Disadvantages;
* it can be time consuming
How is it time consuming? Your assessment is ambivalent. I saw your account was registered barely four days ago and I believe this comment is contradictory. Perhaps, you should revisit this topic a year later to judge if you actually meant what you said here now. For all I know, apart from a few times in the past where the chains were congested and transactions were a bit lower, there are no financial transactions that are faster than doing it through cryptos. I've been waiting for two working days now to be credited for a fiat transfer I did to a trading platform. Were it a crypto transfer I'm sure it wouldn't have taken more than 1hr to reflect in my account. Now I understand why Satoshi said Bitcoin would cut off middlemen.
You're right, I'm sure he doesn't understand the specifics of bitcoin and there's no reason to say it's time consuming, crypto transactions are the fastest of any transaction because you can transfer btc to anyone anywhere in minutes. So when he finds out that time-consuming explanations are wrong, then I'm sure he will "strikethrough" that point.
