If anybody prior to the closing decades of the 20th century had said that they "want to be in the middle ... of every payment flow in the world regardless of how it happens or what the currency is behind it", they would have been locked away in a lunatic asylum.https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1055972265559449600 …
I will say this tho in this CEO's favor: at least he knows that Bitcoin is currency not a retail payment rail & bitcoin-on-Visa makes far more sense than a cryptocurrency's main blockchain trying to compete directly w/Visa. In that sense he is far ahead of most in this space.
That good knowledge sadly makes his nutty ambitions all the more dangerous for the rest of us.
Late Stage Capitalism 
Sadly a prior generalization of technological centralization -- railroad stations, steam-press newspapers, and deep-water ports -- were the security holes that let the Bolsheviks and many subsequent destructive revolutions took power.
Yup, i think it didn't took too long after Bitcoin came out, for the big finance companies to realize they are doomed,, hence they are for years already preparing the ground for centralized points of control. they play as if half dumb about it. they aren't.
It wouldn’t be sporting if they didn’t fight back. Where’s the fun in that
Well, in best case where Bitcoin prevails as is - and it will, it is unstoppable - it seems will mean the dismantling of states that are companies de facto,, with lots of weapons to go down with=rivers of blood.
It's like wanting to be in the middle of every human interaction. FB is the Visa of friendships.
Ron Paul always said that money is one-half of every transaction and too important to be left up to bureaucrats. Imagine the kind of shenanigans would need to occur to make Visa's wish come true.
Sometimes I disagree with you so much it hurts, other times I remember why I love you so much!
Maybe we should think about the loonie bin for some CEO’s
Well with LN there is a possibility that Visa scale could capture lots of it.
theres not enough intelligent tweets on twitter so nick has started responding to his own!
Not bad for a something that used to be a non-profit, isn't it?
templars had quite a bit of banking control at one point in time.
payment flow control*
Malcom Gladwell reinterpreted the Battle betweeen David & Goliath. The outcome was obvious . David used the most technologically advance weapon of his day, and Goliath likely suffered from from gigantism he was a lumbering target. Bitcoin vs Visa Priceless!
