A good amount of money has been stolen from my bank account bypassing the double factor authentication.

I tried to pay with golddust but they would not accept it.

Just the ridiculous things disruptors do. (And how it affects us ordinary people standing in line)

Its like the grocery store. I go in for fast trip and some moron is trying to pay with their phone.
They need a moron line for people who want to pay with silly ways.

I've seen places where people have their act together, the phone works, the money is there, procedure is a habit that has been streamlined - AND the store is actually set up to properly accept phone-based payment, the payment machine is in good working order.

I've been held up in grocery stores where a karen in front of me tries to write a check, and it bounces. That customer had no idea that she has no money in the account? WTF??? And I've seen people who had exact change in coins (yep, even pennies) get through the line in a reasonable amount of time.

Payment method doesn't matter, it matters that both store and customer have their act together.

People act differently depending on the medium of communication and therefore also the medium of exchange they have in their "hands". For example, in a textual chat, you may or may not say things that you would or would not say in real life. So,in a hypothetical system where money doesn't circulate, but goods and services are exchanged, people will express different emotions and behaviors than in a system where the medium of exchanges is only their monetary value. However, I believe that exchanging something tangible creates fewer distortions than exchanging their corresponding values.

Don't tell people they need to become propeller heads when they don't need to.

Please don't scare people into building their own infrastructure when more user-friendly options exist.

That's your point, not mine and I don't want to frighten anyone. I am just saying how I do it to avoid problems with mail.
That's my way to do it.
And you don't have to tell me what I have to write or not on this forum. I find you a bit pedantic.
