Quote from: BTCVC For years we have relied on Visa and Mastercard and have consistently bent to their will so that we could use their service. Merchants and Consumers alike understand that for years, these transaction fees have been a necessary part of doing business. No more! There are now virtual online commodities like Bitcoin that allow feeless or near-feeless transactions. As Bitcoin continues to take off, it will no doubt be attacked by these payment processors, angry because they are being cut out of their share. Visa and Mastercard need to embrace online transferable commodities or go the way of the Travel Agent. If people want to use them because of “convenience” or “status” that’s fine, but there are perfectly suitable, free alternatives available. The usurper of the Travel Agent’s job has been sites like travelocity, expedia, and orbitz. There are many online transaction services stepping in to wrangle control away from the big guys, it is just a matter of time before one of them is successful. Simplifies a lot of things, but I bet it is true. Title: Re: A web user comments about Bitcoin on Forbes.com's article about Visa/MC fees. Post by: rinict on May 18, 2022, 08:12:12 PM For a really long time, we have depended on Visa and Mastercard and have reliably adapted to their will with the goal that we could utilize their administration. Vendors and Shoppers the same comprehend that for quite a long time, these exchange expenses have been a vital piece of carrying on with work. That's it! There are presently virtual web-based wares like Bitcoin that permit feeless or close feeless exchanges. As Bitcoin keeps on taking off, it will almost certainly be gone after by these installment processors, irate on the grounds that they are being removed of their portion.
