Re: Bitcoin is not serving its purpose ANYMORE transfer waiting 48hr even paid high
The way things are going in 100 years we're going to argue that it's still faster than intergalactic bank transfers.
You've just confused apples with oranges.
A blockchain cannot compete in speed with a centralized database (VISA). Whoever expects that has misunderstood... everything.
Bank transfer is different than card payment. National bank transfers take 1-3 days. International takes sometimes +1 day.
Intergalactic ones will be trickier unless faster than speed of light communication is developed
so I won't take them into discussion for now, since blockchain will suffer from the same impediment.Back to reality: just read about people trying to transfer fiat from their bank account (for example to Kraken) and wait for days.
