>You are thinking only from the side of a customer, who already has it easy with the existing payment networks.

And you're pretending the customer doesn't exist by saying that crypto eliminates the chance for fraud. That's clearly a lie.

Do us a favor: instead of nitpicking to attack something that I never said, please consider the best possible interpretation of an argument.

When I say about eliminating fraud, I mean fraudulent payments. What happens after the transaction is a separate problem, and not one that is meant (or possible) to be solved by crypto.

If you as a customer want more safeguards, then of course it is not recommended and you should use other alternatives.
