Could be smart to really push the fact that credit/debit cards were never meant for use on the internet. Internet didn't even exist when cards were first envisioned and created, whereas Bitcoin is built from the ground up to handle payments over the internet.

Also, in order to accept payments by cards, merchants need to register+pay fees+++. To accept payments in bitcoin, all you need is a private key (i.e. a number with some specific properties).
