I find it very entertaining how suddenly Visa is a good thing, the moment they wanted to offer a crypto card. All this after how many articles decrying Visa and other “legacy” financial institutions?

Also, the idea that Visa is going to help the Blockchain finally scale is ... well, let’s just say that you’re not supposed to enthusiastically endorse what the detractors have been saying for years.

It's a stepping stone to create adoption.
Where "creating adoption" means "hopefully the price of the speculative assets I own goes up"
Yes, I went from Coinbase to managing my own wallet. Coinbase was my stepping stone, but now with my own wallet I have access to so many other products without Coinbase taking a fee and products that Coinbase doesn't offer. Coinbase helped me understand what was possible, now I have graduated to liquidity pools, staking and DEX's.
Weird how I got so many minus points for an actual experience.
