Visa is not a medium of exchange. This is a sad take.

I assume you have used credit cards.
Visa is a company processing transactions for a medium of exchange, which is USD (or other currencies).

Visa is not a medium of exchange any more than a local bank is.

So Visa is similar to miners on Bitcoin blockchain and bitcoin is the medium of exchange?
