It's been several days since I've requested a wire and the company debited that balance from my account. There is no sign of the wire anywhere. I assume, I will eventually get it. It will cost me $30 if there are no intermediates (international wire), but more like $45 I imagine.

The first two are so far from the truth that it's really hard to believe you're being sincere.

As for the third, you've clearly not dealt with wire transfers very much. Dealing with SWIFT for example is infinitely more difficult than using bitcoin.
