So the point of the article is, because (maladjusted?) actual laws are against it, don't try anything? I understand the worries, but I personally can't wait for a way to easily and quickly give money to someone which doesn't involve Visa or MasterCard. In a moving world where new things are created daily, I don't like the monopoly those two have for years.

Is that really the only way for many people? Where do you live? In most European countries you can connect your bank account to Paypal. And many countries have sms/phone number based transfer systems.

In the US you can connect your Venmo, PayPal, Cash app, etc to your bank account and not involve Visa or MasterCard in quickly transferring money.
