This is BS. $4 fees for 10 min transactions? This was in the past. With segwit adoption increasing and lightning network coming, this image is irrelevant. Also, speed is not everything. I'd prefer a slower coin than a coin that is significantly more centralized and cryptographically insecure.

It's taking it completely out of context. It's like comparing Bitcoin with a bank order which takes several days to clear. Bitcoin shouldn't really be compared to any payment methods used by fiat currencies. You can compare Bitcoin to Cash at a fundamental level if you want, but comparing it with payment processors/methods isn't something that should happen.
