Have you tried to read the post you are replying to? It clearly refers to online payments which, in this universe, can't be settled with cash. Also, the "static password" securing the credit card transaction is clearly the 16 digit static number printed on the card and the associated metadata, that's what can be stolen.

That “static number” can also be changed if stolen and my money returned. I dont even need to catch the fraud immediately. Most institutions give you 30 days and some higher end options give you 90 days to contest a charge.

Can’t do that if someone steals your crypto wallet or simply doesn’t deliver the goods/services you payed for.

We don't need to turn this into a debate about general merit, this is about the experience of making a payment.
