We need a solution to process international payments that isn't an American fintech company or cryptocurrency and is privacy-respectful like yesterday.

Please 🙏

Edit: By privacy-respectful, I don't mean anonymous. I mean a solution that practices data minimization, and does not share and monetize the data it collects.

@Em0nM4stodon Good Luck finding anything at all...

Again: Good luck finding something, because the #US will basically criminalize anything even remotely competing to their " #Quadropoly " of #AMEX, #Visa, #MasterCard & PayPal!

@kkarhan @ParadeGrotesque That's what I'm saying though. This doesn't exist yet. But there is a great need for it.

@Em0nM4stodon @ParadeGrotesque yeah, I just acknowledge that so far it's extremely unlikely to ever be allowed to exist

  • Cuz there was a system pre- #wero known as #GeldKarte¹ which did a lot but suffered from being strictly #prepaid & #Chip + #PIN only (a #contactless variant known as #girogo was launched but saw even less acceptance & users) , so not even competing with #Pasmo & #Suica on a national comparison. Until then #girocard is the "controlled opposition"
  • #PaySafeCard works great online but I've never heard nor seen of any acceptance in-store ( #retail or #restaurants) and it's limit to €100 (due to " #AML " / " #CTF ") as well as strict #C2B limits (no #C2C transactions possible!) makes it not a replacement of #PayPal.
  • #Monero does work great, but the continued #debanking attacks are #FUD|ding consumers despite it being "the least worst option" currently existing!
