Mastercard wants Bitcoin
Mastercard got a patent that will allow them to conduct blockchain payments on their credit cards. No product has been released yet, but obviously, there is some interest if they wanted a patent for it. There are benefits to using cryptocurrency payments, such as security, but at the same time, the biggest concern is going to be time. Apparently, to make these transactions on credit cards, it would take significantly longer. This would provide a major inconvenience to everyone.
