It's really not that amazing that they are scared.
Either Bitcoin or some other crypto currency has the potential to become a big player in the financial systems of the future.
Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

they realized this so they are trying to keep their customers from using payment system like bitcoin instead of their system. or at least make them think twice when they want to use bitcoin,.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

With every new p2p technology comes a scared middleman trying to protect his profits.
Cryptocurrency brings the person to person transactions of paper money to the electronic world.

Ehh, no surprise a credit card company would be worried about crypto currencies. I wouldn't take a word they say into consideration. They're trying to talk rubbish to the currency that will most likely replace it.

this shows that they have lost some considerable users or at least they have seen a growth in using bitcoin instead of their service, otherwise they wouldn't give a shit about bitcoin being safe or the things they mentioned in the article.

i think they will join it at this point, they will join it in some way, for example like they are doing right now, with the costruction of their own blockchain, or maybe they will use the bitcoin blockchain to save money and time..if they are smart enough

When we try to purchase anything off the internet with our credit cards, there's every chance that we might get stolen.

With bitcoin, there's no chance to even find out the wallet.

People are not willing to use credit cards and get robbed in small time payment when they know they have better options.

So yeah, they should be worried.

The "current blockchain process" doesn’t provide sufficient transparency, it says, and regulation should require all transactions to go through regulated and transparent administrators, which would be supervised by relevant domestic, European or global authorities.

It is not that simple. Normally, if our credit card information gets stolen (mostly as a result of negligence) and it is used for some rogue transaction, the bank will refund the money after a simple investigation. But in case of Bitcoin, if someone steals the wallet password and transfer all the coins out of it, they are gone for ever.

Funny, yeat all bitcoin debit cards are MasterCard...

I think Xapo is using VISA. Maybe other Bitcoin companies should switch to VISA or other companies if MasterCard doesn't like that kind of business.

Come on let's be serious: is there any difference between VISA and MC?
For me it's like coca cola and pepsi. They seem at war but both of them have huge profits.

Anyone who is into BTC at this stage sure as shit isn't going to listen to what Mastercard says. If and when the public in larger numbers starts to embrace it it'll be too late for them to influence the way they're thinking anyway.

They're not doing themselves any favours with this attitude. It does make for excellent quote material to annoy them in the future though when they relent and start to process it.
