I pay for my monthly satellite TV subscription with a bank transfer and for some obscure reason I forgot to pay it this month. I was still watching the World cup Cricket tournament, when a message popped up, saying that my account was in the arrears and they blocked my viewing.
I immediately logged into my internet Banking and checked my payment history and realized that I skipped that payment for some reason, so I made the payment and thought I would wait for a hour or two and then resume viewing. Noooot!
8 HOURS passed, I phoned the company and they informed me that the payment is not reflected on their system yet, so I waited another 4 hours and phoned them again.
A whole 21 hours later the payment went through and I could continue viewing, but the match I wanted to see was finished.
If I paid with Bitcoin, this same payment would have taken less than 20 minutes at most, but unfortunately this Satelite provider does not accept Bitcoin payment for this service.
I have a sad story like this your story too. In 2017 December, I decided to sell some of my coins because there were in profit and I called my localbitcoin buyer and we agreed on the price. We later finalized the price and we made smooth transactions. After three days I saw a land that I want to buy and I agreed with the seller also and we went into the banks to make a transfer only to be told that my account did not ought to receive such huge amount without verification. I told them that my account is verified and I have been using this same account for years only to be told that my account officer is on leaves and when he resumes the problem will be solved. Since then I regret open account with that bank and I later find out that banks are the same very greedy and selfish. I cannot wait for Bitcoin to be use as money and we can completely depend on it like we used bank now.I immediately logged into my internet Banking and checked my payment history and realized that I skipped that payment for some reason, so I made the payment and thought I would wait for a hour or two and then resume viewing.
