I buy "forever' stocks. These companies grow top and bottom line consistently over time. I buy, hold, reinvest diveidends and buy more shares. I sell when I no longer have confidence in the company and/or their finanical performarnce erodes. Now take a look at stock charts such as MSFT AMZN CRM NFLX NVDA MA to name a few. All of these stocks have taken big dips multiple times. Yet they came back higher each time (okay CRM is off all time highs by a good amount ATM). The further you go back in time, the percen returns start moving from x% to xx% to xxx% to x,xxx% to xx,xxx%. Why settle for just x%? Point is, are you here to make a few dollars or here to grow wealth?

kingtoussaint

This might not be the answer you’re looking for, but the best advice I could give is to buy options of companies you actually use and believe in with 6 months to 1 Year expiration. For day trading, study SPY or QQQ. Monitor the top 10 holdings of each. Paper trade to practice. Use MA and VWAP to help with confirmation for entry points. Don’t always aim for 100-200% returns. Follow trends. Invest in a mentor, and join a community. Be quick, in and out. Be aware of news. Don’t chase, be patient, but cut losses when they get excessive. Remember, the market’s general direction is up over the long term.

MA'AM WHY DID YOU REDEEEEEM? In all seriousness though, that does make perfect sense. Small % gains are good for the big boys. Greedy retail wants more lol

cscrignaro

It hasn't touched that MA on the monthly and ELV earnings I doubt will affect it. UNH is #4 in XLV whereas ELV is 21st. The two show little correlation to eachother. If anything ELV is weaker and their earnings would provide sentiment at best. It is not something I'm watching for no.

Educational_Pie_9572

Here is an update to this Post. Confirming some of the milestones that have happened. This is my own research that I've been doing for the last few weeks with chatgpt. Please do not make any financial decisions off of my research without doing your own as I am an amateur traitor and new to options. * this is the information I am using to plan for the next two months. 1. Summary: Why CDTX Is On Every Trader’s Radar CDTX is developing a first-in-class long-acting flu preventative (CD388), which recently posted best-in-class efficacy (76% flu prevention in Phase 2b). The stock doubled on news, triggering a $400M equity raise and addition to the Russell 2000 index. They sold 8 million shares at an anchor of $44.00 and no dilution of the stock. Major catalysts in play: Pending FDA End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting (deadline: Aug 31, 2025). Q2 earnings (around Aug 12, 2025). Possible news on Phase 3 trial start and further partnerships. Options activity and technicals are buzzing: recent breakout above 50-day MA, bullish MACD, and analyst upgrades have driven new momentum. 2. Key Timelines & Catalyst Breakdown FDA Meeting Window CDTX requested EOP2 with FDA on June 23. FDA must hold the meeting by Aug 31 (max 70 days by rule). After the meeting: FDA issues official guidance (meeting minutes) within 30 days—usually, CDTX will announce news as soon as minutes are received and reviewed. Most likely “needle-moving” news window: Aug 5–Aug 25, but could stretch to late September in a worst-case, slow scenario. Earnings Q2 earnings expected ~Aug 12. As a pre-revenue biotech, earnings per share doesn’t matter. Investors focus on cash runway, trial updates, and FDA/partnership commentary. Phase 3 Start If CD388 is greenlit by FDA, Phase 3 could begin late 2025 or early 2026—another catalyst for the stock. Announcement of Phase 3 start usually creates a moderate bump, especially if it’s fast-tracked. --- 3. Option Strategy and Trading Logic August options (expiring Aug 15) cover both earnings and the likely FDA window—but might expire before late-breaking FDA news. September options (expected to list soon) are safest for catching all possible FDA news, but will cost more (more “time value”). Best risk management: Split exposure between August and September, scale in on dips, and never bet what you can’t lose. How options prices move: If CDTX spikes on FDA news, contracts could triple or more in value. If the stock stalls, premiums will decay rapidly, especially in the last 2–3 weeks. 4.Key Risks, Patterns, and Guidance Phase 2 spike is real—but gains can fade if excitement dies down before Phase 3. Earnings for pre-revenue biotechs rarely move the needle. The real drivers are FDA news and clinical milestones. Liquidity risk: Option contracts lose value fast near expiration if no catalyst arrives—don’t hold too long! Similar biotech patterns: Most “big win” Phase 2 biotechs see an initial pop, a period of drift or pullback, then another move on Phase 3/FDA news. 5. Big Picture Timeline for CDTX Catalysts (as of July 8, 2025) Phase 2b win announced: June 23, 2025 EOP2 meeting requested: June 23, 2025 FDA must hold meeting by: August 31, 2025 Q2 earnings expected: August 12, 2025 Likely news window: August 5–August 25 (earlier if FDA moves fast, later if slow) Phase 3 trial possible: Late 2025 or early 2026 Watch for partnership or buyout rumors if data/stock stays strong --- 6. Pro Tips & Trader Rules Don’t chase the top—scale in, buy dips. Sell options into strength—don’t get greedy and wait for perfection. Track option open interest and volume—trade liquid strikes only. Remember: it’s not just about the meeting date, but about when the company announces results of the FDA meeting (could be a few days to a couple weeks after the meeting).

