This would of course depend on why you want instantaneous confirmation.

The true nature of our impatience is that we live in a consumerism-based society which demands that we show everything we have now, Now, NOW!!!

If we slow things down a bit, we learn that the confirmation means that our funds are MORE secure, being difficult to steal or fraud, because there is no central authority which sits on its hands or issues a confirmation before it actually confirms anything (how fraud works in the fiat currency world). When we have a central authority which controls all of the money, it then also necessarily controls how that money may be used, and it creates opportunities for fraudsters.

To date, the only real issue with Bitcoin are the DDoS attacks on certain BTC-related web sites, which didn't succeed in taking any money, but instead cost the whole system some coins which may never be recoverable. It was the equivalent of trying to rob a bank, but accidentally setting the currency on fire. Overall, not a huge loss, financially, but it did cost the community a good resource.

Though I'm a newbie, I've been following Bitcoins for about the past 2 years, and I'm actually ready to invest a bit into the market.

And on my main website, I have a "donate bitcoins" button right next to the PayPal "donate" button (and since I live off of donations as a member of the clergy, in exchange for the work I've done, I'm happy to have a medium which is largely anonymous).
