Examples, you want to buy banana on the way while driving from a hawker, will you use bitcoin to pay the bananas? Because the way I am looking at it, it is possible but the delay in transfer is the concern here. Bitcoin transfer is not like the bank transfer in which we received instant allert within 2-3 minutes time.

I don't know your definition of a hawker but I haven't seen that many in intersections carrying a PoS either, so why do we compare banks and credit cards in this situation with Bitcoin?

The point Bitcoin’s trying to make by existing isn’t that it’s gonna be better than the banks.

It is true that paying with bitcoin is often not the most convenient thing to do, at least not for now. Keep in mind that Bitcoin was created only 14 years ago which is a very short amount of time in the grand scheme of things so it will take some time to properly implement low cast and fast bitcoin transfers.

It's no longer the 20 century anymore, Uber is just as old as Bitcoin, Nokia was selling the 5320 in the hundreds of millions, Stripe didn't exist, and neither was Instagram which I really don't think was that much of a pace forward at all. Things change fast these days, how many were using mobile banking in 2009? We're at 3 billion now!

Besides, we will never be able to "implement" fast bitcoin transaction, and it will take a decade before everyone moves to LN, not because they don't want but because it would be technically impossible to!

You can set a fee that will most likely ensure that your transaction will be in the next block, but that can still take up to 10 minutes to get confirmed,

Block 800805 yesterday evening was late 48 minutes, enough for my next block tx fee to next 6 blocks, and we're talking about weekend!
