Faster transaction times? Do we really need that, and is that actually the case? I thought bitcoin could have transaction times of double digit minutes, while normal banking transactions here in Europe take 2 seconds

Bitcoin is not the only currency. I'm not saying faster transactions are active, but that is a goal for some currencies no? Wasn't aware if that first Europe. What about settle time then? That is, time it takes to verify a major transaction is legit?
