What coinbase and dell do is their business.

Posting the same thing (which incidentally is an argument from authority) without reading what *I* posted, after calling out other people for not reading? thats not smart.

You even failed to understand the pretty pictures that brg444 posted - your native language.

you keep using the red sentence, which contains the assertion "fully verified". You think that means something, but if your google fu was up to it you'd know that "fully verified" is an arbitrary definition, based on math. It's a function of assumed network conditions and acceptable risk.

This is *exactly* what i stated in my prior post. That you ignored, or didn't understand, or don't care to acknowledge because you just want a fight OTI?

What is it about "we're discussing how things are, not how they could be" that's so difficult for you to grasp? You are trying to defend RodeoX's lulzy claim, here:

... Bitcoin is the single greatest development in payments since the credit card. There is nothing faster, cheaper, or more secure. ...

I pointed out that CC transactions are far faster than Bitcoin.
I gave you real life examples of how long BTC transactions take.
You and your buddy countered with how things could be, in theory.

I don't care how things could be in theory, RodeoX's claim didn't read: "Bitcoin ... is utter shit for now, but, in theory, it could be awesome." His claim was that Bitcoin IS faster. It clearly is not.

In theory, both Communism and Christianity lead to righteousness and bliss. Practice proves otherwise.

TL;DR: If you'd like to discuss how good Bitcoin could theoretically become, let's level the playing field and discuss how good a Credit Card could become. In theory.
