The US Patent office has granted Mastercard a [patent yesterday](http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=2&f=G&l=50&co1=OR&d=PTXT&s1=cryptocurrency&s2=blockchain&OS=cryptocurrency+OR+blockchain&RS=cryptocurrency+OR+blockchain) for a *"method and system for linkage of blockchain-based assets to fiat currency accounts."* <center><img src="https://i.imgur.com/utWfvew.jpg" /><br/><em><sub>Sources: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MasterCard_early_1990s_logo.png">wikimedia</a>, <a href="https://pixabay.com/en/cryptocurrency-business-finance-3085139/">pixabay</a>, <a href="https://pixabay.com/en/packs-pile-money-finance-currency-163497/">pixabay</a></sub></em></center> This means Mastercard is getting closer to bridging fiat and crypto currencies within the mainstream payment sector for purchasing of goods in our daily lives. This is good news for increasing the adoption rate and usability of crypto worldwide. The patent grants rights to have one account with fiat linked to another with a blockchain currency, and being able to receive or send transactions that would essentially rebalance your crypto account afterwards: > storing, in a first central account, a fiat amount associated with a fiat currency; storing, in a second central account, a blockchain amount associated with a blockchain currency; storing a plurality of account profiles, each profile including a fiat currency amount, blockchain currency amount, account identifier, and address; receiving a transaction message associated with a payment transaction, the message being formatted based on one or more standards and including a plurality of data elements, including a data element reserved for private use including a specific address and a transaction amount; identifying a specific account profile that includes the specific address included in the data element in the received transaction message; and updating the blockchain currency amount included in the identified specific account profile based on the transaction amount included in the data element in the received transaction message. Mastercard claims users have increasingly preferred the anonymity of cryptocurrency to fiat. It also says some users have chosen to go with digital currencies in order to prevent fraud. But there are disadvantages that go with the advantages. Mastercard takes issue with a lack of protection for the receiver of funds due to having to wait for the transaction to come in. Regular fiat payments via credit card happen almost immediately within seconds. Meanwhile, the new cryptocurrency technology is slower with some blockchains (like Bitcoin) having transactions that can take 10 minutes or more. This makes paying for goods in real life cumbersome. Waiting at a retail store for your payment to be accepted is just annoying. The complexity of using blockchain currencies makes them different from the simpler transactional payment methods that people are used to. Mastercard will address this onboarding issues and streamline adoption of cryptocurrency use by linking fiat and crypto. When you spend at a store, the transaction will be immediately approved, and then the funds from crypto will be adjusted later after the conversion of fiat to crypto is done through the delay of the blockchain technology. But the patent doesn't say if this process will involve Mastercard having it's own blockchain for this to happen. It's even possible this goes nowhere, like is the case with many other patents. Seth Eisen, Mastercardβs senior vice president for communications, said to [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/17/bitcoin-above-7000.html): > "We're consistently looking at ways to bring new thinking and new innovations to market to create value for us and our customers and cardholders. Patent applications are part of that process, taking steps to protect the companyβs intellectual property, whether or not the idea ever comes to market." Mastercard is one of the biggest investors in blockchain technology, along with IBM and walmart. This recent patent is just another in a series for Mastercard. Patents [20180181953](http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220180181953%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20180181953&RS=DN/20180181953) and [20180157999](http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220180157999%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20180157999&RS=DN/20180157999) were both granted in June. One is for anonymous blockchain transactions and other for a travel bidding itinerary system. They also have patents for verifying payment credentials, using blockchain technology, and another for authenticating coupons using a wallet address. If you can't beat them, join them. When your old traditional financial system can't beat the new, you gotta adapt and integrate with it or risk being left behind. Mastercard is well on it's way to catching up and even staying ahead of the curve of the mainstream, ready for the future. These moves also help to bring cryptocurrency to the masses. That increasing popularity should signal an increase in the value of the crypto market as well. --- **Thank you for your time and attention.

As exciting as this news is, I'm a bit reserved for one main reason. Patents tend to breed monopolies and exclusivity. If the patent is granted for something as abstract as "method and system for linkage of blockchain-based assets to fiat currency accounts," how long is it going to take for MasterCard to file patent lawsuits against Coinbase and any other fiat portal. Hopefully it doesn't go that route, but it's certainly on my mind.

This patent has nothing to do with traditional crypto / fiat operations. No one can make a patent after the fact to put exchanges out of business... and if they did decentralized exchanges would thrive. The title of this patent is extremely misleading. Mastercard is giving out temporary credit on a crypto atm card. The debt gets paid off when the blockchain finally confirms the transaction. This patent is a service that allows users to spend Bitcoin instantly instead of having to wait ten minutes.

