in our case the wave project will get more attention when implementing MASTERCARD\VISA within wave mainnet system
I don't doubt it will. However, I am sure there are many hurdles between now and then.
Was any progress made towards this goal before launching, or is it still all to do?
This is not a question of YES or NO, because Coinomat.com (driven by sasha35625) already have Debit Cards (VISA) which can be filled with crypto. It's only a question of WHEN will it be implemented.
