Yep. One of the main allures of credit card processing is that it's instantaneous. Bitcoin's confirmation system is a non-starter as a competitor against credit cards unless you have special circumstances that make it the only practical option (can't trust customers to refrain from filing chargebacks and/or conventional financial institutions won't have anything to do with your business). Ultimately, while Bitcoin may maintain some value, it's not very convenient as an everyday payment instrument (just like gold, actually).
