Independence from banks is what we love cryptocurrency for. The network operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and this is certainly a huge plus when performing transactions. In addition, as you have already seen the Commission for transfers is just a penny.
Over time, this market will get stronger and I am sure people will start using cryptocurrency more often as part of money transfers. The only problem while I see a Commission when buying bitcoin for Fiat to start using it. While it is 5-10% - it will disappoint users.
