visa and mastercard made problem for wikileaks too. don't use them, they are front business of people who are against bitcoin.
What facts do you have that tell Visa&MasterCard are against Bitcoin?

It would be logical to assume that Visa/MasterCard are against Bitcoin because is it a competing payment system that would cut into their profits.   They are going to fight it, or find a way to adapt and live with it, such as providing bitcoin to Visa/MasterCard gateways.

I personally think that Visa/MasterCard should fade away, by deeming themselves to be the arbiter of who can trade on the system (i.e. Wikileaks, Russian citizens using certain banks)  

I think the Target data breach helps the world know just how insecure their system is.
