You don't need to like something to understand it.

And no, credit cards protect you from the merchant. I can call up Capitol One and get them to do a chargeback if I order something online and the merchant never sends it.

It highly incentivizes the merchant to help you, otherwise the only recourse would be to take Amazon to small claims court.

> You actually believe that credit card transactions are private? LOL. They are sold to the highest bidder.

You misread it. Your crypto purchases are public. Literally. Yes, your card purchases are compiled and sold in aggregate, but the entire blockchain is available to anyone.

It's an utter myth that crypto is private or can't be tracked lol
