I have the app, but I'm looking for a re-loadable prepaid physical credit card. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need credit cards, but this is not a perfect world.
I've been pondering the first sentence of A Cypherpunk's Manifesto these days.
"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the digital age."
From what I can tell, an open society is a term coined by Karl Popper. An open society is a free society. People are free to do as they please and talk to whoever they wish to talk to.
When the going gets tough, the tough get authoratarian. They demand, "papers please." Businesses with NO CASH ACCEPTED signs are subtle ways of refusing service to those without papers. Did AI find your face at the trucker protest? Bank account banned. NO CASH ACCEPTED.
If history rhymes, as Mark Twain once quipped, we can expect the world to become more authoritarian while the money continues to break.
Darthcoin makes some good points, but I'm searching for solutions to live free in an unfree world, not knock on door doors and preach the good news of Satoshi. People will accept bitcoin when they need to, but first, we must show them. That's why I'm so bullish on nostr.
Sorry for the long rant. 😅
