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

what would be the purpose of a "privacy-respectful" payment system that isn't anonymous?

@gracie @Em0nM4stodon The point is that a lot of companies involved in transactions today sell information about the transactions they process to hundreds of companies unrelated to the transactions. This started as a way to slightly cut the fees charged to merchants so as to undercut competitors, but now it’s just a common business practice.

Full anonymity would be nice, but it’s possible to be better than the nightmare we have today without it.
