You're standing in a bustling market in Bangkok. No local currency, no common language, yet you hand over a small plastic card and walk away with mangoes and street food. The vendor doesn't question whether your bank in Chicago will actually pay her. This everyday miracle-so ordinary we barely notice it-represents one of the most profound transformations in human commerce. Visa now processes roughly $4.8 trillion annually, handling 2,000 transactions every second across 200 countries. This isn't just convenient; it's revolutionary. When Warren Buffett invests in Visa for the long haul, he's betting on something deeper than profits-he's investing in the invisible infrastructure that makes modern life possible. The next time you effortlessly pay for coffee in a foreign country or make an online purchase from halfway around the world, pause for a moment. You're participating in one of humanity's most complex and successful technological systems-one that fundamentally changed how money moves and how we think about value itself.
