    Cryptocurrencies were made to avoid shit like this. Good luck gently ask mastercard and visa to change their policies.

      Cryptocurrencies were a poorly thought out excuse to use block chain. Don’t give them any more credit than that.

        Your comment makes no sense. Bitcoin was definitely made to be a decentralized alternative and the blockchain was part of that.

          Nah, bitcoin was made to make some people rich and succeeded at that. What you’re repeating is the story they used to sell it to people like you.

            You are commenting in a thread about mastercard and visa policing payments and still in denial about someone coming up with a decentralized alternative?

            Lmao. I was having fun with it 10 years ago. Nowadays it’s true but not back then.

            That’s not true, it was made for the technology’s sake. The investment bullshit came way later.

        How do they suck? They have their pro and cons, i would still take them as an alternative to a for profit private corporation.
