I had transferred some units of Bitcoin into my wallet and it wasn't slow at all and I received it nonetheless. Maybe it is not still good for things like if you are buying in a fastfood and you are in a queue where the transactions must be almost instant, so for that BTC is still not a viable option.
Maybe for some stores it can be used where "waiting for the payment to go through" is not an issue since payments or transactions although slow at times can show "confirming" thereby putting the seller and the buyer the confidence that their trade is good. But many actually are using it to buy their stuffs in the Internet and as time goes by we will widely accept not only Bitcoin but other cryptocurrencies for almost all our financial needs.
So most of us will really accept that cryptos like Bitcoin is one of the best thing that happened for the history of humanity. I can attest to this fact because of the support that I get from the community for my medical needs and goals for my health. But now my plans will get deferred because of my brother's ill health as I have to give him some help through my efforts to #fundraise for him while I am fundraising for myself too.
Well I don't know why problems kept on pounding on me one after the other relentlessly as if fate doesn't want me to excel in this lifetime. But I sure won't give up and win my battles because cryptos are in my side thanks to steem blockchain we have our steemit community that empowers us and gives us hope so at least we can have a chance in this life that to some folks like me is as hard as a nut to bite on while I have no teeth.
