Why do you need to wait for a bank to open on the weekends to do business? Close a deal?

Why wait after 6pm to get your banking done?

Why can you not settle transactions faster. Avoid chargebacks, and stop paying fee's for simply using money?

We believe Nano offers a solution, but their value proposition is so simple it may be the reason why mass adoption is taking time.
