I had not realized that Bitcoin had surpassed Western Union already. But in hindsight I am not surprised, we have much higher expectations for bitcoin than beating western union at their own game.


great think I agree with you now bitcoin have many different types of service for  customer and very cheap service according to other western union bitcoin is better than western union because when use bitcoin that time transaction is very low and when customer sen money in world that time is no need third person but when use western union that time feel tried transaction fees costly and when you send money in world that time need third person

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Yes bitcoin is better than western union when it comes in other things. We got a lower transaction fee and you can remain anonymous. But you will still use Western union, they are one option to convert your btc into fiat. Still the same or even Western is more ahead of popularity in overseas workers.

Of course bitcoin is superior. Not only that western union operates on the fiat currency system, it carries large fees as demonstrated in OP(and they're proud of overcharging?!?!). Bitcoin can be used anywhere to send value to anyone anywhere. Unlike WU, you need to go to their office...

Bitcoin is not anonymous. Why people thinks this way, really read about it on forums or just type in google about bitcoin anonymity. It's not true bruh....

After googling western union there was no competitive adds for Bitcoin exchanges... Seems this would be an excellent opportunity for exposure.

Western union is far too expensive and a pain especially with all the verification process. I believe Bitcoin should and will take a lot fo business away from WU because of the cost involved and the time delay and verification which is all more cumbersome with WU but you haven't these problems with Bitcoin at all.

Maybe in the future western union will also adopt bitcoin because bitcoin will be a threat to them when it comes to sending money and people who know bitcoin will say to their family that i will not be using western union any more and will move to bitcoin.

Well i believe the people who work with Western will open their eyes and see they can save yearly around 2000or more dollars doing the same service with bitcoin,send money to others,the thing is that bitcoin needs to be present at all countries soo a person can buy and sell bitcoins.

bitcoin transaction is at low fees and western union charge so much fees, Most of the people not aware of the bitcoins, thats why they still using Western union. Only thing good about western its old and trustful.


yeah I agree with you friend bitcoin is better than from western union bitcoin have very good service when people need some goods and any thing they can get good and any thing very cheap with bitcoin but western union have that is no way


The great thing about bitcoin is that it has low fee compared to western union and other remitance center around the world and in bitcoin you dont have to give your information to the company before you can process your money when sending to your love ones.
Yes, with bitcoin we do not have to give our info and our loveone’s info to a third party, and with that while sending money we do not have to go to any remittance center we only need an internet connection and bitcoin.

Don't forget consider fees to exchange bitcoin to fiat if they can't spend their bitcoins or bitcoin legality in their country.
So, bitcoin is better than Western Union when bitcoin isn't illegal in their country and they can exchange it to fiat with fees lower compared to western union.

you are probably right but you are saying bitcoin isn't illegal then you don't know about it bitcoin is the illegal and western union not illegal they have everything proof and they got world wide proof so it can transaction anywhere, that's why its fees is too.

Everyone in this forum might be a user of western union in the past. Now bitcoin has took the place of western union in few users but it has not won all minds. The reason for this is bitcoin can be used only by users having atleast little knowledge in technology but Western Union has been used even by normal users.

Is there any country where bitcoin is illegal? Where bitcoin is banned by the government? I don’t think that it is in any country, currenctly everyone from all over the world is accepting bitcoin and the governments are easy with it.

No doubt Bitcoin transactions are much cheeper and faster mostly, but unfortunately sometimes we still should use Western Unoin because in many places it's very hard to convert Bitocins in real money. This will change in the future when Bitcoin will become more adopted.

Yeah bitcoin will be soon available in many countries just like western union did and people will use bitcoin more often that western union because of its cheap price.

This thread is going on and on, fanboy bitcoiners are never tired of repeating how better Bitcoin is while we all know that a business based in local offices and cash payments on site is impossible to maintain. And lately with all the confirmations delays and doubts around the blockchain size to me is pretty clear why WU still is number one.

Again, if you think Bitcoin is far superior, just go and open a competitor company. Go buy some offices and expose yourself to money exchanges fluctuations and all sorts of hazards.

Bit coin is better only because its all online and transactions are smooth and cost effective since no office or money transfer charges are to be beared but on other side western union is better as well service wise and they are the one who introduced fast money transfer phenomena to the people of the world.

Indeed, its a lot faster than other currency's and also the fact is that the bitcoin has a much better security, its not limited to any country.
You can use the bitcoin in every country so that is pretty sweet if you ask me, you can easily transfer money to a relative, pretty fast, with western union this is not the case at all..
