    It’s not even really private unless you’re using Monero similar (which you can’t buy on most exchanges for that very reason). Most CC blockchains are entirely public ledgers that are very thoroughly mapped out by government agencies and by private companies looking to monetize the data.

      Yeah i know. But i know stuff is as private as it could be. If need be, i could even go to an atm-kinda-thingie here and trade cash for some CC. Totally anonymous. But everything is better (in regard of privacy) than using a credit/debit/whatever-card.

      Of course it’s - privacy considering - stupid to buy CC on some major (American even) platform with paypal or my other fiat-cards.
