I just saw a commercial for some iOS app that lets you pay instantly with your phone; if that's the kind of functionality you're looking for, there it is! But that's not what bitcoin is for; never has been!

If thou treatest Satoshi's words as gospel, thou shalt at least read thy fucking white paper more carefully...


Title, abstract, and first paragraph:


Quote
A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

Quote
peer-to-peer version of electronic cash

Quote
What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.


Note the curious absence of mentioning Bitcoin's purpose being a 'rock solid store of wealth with the sole desire to overthrow the JEWISH SHAPESHIFTERS' & SPACE LIZARDS' FINANCIAL OLIGARCHY' - ahem - I meant to act as "semi fungible high limit poker chips". I like that one.
