What an ignorant article. It's unrealistic to expect cryptocurrencies to behave as flawlessly as wire transfers. The technologies need to mature. But for those with patience, they're pretty awesome.

Wire transfers are $35.

You'd think that BTC would be able to be cheaper than that.

To be fair, BTC transfers cost a couple cents at most. If we're going to compare apples to apples.

If you do an international wire and change currencies you'll pay much more than $35.
