Given the irreversibility of Bitcoin, I am surprised that MC wants to be exposed to them. Interestingly, I don't see them including coinage, though barter is also confusing. They currently honor chargeback claims. Will they stop doing so? If a payment is a combination of credit, barter, and bitcoins, how would they handle a chargeback claim? This is a perplexing financial device they are building.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