MacnCheeseMan88

I have a lot of shares, I'm hoping it holds the 200MA and rockets. I'm prepared to sell my entire position or buy a couple hundred $4 calls depending on how the price action goes in the next ten days or so

Cosephtaughtyou

Right now im using reversals, as well as, break and retest. I have a few indicators MA5,18,200, MACD RSI I agree with what you’re saying about the different articles and markets you can analyze. there was plenty of time during the ‘I failed but gonna recollect and try again’ period where im looking at the SPY, then I would look at QQQ or SPX and see the exact trend that im seeing on the SPY chart and think hmm let me see if my prediction is right and they all follow eo and sometimes they do. As far as articles im not sure where to look, typically im not even reading, just making sure trump Doesnt say anything

Meat_Swords

I agree: It's up 8-9% today so far to .46 cents Short float 37.17% Only 13.95M outstanding shares 57.07% insider owned shares The 200 day MA is over $4.00 July 10th is the expected announcement date for finalizing the deal and will be a great price catalyst. No one can guarantee a large price move, but it seems to at least have a few ingredients. What is the opinion of everyone else?

left-for-dead-9980

Established companies surge too. NVDA, VST, GEV, MA, V, JPM, TSM, and others. You have to have patience. FOMO is not a strategy.

V MSFT AAPL MA BRK.B $50-75k CAD each *Highest position in portfolio is 7% of equities, and 4% or so of total portfolio.

Leroy--Brown

MSFT 7% V and MA. I put these in the same category, for obvious reasons. 8% PLTR 17% VOO and VTI 18% of my holdings. This used to be 60% of my portfolio but everything else grew so much faster. I'll need to renew my efforts at my old DCA strategy until this is back in the 50 or 60% range. WMT 6% My portfolio is admittedly in need of rebalancing. For example, I've held QCOM and AMT for quite a long time and I should sell off those positions and increase my position in VOO or VTI. Similarly I've opened small speculative positions in a wide variety of various stocks. Some of these are stagnant or haven't grown yet, and some of them have grown really well, and this growth has altered my ideal balance. The growth in MSFT and PLTR really altered my portfolio allocations My personal ideal balance for my portfolio is 60% VTI/VOO. 20% aggressive growth in tech/finance. 20% defensive stocks/utilities/staples. Back to the old boring DCA strategy I suppose.

CadetCovfefe

Nearly 80% of my portfolio is BRK.B, MA and UNP. I've owned all of them since around 2010. Next 2 largest are TT and LMT, which I've owned since around 2020 iirc.

Environmental-Meal14

Did this one since quick since eval last ween already. If you search my comments for VOR, you'll see after someone brought it to my attention I saw it was a legit possible play the night before and it followed my prediction pretty closely. That means it "already ran" but I'll break down why I think it's still in play, and why I think it might not. CONTINUE POTENTIAL Held above VWAP + 30% gain zone, closed at HOD range/no fade, still below prior resistance, AH dumped some but not bsd comparitively STALL POTENTIAL Typical holiday "hangover" sluggishness, exhaustion risk is no good volume, not catalyst based at this point so needs nice technical picture, RSI hovering around 45 do might indicate cooling and need more FOMO Look for >150k in PM to signal continued interest. Watch for holding above $1.85-1.87 (bullush) and even a pop past $1.95-2.00 (real momentum, VERY bullish). Below $1.75 here and it'll likely fade. At open to 945, a good scalp of $2.04 to $2.10 is possible if breaks $1.95 with >500k vol. If it tests VWAP (~$1.89) and bounces, I'd watch it but with a tight stop at $1.85. Even worse, if can't hold $1.83 just sit it out, probably profit-taking. Volume <200k would be extra spooky. It'll likely do what it wants around open but by 945-1015 expect a dip after the early push- you'll want to look for a bounce off VWAP/MA lines with the ideal bounce zone at $1.83-1.87. If VWAP sputters and no clear recovery, you're looking at a likely downside to $1.75 or lower.

