I can send money NOW on Western Union anywhere in the world and pay less for instant NOW transactions. Care to argue- go ahead

Let me know how much WU is charging for sending 100 000$ from Australia to Peru.
I know that with bitcoin I pay 4$ right now.

As long as you are looking bitcoin as transaction medium it is fine. Because, it is much faster than any other payment.
When you are looking this as a profit making investment then you need to have more patience.

Actually is not that fast,or cheap.. it depends on situation.
National bank transfers here are almost instant at 0 fee, I can send my friend 100 euros in matter of second from my phone and he will get it usually under a minute ready to be spent although there is a limit to 5000.

But when it comes to large sums involving international transactions (outside SEPA) then bitcoins rules.
