Bitcoin Blockchain Initial Sync Time Dramatically Reduced By Headers-First Sync http://ow.ly/2PjOs0
What have Very Serious People done for you lately? or ever? Why should be so eager to appease them and have their approval?
Dealing with banks feels like being asked to use a fax machine in 2014. Usually, the banks ask me to use a fax machine too.
Of course, all the banking delays are asymmetric. They earn fees instantly. It’s only “money out” that takes 3-5 days.
In the US, twenty two years later, it takes 3-5 business days to setup.
When I was a student in the UK in 1993, I could do same-day (instant) transfer from any to any bank in the UK for zero fee.
Banks don’t “fix” the thing that creates profits. If forced to do so, in the name of consumer rights, they exit that business, like Citi did
In banking “3-5 business days" inconvenience is not due to a lack of technology. Make no mistake: It is a profit-center for the banks
Congratulations to @BenDoernberg and @ummjackson who both blew the whistle on Moolah months ago, to howls of disapproval. They were right.

Due to overwhelming demand (THANK YOU!) for the book, the online sales (by me, in bitcoin) are temporarily suspended. Try O’Reiily or Amazon
The charity donation for a signed copy is now $10. Since every single order of the book included it, the donation amount was increased.
Just reached $1000 in charity donations, via the charity author signing option for my book. Order a signed copy at http://bitcoinbook.info
