There is a lot of crypto projects on the card. Moreover, Mastercard and Visa began to work in this field. If these companies offer strong blockchain support, it can be valuable in the future.

Let's wait and see what form this will really take, I heard they were partnering with ibm to use their blockchain for mastercard payments and transactions, that might not mean the use of any cryptocurrency at all. I also don't ever want fractional reserves in bitcoin, that only leads to problems as we've seen many times over throughout history..

That is very good. If it's done by MasterCard, then each transaction process will be easier and faster. Bitcoin will have ATM machines in various parts of the world

Where is my ring of blades...
...maybe transactions between fiat and crypto will occur in seconds.

I can't really understand what this has to do with bitcoin and what the hell MasterCard is doing! but about this part I have to say what we are aiming for is that we reach a stage where you don't need to exchange fiat and bitcoin anymore. so in the end it won't matter what they do when bitcoin is already a working currency which you can use for anything that you use fiat for.

That is a very good news. A lot of people look for easy way to transact their money from crypto to fiat and this will help them a lot. It will also help the people of the countries where the crypto is banned, as such transaction through bank requires the mention of the source of income, which in this case will not be needed.

Is this what you're talking about?

Kind of old news, but services like this are only really useful until Bitcoin can scale in my opinion. Why go through third-party services when you can transact directly, right?

Either way, this is only a patent. This doesn't mean that they're guaranteed to push the idea through. They could simply be sitting on it to stop competitors from going ahead.

Well, it is not surprising because master card can do more improvements now even in the future. In fact they are not catering their own benefits but they catered the whole aspect of their business area which process and improvements are necessary to be done immediately in order to be viral to attract more costumers and investors.

       This is really a good news for cryptocurrency and as I understand this move of Master card is they want to expand and align their service to some of the shops and Mall that also accepted cryptocurrency as payments , and the world were using cryptocurrency in every transaction little by little .

I would have been more excited at the news that a financial sector is incorporating bitcoin into its list of available payment options. And it could be accepted at regular ATMs.
A centralized cryptocurrency sounds like just another form of fiat currency but built rather on the blockchain technology.
It would surely be good for publicity as people would become more familiar with the term 'cryptocurrency'

This is inevitable and last time it was the Visa CEO so they are now getting into cryptocurrencies. I'm guessing that the next big player would be PayPal going into crypto with their confirmation.

Well, if bitcoin allows mastercard to exchange or transact, it'll really be like two birds in one stone. But it might not necessarily combine those, as the transaction doesn't have the physical entity to be with the fiat coins. But the source of mastercard might be the same.
