If I want to pay someone in Indonesia the equivalent of 100 USD, this needs to happen:

a) sell a suitable amount of bitcoin on the local bourse
b) redraw the local fiat to my local bank
c) order a wire transfer in my local bank
d) the local bank needs to order that in one of my country's internationally connected banks.
e) the sum is converted to dollars
f) that bank must order a wire from its account in an international bank like deutche bank
g) the wire arrives in an internationally connected bank's foreign bank account
h) the sum is converted to rupiah
i) the sum is moved from the local banks account in the big Indonesian bank
j) the sum is moved to the customers account
k) the customer must send the fiat to his local exchange
l) the customer must sell his fiat on the exchange
m) the customer must retrieve his bitcoins

So may smart people here, could this procedure be streamlined?
