MasterCard just picked a side. Bitcoin is moving from retail toy to institutional plumbing, and Visa isn't sleeping either. This week, Toner and BTC Ankarino dig into what it actually means when legacy finance decides crypto is no longer optional — and who's quietly stacking sats while everyone else argues about regulation.
