> It seems to me that these alternatives (Chip & sign, chip and pin, carrying a credit card at all) all compete poorly with the "tap my phone to pay" offerings.

Sometimes I need to read comments like this to remind me that Hacker News is full of people who live inside the SF tech bubble where this sentence is considered a reasonable idea, and I shouldn't take HN too seriously.

I still have never seen someone use Apple Pay or android pay in real life. I live in DC. I've used Apple Pay for lyft but it's more annoying than uber just having my card on file.

I don't even know how to swipe my phone.
