I’ve been having a lot of discussions lately around the current payment landscape, and I’m slowly getting better at explaining the trade offs between the different options.

I drew something like this comparison matrix on the whiteboard the other day, and I think it sums it up nicely. Bitcoin is the only option which marks a yes in all three categories: fast, cheap, and international.

It’s also the only one that marks a yes in just the first two categories: fast and cheap.

What do you think? Did I miss anything or how could it be improved?
