Bitcoinist - MasterCard Sees Major Earnings Growth And Keeps Tabs on Blockchain

Fri Jan 29, 2016 3:16 pm

Despite obvious signs on the wall of how the financial world is starting to crumble, there are still plenty of financial players reporting a healthy profit year over year. MasterCard is one of those companies seeing a whopping 11.1 percent profit rise, as the purchase volume increased during the final quarter of 2015. This is quite an interesting piece of information, especially when considering how the company is interested in blockchain technology and Bitcoin as well.

I wouldn't say the financial world is crumbling because the USD is strong as is Bitcoin. Traditional investments still do well, though no where near as good as Bitcoin.

As for China, they are screwed. That's what you get for cooking the books over 25 years and then trying to control your country like a regime :)
