I made a graphic to refute mastercard's recent statements about bitcoin:

I think the graphic does a good job of refuting the statement and should help to correct some of misconceptions about bitcoin.

Use, modify, distribute as you will. Thanks!

What's that Mastercard? You don't like people slandering your name?

In that case... here you go:


Edited so that Seizure is spelled right.

Good point, added to the original post. Also, I posted this in /r/bitcoin too and someone freaked out about the inflation thing. I know that there is currently inflation. I meant long term, but whatever. I took that out.

Mastercard does not actually have any kind of store of value. Using a mastercard credit card will only make it so you end up owing money and cannot actually store any assets with mastercard

The Transit Coin is on the way. help us to decide the path we have to follow:

Nice work. Mastercard and visa etc. are ways to extract rather than store value.

Lower fee and distributed control are a little misleading for bitcoin.

I'm going to be a grammar nazi for this post.

Please either change "Get your facts straight" to a different font or colour, or put a fullstop after "straight".

I rest my case.

I think the middle section should be a mixture of the outside section colors.  I know the middle words are supposed to represent both sides, but the stripes could confuse some people and make them think the words in the middle apply to one side or the other instead of both sides.  For instance, toward the top, illegal goods is on the bitcoin color and legal goods is on the mastercard color.  Anyone truly confused by this might read the rest of the list based on colors and just think it's stupid and wrong instead of realizing that they apply to both sides.

The statement "Store of value" should belong to bitcoin. Just to be fair towards this community. Btc price though has been decreasing but I can see that 300 usd seems to be the bottom support. Just bought my small stash at 350 so I expect to go up in years to come Smiley
