Payments giant Mastercard suffered a severe outage last week that led to a hold-up in transactions.
This time, however, Crypto Twitter took notice, and that made all the difference for what was likely a hectic day for the credit card giant’s press team.
But even still, critics of the company argued amid the outage that Mastercard will face a “huge rival” from either bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.
But would the utilization of blockchain or cryptocurrency have prevented the situation Mastercard found itself in?
Whether the technology as applied to Mastercard could have helped is perhaps an open question, but nonetheless, the situation was an opportunity for the crypto faithful to throw a little shade the company’s way.
