Google would absolutely crush it if they integrated auto-payments and routing via a blockchain ecosystem. But they have so much cash, networks of satellites, Sergey Brin just built a frickin' blimp for fun...

Any they have Android pay! Part of me suspects it is the large investment/commercial banks, which control massive portions of the common stock, and from that, voting power in corporate affairs. The banks are probably keeping them on a tight leash because they know if the likes of Google, FB, etc, get on the bandwagon, it's game over for the fiat cartel.
