Bitcoin has some very serious problems with governance (code and policy governance that is, regulation governance is finally starting to happen, whether it will be good for bitcoin remains to be seen) which has led to very serious throughput problems (standard bitcoin can handle only 7tx/sec maximum, visa does up to 4,000tx/sec on it's busiest days) and cost problems (constrained throughput has pushed up transaction fees considerably compared to just a year ago). Bitcoin could increase it's maximum block size to 512MB to compensate but that would drastically increase the size of the blockchain as well as increase the cost of mining, how much that would decrease transaction fees is harder to determine.
