Reuters reported earlier this morning that Visa and Mastercard are pausing their respective "crypto pushes" due to fears about the regulatory uncertainty that looms over the industry after the year of epic grift collapses in 2022. Their source for Visa was someone who preferred to remain anonymous, but it seems that they were able to get a Mastercard spokesperson on record to comment on the rumors, which they seemed to confirm. Not only did the Mastercard spokesperson confirm that they have decided to hit the brakes on any foray into "crypto", they rolled out a trope from 2015 that any corporation should be embarrassed to utter in 2023, "We're bullish on the underlying blockchain technology." https://tftc.io/martys-bent/issue-1325-mastercard-is-falling-prey-to-the-innovators-dilemma/

Underlying technology. 🙂 A blockchain is useless without decentralization and hash power. And it has to support something virtual with rules and no ruler.

Visa and Mastercard officially denied that bullshit report and they both directly confirmed that they are putting all their efforts into crypto.🌹

Sorry to hear about the norovirus. My wife and I got it. Bedridden for 36 hours, unable to move or have the lights on. Easily the worst I’ve felt in a decade. Glad you’re over it now. If the rest of your family didn’t get it yet, tell them to prepare.
