I believe this is a bad news for the bitcoin community from what Satoshi has created to what these money-grubbing ceo is turning it into.Such a shame how the the concept of decentralization is being ruined.It is a well known fact that visa charges 1.5%-3% of on a transaction as a fee.The prime goal is to create more-and-more bitcoin accepting platforms rather than shifting the phase to traditional payment provider.I highly discourage such act of defiance.Such people should contribute more towards the community rather than filling their own pockets anyway possible.
