@prologic The people who wanted to rely on Visa, Mastercard or any other giant company with already too much control over peoples finances and ability to do business, completely missed the whole point of crypto, to begin with.
Or at least the point, that sadly became secondary, to "extracting money from gullible idiots, to overall benefit the already wealthy".
@thecanine I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Visa and Mastercard have decided to place their crypto dabbling on hold. Who wanted to rely on Visa and Mastercard, which also "missed the whole point of crypto, to begin with”? You lost me there.
@bender Yeah, I fully understand Mastercards and Visas decision on this. I'm just saying, that the people invested in crypto, who want it to become mainstream, shouldn't forget, that the main reason it got popular, was people wanting a financial system, that governments and big companies wouldn't be able to monitor, rule over, manipulate or ban anyone from. So why do some of them cry, over these big companies like Visa or Mastercard, not wanting to be involved now?
There were even those, who tried pushing crypto, as one of the main currencies in their countries - and that just ain't it either. Just look at what happen to El Salvador, after they tried doing this, with Bitcoin.
These things might sound nice on paper, to cryptobros and holders, but I think they go against, what crypto was meant to be.
