Mastercard launches program to connect crypto blockchain payments with global banking, partnering with 85+ companies.
Many in the Bitcoin community are skeptical of large corporations and that’s understandable. But the reality is that we need them to accelerate adoption at a global scale. Convincing normies and normie businesses to adopt Bitcoin one by one simply isn’t moving fast enough.
If Bitcoin is going to reach billions of people, some level of collaboration with the existing financial system & politicians is needed.
