I’ve transferred a few million dollars with CurrencyFair by now, the transfer across continents has always been less than 24hrs, the notification from my bank arriving before the emitter tells me it’s sent; only 4$ per transaction (so 0.003%) and the rate always within 0.5% of the stock exchange (less than the 2-3% it costs with Bitcoins).

Therefore the point of faster settlement and less burocracy doesn’t stand unless you are selling weapons, which proves that Bitcoin is only useful for criminal schemes.
