For the first time i should say that this topic doesn't belong to the press section but to off-topic +/- Bitcoin discussion.
It doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin nor cryptocurrencies, but it rises a discussion about the benefits of crypto basing on the failure of credit cards...
I already reported the same topic hours ago and it was deleted so I will ask you sncc to move it to another place for discussion.
I disagree. This highlights the fact that competing payment options are experiencing problems too, so it is not just Bitcoin that went through scaling problems. It also highlights the flaws in centralized networks. This also gives Bitcoiners ammunition against all these Fiat shills that these payment options are not infallible.
There is definitely a need for us to announce these failures to all Bitcoiners, because they are our competition.
What do people use, if their primary payment network fails? Bitcoin gives them a alternate payment option, when this happens.