Environmental-Meal14

This one seems like lots are wanting it so did this one first but now going to resume "first come, first serve" **LPSN** Trend reversal occuring, broke above MA20/50/200, appears to have strong short-term interest, clean 1 month uptrend with vol/price rising together indicating possible sustained accumulation. However, repeated R144 notices suggest insider offloading and there have been no recent *concrete* PR catalysts. RSI/KDJ also seem to be approaching overbought but maybe not. Watch for these signs of strength: >150k PM volume, holding above $1.05 with PM high around $1.11 or higher. Extra points for break/hold above $1.12. You'll want VWAP to start the day at or above $1.08. Between open and 945, look for a surge past $1.12 with >500k volume; this may indicate breakout to $1.18-1.23. If it opens weak with sell pressure down to $1.00-1.03, be careful, watch for the flush. Expect dip to VWAP @ $1.06-1.08 from 945a to 1000- key signal here would be a bounce off VWAP then reclaim $1.10. Failure to hold $1 and it might revisit the $0.91 support.

Environmental-Meal14

Did yours in case they remove this tonight. Last one for today. **DRTS** I gotta say, I like this chart strength. Despite the flat, low volume close on Thursday, SUPER clean uptrend past 7 days, took back MA20/50/200, and a high that was approaching major breakout zone (if breaks out, would need realllll nice volume to squeeze to $3.40-3.50). BUT, the dilution overhang just cleared (F-3, 3.5M share resale effective Thursday) so without volume coming in Monday this thing could stall as holders slowly sell. Howevern, the EFFECT is definitely already priced in so might be looked at as a "clean slate". Be aware that although this is low float it's also low liquidity so it probably have to get big attention somehow, and remember to keep risk TIGHT on low liquids. Look for PM volume >100k while holding above $3.08 aka MA20 reclaim. Need to see buyer control via price above VWAP. If it passes $3.17ish PM with solid volume (20k+ on 1m candles), strong sign of momentum. If it doesn't test $3.17 PM, look for it around open with volume >150k by 935 (bullish). Expect 935-945 dip towards VWAPish $3.08-3.12. If it holds and reverses, might be your starter entry (in a perfect world $3.05). 945-1000 if bullish as described above, price reclaims $3.25-3.30 with volume toward +250k (with matching higher lows), your breakout would be something like $3.40. Gnight everyone!

Must_build

I don't know much about the company except sales were flat q to q eps up 5% from q2 last year. But the chart looks bad. Gap down with highest volume in 2 yrs. That means the earnings were bad. No matter what it looks like to me the price has the final say. I never enter a position below the 200d MA. 2 15% plus gap down days in the past year. 30% off it's ath so don't see how the upside warrants the gap down risk. Sorry won't touch this one unless it was for a 5yr hold on a value basis.

Some examples I’ll never sell: JPM, MA, V, and I also have been really into ICE- all the brokers have to trade on NYSE after all. Most of the consumer staples aren’t going anywhere either, but their margins are thinner.

dig000

MRK, PLMR, ODC, V, SCI I think MRK is due for a turnaround and the worries about patent expiry are priced in, which is attractive to me. PLMR is a bit speculative, but they’ve done stellar. ODC is a small company that my friend works at, and they just keep performing. V and MA are both good choices, but I like V ever so slightly more. SCI because people will keep dying.

Dr_Dick_Dastardly

I mainly said it was a waste of time because the career path I took didn't require an MA. I actually found history to be a somewhat versatile degree, as long as you don't want to work in history. Like most humanities degrees, you have to pick up the skills and carve out your own path. It's the writing, research, and critical thinking that's important, not the history fun facts. If you're working at Wendy's because you have a history degree, it's because you learned the wrong stuff. Like I got two degrees in history, but I got my start in journalism, which I leveraged into writing and marketing jobs in the tech industry. My area of focus was environmental history.

Not always true. There are plenty of non-technical stocks that outperform tech stocks. It depends on the time frame and why it's growing. My best was MA but it's getting clobbered from DOJ and other countries for making money on swipe fees.

