So a few family members use Google for mobile payment. They are aware of the privacy implications but are there any good alternatives? PayPal is just as bad and any other alternatives I found are crypto.
I was a heavy user of plastic payments, then I found Google wallet to be so convinient and easy to use that I used it for almost all of my cards. Then I realized the privacy implications of using those, so now I’ve fallen back to use cash: I use my bank cards only on the ATM to withdraw cash, and ocassionally I use my CC on big purchases or online shopping only.
Crypto has never enticed me enough.
Crypto doesn’t solve a problem, it prevents a problem from happening ( banking surveillance )
Crypto is the real solution but the volatility introduced by speculating crypto bros, and subsequent lack of transactional use due to hoarding and exploding network cost, ruins the concept.
At the moment I use cash for privacy, Privacy.com cards for recurring automated payments, and a Discover card for everything else.
The only private payment method is cash.
Samsung pay/wallet.
Can you justify this suggestion?
