Credit card processors also pay the user of the CC a cashback on a significant portion of that fee... And are also liable for fraud.

Who do I chargeback when an online merchant takes my BTC, and doesn't ship the goods I bought? BitPay will tell me to pound sand. VISA will process a chargeback, no questions asked.

Good problems to solve in this space.
By creating an off-chain payment processor called BISA, and we're back to charging merchants fees for cashback + fraud losses, except now we're for some stupid reason doing it on a blockchain.
