I'm not sure what hilarious point you are trying to make. Bitcoin has fundamental limitations in its current form that exclude it from being a payment processor like the banks/credit cards do. Are you aware that that limit is about 4.6 transactions per second? Visa alone is capable of handling 24 000 transactions per second:

What is actually being proposed is that Bitcoin is the horse and buggy, attempting to replace a Ferrari. Thanks for the analogy, it works!