JFalc7

The country is so screwed if this passes its not even funny. There is so much hubris in assuming that the market will always just go up. People operating like they forgot why we had the great depression, great recession etc. The great recession was more tolerable than the great depression precisely because medicare, medicaid and social security were there to buffer the country when the market took a steaming dump and destroyed peoples lives. Trump is inducing so much risk into the system and the house of cards I'm afraid won't be able to handle it this time. Tens of thousands of people will die per year because of the health care cuts, its the biggest tax increase on the middle and working class in US history, a 30% increase in electricity prices due to solar/wind ITC/PTC cuts (much shorter development and COD timeline than nuclear/hydro/CCSNG plants), an explosion in health care premiums, deductibles and copays, we will absolutely see consumer demand plummet to probably decade lows, maybe even worse. It astonishes me how we've done this policy 4 times (Coolidge, Reagan, Bush, Trump 1), and its failed to create jobs every single time. Tax cuts for corporations means stock buybacks and increased dividends, exploding deficits. Welp.. I don't even know what to think. I'm an engineer with a $145k salary and can't even afford to buy a house in MA. RIP US empire if this passes.

DiamondHands1969

well i havent looked into it closely but unh's profits come from bilking medicare as much as possible with codes. so a reduction in medicare would mean they get less. when people move over to MA it doesnt mean they pay unh a ton. my dad's no unh and his premiums are tiny. unh uses his medical stuff and bills medicare and that's how unh actually makes money.

My roommate in college jn 2001 got an iPod. Needed a new card installed on his computer just to use it. But I felt it was going to become very popular. I had just been given 8,000 from a car crash that happened when I was 16. I opened a trading account just for that purchase. It was not easy. I was in Canada. I went to my bank hsbc and opened an investment account there. I don’t know how to add an image here but I still hold 56k in that account and my book value is 4k with 1500 percent return. For meta I have book value of 7k and the holdings are now worth 106k. These are all at RBc now as hsbc was sold and I live in the US where I trade with a us brokerage but I basically just don’t sell the Canadian stuff it just sits there. I have 67k of MA I paid 3k for. The initial Apple trade paid for all of it tho as over the years I diversified out of the position. But like I said I still have 56k in that account of Apple. Other holdings in that account with crazy returns. Amazon worth 129k paid $5k. Lmk if there is a way to send a screenshot!

In Canada picked up XIC, XEF, and XEM as well as a bunch of FFH, CNR, CNQ, and BN. In my company retirement account I moved from 40% USA to 25% USA. On my USD account I focused on global exposure. V, MA, BRK.B. I was tech heavy and sold it for treasuries. Being up 300% on nvda and avgo respectively made it basically free money in perpetuity. I dropped about 25% of my portfolio on treasuries because I can see rates eventually falling. I'm not closing the door. I'm just rebalancing away.

Nearby_Valuable_5467

I did laugh when everyone started going on about "stablecoin" and everyone said THIS IS A DISASTER FOR $V and $MA and shares fell 4% in a day.... And then Visa and Mastercard said: "We've been working on this stablecoin for years. We'll be fine". And then.......silence.

Fucking hell, DeepSeek was a wild ride. The market hard panicked with little data and hearsay at the time. I sold out of V and MA during Mangomania. I got spooked when I realized that if countries want to decouple from US dominance, they'll start investing in ways to break away from the two large payment networks. The US could pull Russia style sanctions on any country it sees as a threat and their financial sector is torpedoed in the flick of a switch.

greenpride32

>Maybe the issue is we need to change the formula for valuing stocks? There is no such formula - if you believe it exists you are chasing a unicorn. Stocks that consistently grow top and bottom line over time tend to have their share prices go up over time. Need some examples - look at MSFT AMZN MA which have track records of 10-15+ years. Some stocks trade more on speculation. They don't have anything close to 10 years track record. Play these at your own risk. A common "value" mesaure has been PE ratio. This is an outdated metric that became popular during old industry growth years. This was when most companies specialized in a single vertical. As time went up, new industry became much more efficient and scalable to the point large tech players spam multiple verticals and dominate the economy. Old industry is more focused on cash flow and efficiency games, but not growth. Take an old industry, no growth stock such as KO. It yields close to 3% dividend at PE of 28. Historically, 28 is considered a high PE for a non-growth stock. 15 years ago, KO PE ratio bounced from 8-15. Now slice KO PE in half to 14, which is still historically high for them. What happends to dividend yield? It becames an insane 6%. Who wouldn't park money into a KO at 6% yield? Of course many would, and thus the stock price gets bid up. So much then for PE ratio right?

