Hmm... bad news.... MasterCard / Visa have billions of $$$ in their hands to do the lobbying. Unfortunately we don't even have 1% of that amount. Now the only realistic option is to align with the enemies of Master / Visa, such as Russia.

We should begin buying bitcoin with their cards just to pump wealth into btc.

There are few places you can buy bitcoin with credit cards, and I am sure MasterCard and Visa will be more than happy to have done more business lol.

This is interesting. I wonder how that will affect the BTC market going forward. I think the more big corps that sign on, the more valuable BTC might become?

Probably. And people will stop saying bitcoin is only for drugs and illegal activities (which is not true).

This lobbying activity clearly implies that the biggest payment processors, with trillions of dollars of annual turnover, are seriously considering Bitcoin as a threat or an opportunity. This explains the huge potential of the Bitcoin as a payment medium and its potential of reaching the $10,000+ price mark based on the expected upcoming demand!

I am on crypto and not going back.  Always felt like something was off with the economy.  People working their whole life, and dying with what...50K saved, if lucky?

You retire, big whup, you are 68 years old and all the spring is gone from your step.

You only got one life man, live it the way you want to!  Bitcoin will change that, IS changing that.  People will see real gains with honest money, and won't be practically dead when they have time to spend it and enjoy life.

Fk this feudal system bullshit, fk being a tax cow.

If Mastercard and Visa go belly up then I won't lose a wink of sleep over it!

As the famous quote goes, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"
