Bitcoin: Update network descriptions to be more accurate

I think entering a credit card number isn't a pain for most people (from a safety and convenience perspective). It's a good enough solution, and crypto is not helping people 10x in this matter.

I don't think entering the cc number is the source of pain but rather it is entering a permanent account number that is thereafter always subject to being stolen. Using digital cash would be a wonderful alternative.

Sorry just saw this. That's what I meant by "safety". I don't think the average person cares or even knows that it could be a problem.
