Title: Banking system + Government is paralyzing bitcoin Post by: jehst on January 25, 2015, 07:12:10 AM Coinbase/Circle = slow. Why? ACH system is old and shit.
Buying BTC with a credit card = expensive. Why? Credit card system is shit and full of fraud. Wire transfers to exchanges = slow, Why? SWIFT interbank transfer system is old and slow and shit. ETF approval = slow, Why? SEC is slow and shit. Chinese businesses like Baidu not accepting bitcoin = not happening. Why? Government As long as we try to be half in bitcoinland and half in governmentland, it's going to continue to suck. It's time to go 100% crypto. If you want USD, then just use bitUSD.

With SEPA wire transfers you get a garantueed maximum transaction time of one working day. Between certain banks, it's even down to about one hour! ;D Title: Re: Banking system + Government is paralyzing bitcoin Post by: jehst on January 25, 2015, 08:21:16 AM Great post however it's not really news, these things take tens of years to change unfortunately.
