Yesterday I had to wire some earnest money to a seller since they don't use anything to make it easier and weren't interested in learning. I had to visit my bank to complete the #wiretransfer. It took an hour plus travel time and cost me $25 for the service. I'll need to complete another wire transfer which will total $50 in fees and at least two hours of my life for the balance due when we settle the deal. This morning I transferred over 4x value that the wire transfers will be, I did it from my desk, it took around 15 minutes to settle and it cost me the equivalent of $1.65 in #fiat. It is so obvious that #bitcoin is better than banking and its not even close. #learnbitcoin
