"Bitcoin the currency is very interesting, but not the blockchain."
Looks like bitcoin is expanding rapidly. 
Bitcoin definitely has a future in payments. It is one area where Bitcoin has huge advantages compared to existing systems. If Visa ignores Bitcoin, it may not have a future.
Large existing payments companies are “lowering the drawbridges” and working more openly with new players in the space, according to a Visa executive.
Jonathan Vaux, executive director of new digital payments and strategy at Visa Europe, was speaking at WIRED Money, held in London yesterday.
“I genuinely believe that by working together, we will succeed together. I think that the innovation that the startups bring is fantastic and that the scale the incumbents – the banks, the Visas of the world – can bring is really really valuable,” he said.

Formerly vice president at American Express, Vaux said bitcoin is very much on his radar:
“The one thing I often get asked about is bitcoin. I do see … a separation between the currency and the technology that sits under it. From the point of view of currency, I think that's interesting. As Visa, that's what we do – we manage currencies.”
