Just had one of those classic TradFi moments at the Barcelona airport car rental. The queue was building up behind me, and the poor manager at the desk looked completely exhausted, like he'd been fighting payment systems all day.
My main neobank card, which I knew had more than enough funds for the deposit, just wouldn't go through. You expect these things to clear instantly when you've got the balance, right? It really makes you appreciate the speed and finality you often see with
$BTC or
$ETH transactions.
This kind of friction in everyday finance is exactly what drives so many of us towards decentralized solutions. Imagine a world where that deposit just settles without a hitch.
