hi guys, first post here

I really like your idea of this service as a business but not as a whole for "Bitcoin" as a currency or a community. The whole point of Bitcoin is for everyone, by everyone right? the limitation of Countries just makes it look like another Paypal doesnt it? Of course I am sure it will be better in a market where there are other options such as paypal and what not but my understanding here is that the beauty of bitcoin is that its a global currency which anyone can use instantly without having to wait or going through payment processors and such, which leads me to my question regarding the very same reason - "Mastercard/ATM Network such PLUS etc)

 -  Does the bank charge you something "per country" in order to use their Mastercard/VISA network ? What is stopping you from parterning with Banks which provide such coverage globally? I know this might be very confidential information as it relates to the whole business case but been wondering on somewhat a same idea few days back and I really would like to know what kind of charges do these "Bank Network" guys take.


Sorry if I am hijacking the thread, admins please let me know if I am to post this somewhere else.
