That's not true everywhere. My transferwise from EU to Asia takes a good week to arrive and still costs more than Bitcoin and significantly more than any altcoin or lightning network.

Fixing these issues on a per-country basis is most likely easier than the necessary adoption for crypto to replace these mechanisms altogether.

I get what the GGGP's point is, but the baseline to compare with is the EU IBAN system, not the US banking system.

Where are you importing to?! To Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia I’ve never had anything take more than 24hrs
