VISA CEO: We do not want to take Bitcoin straight
Visa ne budet napryamuyu prinimat' bitkoiny, po slovam general'nogo direktora kompanii Al'freda Kelli:
«My ne budem obrabatyvat' tranzaktsii, osnovannyye na kriptovalyute», - skazal on. «My budem obrabatyvat' tranzaktsii tol'ko na valyutnom rynke».
Kelli ukazal na osnovnuyu problemu kriptovalyut — na bol'shuyu volatil'nost', na to, kakoye psikhologicheskoye davleniye okazyvayet prosadka kursa koinov:
«Lyudi khotyat spravedlivogo obmena tsennost'yu, kogda oni chto-to pokupayut, poetomu, yesli eto stoit $100, ya khochu zaplatit' $100», - skazal on. Kelli dobavil, chto v nastoyashcheye vremya on rassmatrivayet bitkoyn kak spekulyativnyy tovar, a ne metod oplaty.
🦍V dannyy moment VISA sotrudnichayet s TenX, Xapo, Coins.ph, Bitwala, BitPay i CryptoPay, ADVCash, ePayments dlya obrabotki tranzaktsiy kriptovalyut. Odnako Visa nedavno prekratila svoye sotrudnichestvo s kompaniyey Wave Crest
V 2016 godu BitPay vypustila svoyu kriptovalyutnuyu debetovuyu kartu Visa, kotoraya pozvolila pol'zovatelyam sovershat' platezhi na lyubykh terminalakh Visa (POS) i snimat' nalichnyye v bankomatakh Visa v lyubom meste po vsey territorii Soyedinennykh Shtatov.
Visa will not directly accept bitcoins, according to the company's CEO, Alfred Kelly:
"We will not process transactions based on crypto currency," he said. "We will process transactions only in the foreign exchange market."
Kelly pointed to the main problem of crypto-currencies - to greater volatility, to what psychological pressure the drawdown of the coins' course is:
"People want a fair exchange of value when they buy something, so if it costs $ 100, I want to pay $ 100," he said. Kelly added that he currently considers bitcoin as a speculative commodity, not a method of payment.
🦍 VISA is currently cooperating with TenX, Xapo, Coins.ph, Bitwala, BitPay and CryptoPay, ADVCash, ePayments for processing transactions, crypto currency. However, Visa recently stopped its cooperation with Wave Crest
In 2016, BitPay released its Visa credit card, which allowed users to make payments on any Visa (POS) terminals and withdraw cash from Visa ATMs anywhere in the United States.
