I can't imagine anything more convenient than waiting around for over two hours to ensure my transaction is confirmed: https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_confirmation_...

Confirmation time has also recently spiked to over two days.

BTC has many of the attributes of an asset like gold, but as a currency, transaction times make it something of a bust.

This article is really about the payment processor Flexa and it would be more relevant to discuss the user experience with that

Maybe they really accept other crypto assets

Maybe they subsidize transaction fees for some time

Maybe they broadcast later

Maybe they accept 0 confirmation
