The idea of using Bitcoin or Ethereum to pay for anything always seemed insane to me. I don't want my info about payments I've made to be public, espcially not in a form where, by design, it will never disappear!

I mean bank and CC transactions are remembered, but due to them being privacy-sensitive information, this is tightly secured and (depending on where you are and probably a load of other factors), deleted after a mandatory retaining period.

Tell it to the coffee shops you visit for the first time that send you an email receipt.
