The solution to the first problem already exists (It's called having your own public/private key), and the solution to the second is to live in pretty much anywhere that's not the United States. Neither of which requires you to pay a cent to the early adopters of the token of the week.

The second isn't as much of a killer app as you think to normies, and neither is the first.

Yes, wallets are essentially client side keypairs plus other tech. They’re way easier to use though as I’m sure anyone with experience in client side keypairs will tell you.

I don’t live in the US and I assure you Visa is still a very big part of daily life in all of Europe, Asia and Australia.
