i would like to give my users the option to do microtransactions that they won't have to think twice, and it won't take them 20 minutes to sign up to some payment service with all their personal info disclosed . I would even like them to give each other small tips for their effort in a way that can be cashed-out. basically the equivalent of cash. that is impossible in today's web without becoming a major accounting hassle.

apart from solving some of today's problems, bitcoin (OK, not bitcoin, some better cryptocoin) is creating new markets and opportunities

The problem is that once a cryptocurrency starts to demonstrate such a market, there is nothing stopping Visa from rolling out a microtransaction fee structure and undercutting the cryptocurrency.

well great, but visa has a lot of liabilities too. Being centralized, they become e.g. liable for illegal transactions, where cryptos dont have that. This has costs, which should normally never allow visa to be competitive.

also, tbh , visa launching a microtransaction framework as easy to use as cryptos would be great news