Sometimes I think patent laws are purposefully vague, there are already plenty of crypto debit/ATM cards that have existed prior to this patent. I'm actually wondering if this is why Visa killed off the wavecrest cards (or whatever they were called).

Yup, patents that restrict others getting int he game or retroactively sue those who were already doing it, is a problem. But I was more looking at how the adoption of crypto would increase.

Okay, so is this actually buying cryptocurrencies with fiat? I'm confused at the wording. There's one account with fiat that keeps another account with crypto in it rebalanced. All through Mastercard? Or is Mastercard the bridge between a fiat account and a crypto account that already exists? If it would allow me to go from dollars to STEEM, and back, that would be awesome.

Looks like it's simply a crypto ATM card. Mastercard will front you the money you need instantly and deduct from your balance as soon as the transaction gets confirmed on the blockchain. Basically Mastercard will pay for the item and then you pay Mastercard 10 minutes later (Bitcoin). The interesting thing here is that Steem doesn't require this run around. Three second blocks for the win. Also EOS with it's half second blocks will end up being amazing as well... even faster than chipped ATM cards.

Hey, @edicted! Thanks for the explanation. Now I'm getting it. Probably should have figured that out on my own, but I didn't. :) That does make sense for Bitcoin and others with the longer wait times. And since there's plenty of Bitcoin holders, MasterCard should benefit quite a bit from it. Very good. With STEEM, there just needs to be a fiat to STEEM solution, like there are fiat to Bitcoin and other solutions. I guess there are legalities surrounding it, but why? How long did it take for Bitcoin to be acceptable? Will STEEM have to wait that long?

You gotta love how these competitive entities keep cock-blocking each other with their silly patents. Meanwhile the decentralized movement chugs forward, immune to such cumbersome stifling of innovation. Open source all the way.

In my opinion also it's reflecting as act of **Fear Of Missing Out** means, possibly they are thinking that Crypto can take over them. In a way it can be an effective decision but in my opinion Centralisation into Decentralisation is not sounding in an balanced way for sure. Now we have to wait and watch where this will be lead to and what will be the future plans but Centralisation is not an choice because otherwise in my opinion it's another way to make slaves for sure. Crypto is dynamic and till now we all know that and it is dynamic because it's decentralised so we need more natural essence in Crypto Sphere and that can bring by only Decentralisation. Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. π

Yeah, they are centralized, but getting into the decentralized markets. It's a bridge for the ppl still stuck on centralized convenience.

If that mechanism enters into the Decentralised Module then that's really effective thing. π

I have not read the patent but it must be an innovation that aims at faster translation of fiat to crypto and vice versa. but there are many ways to do it and i am not sure that the patent in itself is significant. what is important however is the knowledge that everyone is preparing for a crypto world. at this point,the patent is meaningful only if crypto and fiat live side by side. maybe it is a warning to only-fiat and only-crypto proponents

Yeah the patent is lame, as control of a process of doing things is shitty for preventing other ppl to do the same, and you monopolize on it.

On one side this makes me happy as the time when I can spend my cryptos in the real world without going through rip-OFF services like coinbase (8%) On the other hand litecoin wanted to launch lite pay card earlier this year but as far as I know was blocked by legalities same with Naga Coin and a few others and here big banking just gets an easy green light to do the same. Market and law manipulation by lawmakers? Wouldn't suprise me at all.

Yeah some people claim cryptocurrency will be the means to free the world from the power and greed of banking institutions I think as soon as it really starts going that way they will buy in with a big enough stake to it result in just a minor short term redistribution of wealth

What if SBD can get pegged to a buck and Master Card adopts/adapts to this platform? Good, or bad?

This is one of those double edge swords...on the one hand it would help boost prices, however that other hand is that the cryptos don't need no stinkin' credit card..they are the payment system.

Sure, give it time and it will bloom. This just ads to the PR to get ppl to know it, into it, and use it quicker.

This is such a good news for me. Not only it gives more optiona and flexibility to the user but also allows crypto to be known. I guess crypto holders will be happy in 2019.

This is actually quite big news .... don't like quite that is coming from Master, but hey still it's OK ... it means that they are taking seriously crypto and don't want to be forgotten by time .... at the end will see how everything plays out, there are a lot of possibilities

I am hopeful the wallet McAfee is pushing is the real deal for broad user adoption. No more keys, unhackable, just a pass-phrase for use that you can keep in your head. [Bitfi Wallet](http://bitfi.com/how-it-works) The idea of a private company having a patent on fiat-crypto interchange is concerning, private tech muscling in on open source functionality sounds suspicious to me. Currently a wait and see proposition...
