I'll believe it when I see it actually happens, or when it's on the VISA site (not just on a random page, on the homepage) companies like this need to embrace the technology if they want to be ahead of the curve. Cause if they don't do it, someone else will do it and they'll lose the control they have over the entire community.
So, OP this is pretty much me asking for a link to this news. Not helping much for you to just say it.
If its really true then its a big impact to the cryptocurrency community, hope the people who uses Visa will be able to cope with the community who uses blockchain technology as it will be new to them and they do not have the background. Anyways your right when you said if they dont go with the flow someone will.
