electrical power (https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption), almost instant and currency agnostic. Taler could also do BTC payments too.
