Wow! Visa are definitely the biggest payment processor in Europe afaik (not sure about the World but Europe is pretty huge in population anyway)...

Bitcoin at the moment in my opinion should see people only investing small(ish) amounts anyway so getting it as a free reward on a credit card purchase seems apt for that - as long as it doesn't cause people to buy the top.

Yeah, it looks like we may see a domino effect from payment processing companies and possibly banks too if they see it's workable with VISA

Finally. Although in fact, it is high time to combine visa and bitcoin in one system with reduced tax rates. I think visa should be more attentive to cryptocurrency in General, because the crypto currency may at some point displace visa from the market. Although it seems to me that they probably have a financial Department that works with cryptocurrencies.

I see enough expensive credit cards out there to expect they must have some market using them....

I meant more if someone got €10/0.0007 btc and saw it go to €300 for example they might naively thing it's "rise only" and swear off crypto for good.

Although I do think most of Europe has heard of bitcoin by now (especially in the west) and if they haven't bought any yet then they're not going to care anytime soon...

It is good that they are offering cryptocurrency as a rewards. In my opinion though, airline miles is still the best reward in this position. The amount you spent on traveling is dramatically decreased by having airline miles rewards, plus you can spend more on the where you want to travel. And you also given another problem about authorities tracking the transaction, I do not think that you should be worried about it, even if you do not have that, everything about is already available for the government to look at starting from the day you were born.

Wow, looks like VISA really wants to be ahead in bitcoin adoption with USDC stablecoin support.

so this is what they are saying that the next step after paypal are going to come in visa but as i read the title again it turns out that its not the first project visa involved with but there could be previous than this , im not aware with that  .
 not all loves travelling and it will be a waste if the rewards given to them are related to airlines but it will be more useful if they are rewarded with btc credits because that can be use in many ways or it can also act as an investment  .

This is just first steps, as the adoption contues and competition rises they will reduce annual fees and provide more options. We are still in the very beginning..

I guess the rewards tier would be pretty high, knowing how VISA operates their rewards system on miles and all that stuff. The big break here would be on the part of BlockFi getting most of the publicity currently, being paired with a payment processing giant and all that type of stuff. Integration wise, there doesn’t seem to be much to marvel at this partnership, although it’s good that VISA recognized a company that focuses solely on crypto-related things.

Company after company are integrating Bitcoin and crypto in their current system already.

This is creating a domino effect and this is a good news for the crypto users as more and more people are getting aware that a thing like cryptocurrency is existing. Good for BlockFi as they are the ones who partnered with VISA so their supporters and token holders will surely get some huge profit in this news .
