gives us reason to invest to some tokens like monaco and tenx. i've seen more projects which they include releasing of mastercards and visa cards, its probably easier now to release them now that mastercard had initiated.

its a lot easier to trust them when records are easy to check by anyone. not surprise if one day we can just swipe our cards to local stores.
