im thinking that mastercard knows the dollar is soon going to bust, and is maybe attempting to bring some positive features and uses of bitcoin into focus..
It would be odd for Mastercard to promote Bitcoin in private (to legislators) but not in public. So obviously they want it regulated further or banned.
odd to keep future business plans and strategies a secret???
can you tell me Apples next big invention, afterall you must know all strategies as its in your public domain, but not mine apparently
can you tell me the 'secret' ingrediant to KFC chicken batter, as businesses you know of dont keep secrets.
but with all of that said. this is very much the truth:
Bitcoin network itself will continue to exist outside of any rules.
but i will want to see what mastercard proposes to stop businesses from trading bitcoin. i wish we could go back to the days when monopolizing a industry was not allowed and competitiveness was the mindset of man.
so far no bitcoin business accepts paypal or mastercard to buy bitcoins (well not any that can accept the risk legitimately). and as such mastercard would earn more profit by actually sorting out their chargeback system to make their card more appealing to non bitcoin business, aswell as getting bitcoin exchanged to offer mastercard payment methods also
