Marinecoin - Bitcoin and Ethereum have a bright future. But in that there are some limited bitcoin aspects of high transfer charges and speed is not fast.
You need to walk out of your cave more often. The cost of sending a BTC transaction is 10 satoshi per byte (for the first block transaction of course). That's the cheapest it has been for years and much cheaper than using paypal or western union. THe speed of the transaction is usually around 10 min, as it's rare to send a transaction a minute after the block, you usually land somewhere in the middle.