Efficient_Pomelo_583

There are a lot of dividend founds. You can't just put every one in the same basket. Look at VIG for example, it seeks to increase the dividends but without sacrificing growth (it holds MSFT, V, MA...)

Ok_Magician5303

Okay so like as a beginner one may ask for certain stocks. Usually gbt will provide a standard list of stocks. But if you keep pressuring the system it will eventually provide you with a different source all together. I used chat gbt to learn Delta, gamma,theta. For options trading. You can also ask chat gbt to analyze MA for multiple stocks within the same brackets and give you daily updates including technical analysis Fibonacci sequences and allot more. I used gbt to help me code a personal correlation map between cryptos which fundamentally allowed me to almost see into the future a few months back. I've kept it for personal use as a private tool for now. Chat gbt can also help with raw financial literacy if asked about direct tax codes or how to navigate complex infrastructure that would otherwise require a normal everyday individual to hire a professional. Ai is not the enemy. Closed minded people are.

I bought the dip on MA and AXP🫡

AP9384629344432

Today I sold my positions in AMD/PYPL/SBUX/MA. Not because any thesis broke recently (other than Starbucks), but because I stopped putting in time to keep up with earnings reports and couldn't really justify holding on to them. And wanted a simpler portfolio. AMD/MA were +60% gains on remaining proceeds, PYPL was a 25%, and SBUX was basically flat. SBUX was the one with the biggest fail in thesis though. Bad earnings, risk of China exposure, tariffs, (and apparently they are planning on selling off their China holdings (allegedly)--not exactly a vote of confidence in a big chunk of their business). The new CEO thinks they just need some cultural change like using real ceramic mugs or making it more like a 'cafe.' But the real issue is they can no longer keep raising prices and eventually consumers will simply make coffee at home or buy caffeinated beverages in bulk. For what it is worth, I love Starbucks coffee but I just buy the beans at the grocery store. Would never throw away $7 for a cup of coffee from the actual store (or whatever it costs these days). Overall the Becky stock narrative has fallen flat recently. Whether that's Starbucks, Lululemon, Ulta, Target, ... This week I did add to my Google position though (and index funds).

Go and look at careers page of any major financial company and you will find "blockchain" "crypto" "digital assets" roles. No I don't mean COIN - I mean the likes of MA V GS JPM BAC C. I guess you must know better than all of them.

I watched the Iraq invasion from the lobby TV of a hockey rink in Marlboro MA. I scored 2g 2a that game but my dad was in a sour mood driving home and I didn't understand. now I know: he wasn't long crude oil futures.

Go and read about blockchain technology - until then it's pointless to converse on the topic. You can search MA and V careers website, and find matches for "blockchain" and "crypto".

If you go with this list at current price ranges, you will almost certainly beat the market in the medium term based purely on strength of business fundamentals, share buybacks, and reinvested dividends. I hold all of these and keep adding. I would actually argue that every one is trading at a discount: C V MA UNH JPM BRK.B COST META NFLX AMZN GOOGL

CRCL was at the perfect place at the perfect time. It's probably the first time I've ever seen something like it after several years in the market. Delayed IPO by like almost 2 whole years, finally goes public during the most crypto friendly administration, state law passes stablecoins as legal federal tender, USDC out of all coins gets chosen to back treasuries and WMT and AMZN announce their own coins giving credibility that V and MA multi decade oligarchy can be disrupted. This all happened in LESS THEN 2 WEEKS SINCE THEIR IPO. Usually stock catalysts can take months or even years to play out so this is crazy. If you're looking long term at the company they are def capable of cutting out V and MA and carving out maybe a \~300B MC over two decades. However the run up has made it that other plays can make more gains over that time frame IMO. Also there is no guarantee that they succeed as V and MA will prob release their own coins to compete. Also remember that Tether still has first mover advantage with a representative actively working with the President's administration but I still think CRCL is more open book and better suited to getting legislatively recognized.

The benefits are backend blockchain - not so much consumer facing. But sure, so V and MA you consider to be scams as well?

