So if you must to compare Bitcoin with something else. Make this comparisation the first then year of Bitcoin and that thing.
For example Visa (mostly compared with Bitcoin) was established in late 1958. And it started their international size of work in 1974!
[Bitcoin has made it in a few years].
You can read all history of Visa here:
https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/our_business/history-of-visa.htmlApple Pay was launched in 2013, is doing close to 1 billion transactions a quarter year and has 250 million users.
For comparison, there are 30 million addresses with a balance in the blockchain, and 400 million transactions registered in the blockchain.
Paypal was launched in 1998, in 10 years they had over 100 million active users.
You can't compare
BTC in terms of mass adoption with any of those.
I don't know why people insist that
BTC is doing everything better than anyone, faster and cheaper and ...
No, it doesn't and won't be able to do it!!
Bitcoin will be good at doing some things better than traditional systems and will suck at doing other things compared to traditional systems.
Bitcoin might be safer than a visa card but there is no one getting you a refund.
Bitcoin is better than sending money via WU but good luck getting a credit line...from...Satoshi?
Bitcoin is faster and cheaper than interbank transfers but it's not compared to a bank to bank transfer.
You can load your Visa Card with bitcoin but right now you can't pay directly without a 3rd party like bitpay or coingate to 99% of the merchants that "accept" bitcoin.
Why do some of you need to act like being some sort of cultist that every hour shout bitcoin is great, bitcoin is the absolute truth, kill the infidels?
Nothing is perfect in this world, certainly not the banks and visa since otherwise, we wouldn't have
BTC but neither is
BTC or we woulnd't still be using bitcoin visa cards and wiring fiat to exchanges via banks.
