So for that bitcoin fee, I get fraud protection too? So as a consumer I can challenge a fraudulent charge? And the money, it doesn’t leave my account until I say so? Oh wait no? I get none of those guarantees? Just a “good luck! Buyer beware!”

No thank you. I’ll stick with my credit card. If I want to pay for something semi anonymously I’ll use cash.



No and you know that. Bitcoin is semi-anonymous cash and it and it’s ilk are basically the only cash you can send digitally.

You should stick with your credit card, that was literally always allowed.


Right but the comment I responded to was comparing transaction fees. I pay zero transaction fees for using cash. I am willing to pay some small percentage to help protect me from fraud (and I have used that protection). Why would I pay a fee AND assume all the risk?
