MasterCard unfriendly towards Digital Currencies Anonymity
Mastercard has started a campaign against Bitcoin. it is asking for more transparency and stronger regulation over digital currencies in Australia.
The company’s states:
Any regulation adopted in Australia, should address the anonymity that digital currency provides to each party in a transaction. Contrary to transactions made with a MasterCard product, the anonymity of digital currency transactions enables any party to facilitate the purchase of illegal goods or services. To launder money or finance terrorism; and to pursue other activity that introduces consumer and social harm without detection by regulatory or police authority.
Matthew Drive, President of Mastercard believes, we are seeing a huge change in payment technology whether its digital convergent or crypto currencies.
