Sorry, bitcoin does solve a problem for the masses! You use bitcoin to easily and securely send money to anyone in the world for very low cost!
Let's examine the competition:
Bank transfer (ACH/wire/SEPA/etc) - 3-4 business days + big fees
Personal check / money orders - mailing time + 3-4 days to clear + small fees (also your mail can be lost by carrier)
Cash - instant + no fee BUT you have to be in the same physical location. or take the risk of losing all by sending cash in mail
Paypal - instant, but expensive fees to receive money (i think like 2-3%). also paypal can freeze your money for whatever reason they want
Western Union / Moneygram - same day transfer + big fees
Bitcoin - instantly received, spendable within 30 minutes to 1 hr. transaction fee of roughly 5 cents
True that, its the most easy way to send money at this time. I just wish supermarkets and grocery stores start to accept BTC. Anyone know of any supermarket or grocery store accepting BTC at this time?
Hopefully if Amazon starts accepting it, some supermarkets may follow.
