Could this be the reason , It's like 15-20mn to get at least 1 confirmation if I'am correct ?
Anyway the point is that we need some time to get transactions verified , could this actually prevent us from going to mainstream ?  I mean if you want to buy something from McDonald are you supposed to wait 15mn while that's the time of your launch break ?

When you are buying parking tickets are you also supposed to wait few minuts ?  Huh It wouldn't make any sense .

Honestly , I'am not even sure what controls the speed of the transactions .

Transactions confirmation times shouldn't be a problem.
It does however require third party to confirm the transaction for you.
E.g. Xapo offers a Bitcoin Credit Card.
I don't know how it works but I am guessing, if your account has Bitcoins in it then Xapo will confirm the transaction instantly.
