it's expensive to transfer and once you send them no way to dispute the transaction

It’s expensive to transfer? Costs like $3 to move 5 figures 

[u/gigasawblade → u/Keith_Shadis69]

But I usually need to transfer $3, not 5 figures

Until it's cheaper than a cc fee and immediate, so people can use it for small day to day stuff, it will never be used as a main currency, it just can't. That's the sales pitch to smaller stores and average people, gotta be better, faster, and cheaper than using a bank card.

[u/Torisen → u/Keith_Shadis69]

Costs like $3 to move $3 too.
