First, you are conflating settlement of securities with money transfers, two different things.
Next, I can transfer money in Europe (SEPA) settling immediately, for a tiny fee ($0.30 or so).
Finally, I've had BTC transactions in the mempool for 16 hours or more, hanging in there without any confirm. They might just drop out, or they might eventually be included in a block - who knows. Not exactly a predictable and reliable money transfer.

- powerhour 4y agoI've experienced this as well. The "and then what" is a big unknown. Is the BTC "gone" forever? Who knows.
