When you make a transfer from one bank to another, in reality it is a carrier pigeon, on the way it can be killed by a hunter's shot or delayed because it has started to fuck a pigeon.

This is how the SEPA and SWIFT system works.

Every time I interact with the traditional banking system it's all friction.

I don't understand how the common mortal doesn't realize it.

Last night I made an immediate transfer, so far no news.

Other times they have held the transfer for x reasons at both the sending and receiving bank.

On weekends and holidays, forget about it.

I use Lightning daily, Liquid and Bitcoin, 0 problems, all immediate, 365 days a year, no questions asked, no KYC.

It is irritating to have to deal with banks.
