Few things will radicalize you more to a permissioned, decentralized network than trying to get a payment before a holiday.

I was trying to pay some tax and send a wire before the calendar year end.

Couldn't pay the tax because the website had a login issue and the phone lines were down (new years eve holiday?).

If they used bitcoin, they could post their tax payment address publicly, I wouldn't have to login, I could send a payment from a doxxed address and they would credit my balance.

This is basic stuff.

Couldn't get the wire out before the cutoff and now bank holiday. Meanwhile I'm rebalancing coins any hour of the day to my hearts desire.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but next time someone says bitcoin isn't useful please share these very practical examples of why bitcoin fixes this.
