I found all the answers to my questions unsatisfied. It seems everyone only see the transportation part of the work, but totally forgot human/machine processing at different stages. Mail doesn't just jump on a truck and then jump off the truck. The process is much more complicated and expensive than that.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoSure, none of these answers are 100%, but IMO the rough calculation is so heavily against Bitcoin that I don't see how it could catch up.
- camjohnson26 6y agoI don’t know about that, there’s so many advantages to a digital transaction over a physical one that you can accept a lot of extra cost. Send any amount of money in about 30 minutes with absolute guarantee that it won’t be rolled back is a powerful ability. Shipping boxes of cash may be cheaper in energy expenses but has lots of risks and inefficiencies of its own.
- temp8964 6y agoYour assumption is that transportation takes the majority of the mailing cost. I don't think it is self-evident. Do you have any data to back it up?
