> it shouldn't take more than a couple hours
That's simply not true. It takes days for most banks to "settle their books", before which any money they've transferred hasn't really gone anywhere.
For day-to-day expenses for us common folk that's not really a concern but for big sums of money the recipient will want a little more certainty of the transaction having completed.
This is another good point. Even for day-to-day transactions, VISA is not instant. The only thing that's instant is the authorization that you can spend X amount of money. But the actual transfer of funds from customer account to merchant account takes days. Whereas, again, with Bitcoin or crypto, it's minutes to settle.
I really hope that's the case, for Zoom's sake. Unfortunately, that means less than nothing to me; I don't use Zoom, whilst I do use Keybase.
I don't trust Zoom to be custodians of the Keybase company or software. This has been a real blow to my confidence in them and I'm not sure I'll continue to use Keybase :(
I think for most people this will go towards having a professional fix their bike. Even simple repairs/maintenance is too much for most people and they'd rather pay someone to take care of it.
I think this is exactly it. A lot of people have bikes already but they're a little run down and this might be the encouragement they need to get them fixed.
The fact is that most people can't do even the simplest repairs on their own bike and if their bike is run down then they're less likely to use it.
While they do charge per address for the smallest account size, the Premium subscription includes a few for free and it's very cheap to add additional domains.
I use 6 domains with them; a few from the Premium tier and a few I added as extras. I also get my VPN through Proton and the whole thing costs less than 15USD per month.
As already mentioned in this thread, the interface to handle all this is fantastic too.
I expect Parent either meant nation as a synonym for "country".
nation is defined as:
na•tion
n.
A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country.
n.
The territory occupied by such a group of people.

This can take weeks with some banks too.
