Alright, let's see, what's the easiest to engage with in this , games.

https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/blockchain-...

> The global Blockchain Gaming Market size in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth USD 4.6 billion in 2022

https://www.statista.com/outlook/dmo/digital-media/video-gam...

> Revenue in the Video Games segment is projected to reach US$372.00bn in 2023.

So that's about one percent of the market.

What you've cherry picked are wishful thinking articles about how everything will just be amazing and great in crypto land. Some day. You just wait.

The GP's citation of Visa and Mastercard are cherry-picking? What companies would be more relevant?

The source for those claims is "people, who asked not to be named". Could be literally anyone.

Meanwhile in the same article:

> That does not change [Visa]'s crypto strategy and focus, however, the spokesperson added.

and:

> A spokesperson for Mastercard said: "Our efforts continue to focus on the underlying blockchain technology and how that can be applied to help address current pain points and build more efficient systems."

Isn't it crazy how different those quotes are from the headline? I'd love to know who read those official company statements and then decided to write the headline with the claim from an anonymous nobody instead.

The OP’s original comment referred to the rest of the world, which I read as those outside the US. My understanding is that Visa and Mastercard are American companies with footprints outside the US yes, but they are still US companies.
