I can send BTC to my family and friends in Ukraine in seconds, no bank transfers, no middle man, no fees. Just a transfer of currency from my wallet to theirs.

It's really a beautiful thing.

As a result for investors, the price is rising once again. It will be interesting to see if more people realize the utility of cryptocurrencies after this.

By seconds, do you mean a few days?

There's a reason bitcoin isn't scalable, and that is a major reason.
