* Whereas traditional bank costs are typically many cents per transaction.

* One of the few truly global currencies.
* Payments are public globally, whereas data may be either public or encoded.
* Transaction data can be publicly linked depending on the use case.

### **Fast**

* Low value and data transactions can be accepted by a user wallet without confirmation.
* Larger values can be confirmed (“will be mined”) by the infrastructure within seconds.
