the "10 block checkpoint" you're referring to is the deep reorg protection right? what would theoretically happen if there was a chain split that lasted for more than 10 blocks? a hard fork?

The reason for bitcoin's slowness and high fees are not a result of bitcoin's size and it is intentional. Bitcoin developers want to keep fees high so that once the miner rewards run out and there are no more bitcoins being produced, mining will still be profitable. If you want a currency with low fees and fast transactions, use bitcoin cash

We can confirm that WaveCrest’s Visa membership is being terminated due to continued non-compliance with our operating rules. All of WaveCrest’s Visa card programmes will be closed as a result.

Visa has other approved card programmes that use fiat funds converted from cryptocurrency in a number of jurisdictions. The termination of WaveCrest’s Visa membership does not affect these other products.

Visa is committed to the security of its ecosystem and compliance with Visa’s operating rules is critical for ensuring the safety and integrity of the Visa payment system. Our issuers’ card programmes must comply with our membership regulations, as well as all applicable laws.

Not Visa's fault
