> Merricks alleges Mastercard charged excessive “interchange” fees – the fees retailers pay credit card companies when consumers use a card to shop - between May 1992 and June 2008 and that those fees were passed on to consumers as retailers raised prices Before I clicked I thought this was their monopoly under scrutiny and not about fees, since the only CC companies I know of is Amex/Visa/Mastercard who have a stranglehold on the market, much like Google & Facebook. Cryptocurrency will hopefully change this, as I believe that's one of cryptocurrency's promises. Already I sound dated since crypto is now a mature thing you can actually use, albeit with some teething problems still present that haven't been ironed out.
