MasterCard to open up network to cryptocurrencies
There’s always lots of bluster and comments about cryptocurrency with things like this and not always much concrete information.<p>I think as a tech community here on HN we should try to focus on why these changes are occurring so quickly and what the repercussions are. Let’s talk constructively about the risks and opportunities more than we do about who’s buying, who’s selling, on and on.... is it a bubble.. does it have value, etc etc. Clearly it’s here to stay and clearly large chunks of our economy will soon be dealing with it.<p>So let’s instead talk about constructive ways to move regulation forward. Expand education and communication etc.<p>For instance I have a concern that we’ll leave a large percentage of people further behind as digital cryptocurrency becomes a larger part of the economic system.
