Can someone explain why people are complaining about the ability to send any amount of money anywhere in the world in about an hour without having to ask a middleman for permission?
To be fair , Bitcoin has to compete in a sea of alts that many do indeed have lower tx fees and faster conf.... They don't have more secure tx's or more stable currencies than bitcoin however and the reason why it is worthwhile spending 2-4 pennies more to instantly get in the next block.
Except if everyone else does it as well. Then you're stuck.
