Has anyone suggested that this is a move towards the collapsing of the current debt economies. If you are in debt to the credit card companies, you are forced to maintain your relationship with them. They know that as the debt economy collapses, they will have to start seizing assets ( including houses ), and they are going to have to cover the extra costs. It will be interesting to see how they manage to include credit in the new fake crypto services they will be introducing.
And to my knowledge there is quite a number of people who have substantial debt on credit cards, at least in my countries. For many credit card limits looked more afordable to some people than the classic bank loans but they didn't realise it's actually a trap. Once your in, it's very hard to get out and credit card providers will make huge profit on them, this way or another.
As far as services related to cryptocurrencies are involved, I think that Visa and Mastercard should spread they offers in order to maintain and spread the business.