Trump_Depression2025

So crcl was hyped bc stable coin could replace Visa and MA as payment system. But they will also start charging a fee like V and MA. So companies will go from one fee system to a new more untested fee system. Yeah, it’s a scam

Last Friday I bought a put spread which expires in December, little negative delta exposure, positive theta, neutral vega. I wanted to close the position this week but did not see a good opportunity so decided to keep it through the weekend as currently the price is testing the MA20 on daily. I think it might keep going down a bit more. I am not usually taking short positions but decided to go with a -10 delta which I am comfortable with, also I kinda got lucky timing the market when I bought it, I am surprised that these geopolitical tensions did not affect the market as much as I thought. This conflict in Iran can have significant influence on inflation as 20-30% of world’s oil supply has to move through the Strait of Hormuz, this added with Powell’s playbook of not lowering the rates (which I think is overall good given the unemployment and “somewhat elevated inflation”) could hint a period of red days on the stock market, I am still bearish short term. The point is, if you are going short with risk defined strategies which you are comfortable with is not that bad. Trading is a game of probabilities so as long your expected value is positive it is not a bad thing do go short. Do not risk more than you are comfortable losing and you are good! Good luck!

I can speak to CRCL and CRWV since I participated in their IPO's. CRCL has a payments platform that links the USD to crypto, or a stablecoin called USDC. If CRCL is successful in gaining regulatory approval for their platform, and then getting vendors and even the government to sign up, it could be a very lucrative business. They would collect a small fee per transaction in the same way a V or MA does. As USDC runs on blockchain, cost of operations is very low. A big benefit for CRCL is they have a $60b USD reserve to back USDC and collect interest on it. This inherently gives them a longer financial lifeline than other startups might have. CRWV started out as a cryto miner, which means they own a ton of GPU's. As Bitcoin halving caused mining to become less profitable, CRWV restructured to lend their AI GPU's resources out, much in the same an AMZN AWS or MSFT Azure loans out compute resources in their public clouds. AI GPU's are the hottest commodity on planet Earth today. The current demand for their services outstrips by far the amount they can supply. The questions become, how long will this demand persist and how quicklyi can they scale out? You're talking about 2 very speculative stocks, but with enormous potential as well. CRWV today operates a legitmate business that will be collect billions in revenue per year. But they are also going to face major competition from the likes of AMZN and MSFT in the nearer term, and likely GOOGL and ORCL in the longer term. CRCL is far and away the leader (if there is such a thing) in US based stablecoin backed by USD. But they aren't collecting anything from their payments platform just yet, it will require regulatory approvals and then likely a pilot period.

They are paying V and MA for a reason. Nothing is free

BLNE - MA20 crossing MA250. May not do much until more news about merger, but watching it.

If Amazon and Meta can do it, why do you believe V and MA cannot? They’ve built the trust and expertise over many decades for secure transaction processing. The 90% don’t care if it’s on a blockchain or centralized DBs

longGERN

MA and V recovery is simple smooth brain money

CherryColaCan

I think the Walmart stablecoin risk is overblown personally. I’ve been adding to my MA position this week.

Didntlikedefaultname

Any reason you’d go MA over V?

Ok_Application963

Thinking about loading up on some MA today.

Misc_Thoughts

Do puts on V or MA CRCL will come down but not without destroying shorts

BearBearChooey

Hopefully this means another red day tomorrow for MA and V so I can scoop up some shares!

Note I'm no expert in this. I don't think this will replace credit cards. It may be meant to replace debit cards. Stablecoins is tied to fiat currency. So instead of paying with Cash/Debit you use stablecoins. The only reasoning I've found to do this in Retail, is to bypass the fees from the current 5 party network. Most of the current fees are paid to the purchaser bank, V/MA seem to get roughly0.10-0.16% and the rest go to the banks, which would be the rest of the 2.50% roughly. So this would save the Merchant on 2.50%. However. How does the consumer benefit? I think the only way that works is if the consumer has incentive to use it. So if the merchant offers a 1% discount or something for using stablecoins. But from what I've gathered. Paying with stablecoins isn't easy or simple for the average person. I don't think the average person wants to put their cash into something they don't understand to buy groceries. Idk. But. Visa/MasterCard can help make it easier. Because they want to be the bridge between traditional finance and this new stuff. So people may use their V/MasterCard to pay with stablecoin. And instead of a 2.5% fee, it may be a 0.10% fee to visa/MasterCard.

Bought a big chunk of MA last week. And yesterday. Went down on the Stablecoin news. And bought SPGI couple weeks ago too. And BKNG.

Amstervince

The market is pretty clear about this. V and MA are tanking on the genius act. They had a very strong moat in the market that allowed them to charge exorbitant fees for something that in modern day has become trivial. That moat is now completely obliterated

Isn't this sort of how Visa and MC came to dominate. In the early days of credit cards, each store had their own charge card, apparently Visa and MC are also working on stablecoins given their already dominant universal acceptance could history be about to repeat itself? Disclosures: I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, I hold both V and MA.
