i will just send my money and leave it even it not confirmed yet , why must wait until get confirmation ?
It is up to receiver of your bitcoin. Accepting a payment without confirmations is highly risky at it might get double spent. So, every merchants must wait till at least 3 three confirmations. Some companies, like Xapo are following 6 confirmations conventions. Confirmations will ensure your bitcoins not get reveresed by any chances.
