"I am not aware of the ability to send Bitcoin without some intermediating service"

I thought some of you might like to read this comment. I was debating this guy for a while until he finally spit this sentence out:

I didn't misrepresent anything. How is "sending [XYZ] unlimited distance without a third party" unique at all? How is this any different than a wire transfer? I guess there is banking intermediation, but I am not aware of the ability to send Bitcoin without some intermediating service, either.

This absolutely baffled me, as he was confidently debating me for quite a while, then accidentally admitted he thought bitcoin required an "intermediating service". I called him out and he has since not responded...lol.
