Bitcoin is way behind visa because it sucks as a payment system. Have you ever tried buying something in bitcoin?

The fees are insane and nearly all merchants require multiple confirmations which can take over an hour.

Try Bitcoin Cash. It's Bitcoin as it was intended. Transactions are practically free, and zero-conf hasn't been crippled by RBF!
