If Bitcoin becomes big and stable, there's no reason large companies couldn't open BTC accounts at Chase or Wells Fargo and accept them directly. Amazon doesn't convert your CAD into USD immediately when you shop on Amazon.ca.

At least with Bitcoin, anyone can compete as a payment processor because there's no central authority with onerous licensing requirements like Visa/Mastercard.

That strikes me as a rather extraordinary claim.
