In my experiences after transacting with both, I can say is that Bitcoin is much better than Western Union. My reason for that is because every time I transact through Western Union they charge a lot just to send an amount making me spend more than the amount that I only need to send. When compared to Bitcoin yes there might be some blockchain fee but at least its not that high compared to what Western Union is asking.

As I might want to think, Western Union ends up being a more secure technique for money trading and paying.Regardless,Bitcoin is obviously better due than its low trade charges, incredible security and straightforwardness.

I do not think so. Bitcoin has a lot of flaws.
Firstly, this is a large commission for small payments.
Secondly, payments are not always fast. For example, my last payment of $ 50 came only a week later.

I think there is no doubt Bitcoin is hundred times more better than any existing money transfer services in the market.I often use bitcoin to send money and receive money and it is cost effective,fast,secure and easy to perform than other methods.

You can not say that bitcoin is better than the western union but bitcoin is much higher compared to real money. But we can not say that the bitcoin is better because many people do not know it. And the western union is trusted by many citizens.

Unfortunately with bitcoin's current inefficiency (transaction cost and time are insane now) I am afraid that many people will turn they backs on bitcoin. It has been becoming a store of value only as of lately, but if the day comes that the value disappears or largely deminishes, I am afraid nothing will remain.
The bottom line is that bitcoin has been losing its currency properties over the years and what is left (store of value characteristics) may disappear as well.

Not really, Western union has the abiluty in which the sender can track and identify who is the reciever. Western union is secured in transferring money. Yah, There are some mistakes of their service but in securing money, Western union can do it. But Bitcoin is good. Securing money through Bitcoin is so nice. You can send Bitcoins anonymously, you doesnt need to put who are you.

If you need the answer to this question then you have to read this furom carefully amd study about bitcoin and then you already know about the answer. Bitcoin is realy more secure and faster than wistern union with a low transaction fee and hussle free unlike wistern union.

Western Union is a international remittance center in the whole world. I think bitcoin is more better than them. Since bitcoin provides a no transaction charge in all trades or transferring the amount. As long as your bitcoin wallet is same to the sender. They provide a smooth and fast transaction which you can save more time and less effort.

Yes, but the common bitcoyne is still better than the Western Union when it comes to remitting money, because it gives less fess and it quickly.

In terms of remittances I think bitcoin is more better than western union with the help of blockchain wallet. In bitcoin you can send money no matter where you are as long as there is a internet connection; fast, smooth and no manual procedures needed which is a great convenience for everybody which the western union does not have.

The thing about WU that puts frowns on the faces of people is with the fees they charge. At times, they seem a little too much. Because of that, there is no wonder why Bitcoin stood higher in the statistics.

The way I see it bitcoin is way more better than western union because bitcoin has a lot of advantages compared when transferring money using western union. Sending money with bitcoin you can remain anonymous along the process while the other need all the information about you and you need an ID when claiming the money.

Western Union is one of the reasons why bitcoin was made. Bitcoin was designed to transfer money from one currency to another with lesser fees. This was applicable only during the early ages of bitcoin. As the value of bitcoin increases, so does the fees. Now the fees are just crazy. And because a lot of people are using bitcoins, the transaction are getting longer to confirm.

If tih have been sending fund via western union before and you suddenly found yourself using Bitcoin to transfer fund you won't want to gonbaxk to using WU, because its Bitcoin is fast, less cost and reliable. The only challenge is you need to sell and for someone who needs to but

That's the spirit, day by day Bitcoin is becoming a popular platform and that's a probe. I think people are getting engaged in this platform. they are using and collecting Bitcoin for the payment method. Not only that but also Bitcoin is becoming a profitable currency so that people are getting involved in this system. Hopefully, Bitcoin will provide better service than any other system in the coming future. Your mentioned chart is enough to prove this prediction that Bitcoin will dominate in the coming monetary platform.

Western Union settled on a fine of $586 million due to allegations of criminal laundering... which makes me think .. how much money was being laundered? Therefore for me bitcoin is better
