You know, I did international payment between banks yesterday. It was horrible, the recipient should wait min 5 business days! "Are you crazy, too slowly for 2018?!" I hope Bitcoin will help change economy, and first will be of course transactions between people.
Yes. Since the BTC was born all payments became faster. The first is fast and the cost is low. Do not use a lot of tools and tools to support payments. Second BTC also generated revenue and raised capital in the market. This has helped many businesses, large corporations have abundant capital to invest in the national economy.
