It took weeks to move big money around.

Lol this is just either a statement out of ignorance or a complete lie. Wire transfers didn't take weeks. Checks didn't take weeks to clear, and most people aren't moving "big money" via fucking cash app either.

"Big money" isn't paying half for an Uber unless you're like 16 years old.

In europe i can send any amount (like up to 100k ) in just a few days since 20 years, to anyone with a bank account in europe, from my computer or phone.

Also, since 2025 every bank allows me to send istant money to any other bank account. For free.
