  • I’m not opposed to this but I don’t understand what this has to do with opposing Trump. Europe could just make their own payment providers. Actually already exists, iDeal/Wero type shit. We could have eliminated dependence on Visa Mastercard and Paypal ages ago given enough political will. In the Netherlands most online purchases have gone through iDeal for ages now. Germany is still licking PayPal boots because we hate nice things.

    But digital cash (which is what this should be called IMO, to be less confusing), can be a fine solution depending on how it’s implemented. Hoping for something like the GNUTaler, that protects buyer anonymity.
