My order is:

• iDeal (convenient Dutch banks' system)

• PayPal linked to bank account

• I've usually paid at this point

• cryptocurrency

• credit card because it's such a pain in the ass

Why is a credit card a pain in the ass you just type in your pin or use contactless and in many paces credit cards have greater protection than cash or debit card.

Why trust PayPal which has nugatory regulation and is prone to freezing account's on a whim

For websites that support it, Apple Pay is faster and safer than all of that.

Why? I’ve paid for computer equipment and plane tickets using cryptocurrency several times. Just scan a QR code and press send.

I’ve also encountered friends at lunch using mobile crypto wallets to split the bill. “Can I just send you some dai?”

Kinda like when someone from the U.S. mentions Venmo to a European. :)

It's one of the dozens of proprietary corporate mobile payment systems that only work in specific nationalities and only in conjunction with bank accounts...

I guess that’s the kind of thing that PSD2 will enamel on a pan European scale
