After reading such news I have an obvious question. Does anyone know a PayPal-like service, that allows to hide the destination of my transactions from Mastercard / bank, but with a good privacy policy? Or how else can I restrict the usage of my financial data by mastercard or bank?
Yeah, Monero is absolutely your best bet for financial privacy in the digital world. There’s nothing that compares.
Actually, cash compares, doesn’t it? Not online of course, but otherwise
I think Taler has a lot of promise. It protects the buyer but keeps a record of the money received. This helps prevent tax evasion.
