Bah Humbug. This is about the 3rd time in 4 years that I've had to cancel a compromised credit card.

It is way past time that #Visa and #Mastercard fundamentally change the nature of credit card authorization.

Using a fixed expiry date and CVV which *must* be given to every merchant in plaintext and which changes just once every three years is just broken.

At the very least they could let us vary the last couple of digits of the card number so we can associate a suffix with a vendor as otherwise we are completely in the dark as to how the CC was compromised.

(Yes, I know about virtual numbers, but very few card issuers offer this feature or they severely limit the number of virtual cards you can activate).

Execução de garantias do Will Bank pela Mastercard comprova que Master tinha participação no BRB: Com o movimento da operadora de cartões, ficou comprovado que Daniel Vorcaro era, sim, o dono de ao menos parte das ações do Banco de Brasília https://valor.globo.com/financas/noticia/2026/01/21/execuo-de-garantias-do-will-bank-pela-mastercard-comprova-que-master-tinha-participao-no-brb.ghtml #Mastercard #WillBank

Mastercard executa garantia de dívida e assume 32% das ações da Westwing: Plataforma digital de móveis e decoração teve papéis oferecidos como garantia de compromisso financeiro não honrado.

Mastercard deixa de aceitar cartão do Will Bank em compras, diz jornal; entenda: A Mastercard teria deixado de aceitar transações feitas por cartões emitidos pelo Will Bank, que fazia parte do grupo do Banco Master e entrou em Regime https://www.moneytimes.com.br/mastercard-deixa-de-aceitar-cartao-do-will-bank-em-compras-diz-jornal-entenda-lmrs/ #Mastercard #WillBank

💳 #Mastercard se adentra en la infraestructura #cripto, reavivando el debate sobre si #Bitcoin alcanzará el millón de dólares en 2026. El mercado reacciona con cautela ante las nuevas apuestas institucionales.

@F3715H @JuxGD I second this one.

1. Obviously #Monero peaked recently because everyone who can is dropping #USD for #XMR and is #GTFO'ing the #USA due to #Trump...

2.I've seen "#ProofOfStake" #Shitcoins like #Ethereum and #Solana with setups that are way more wasteful, expensive and #hoarding of hardware like #RAM and #SSDs [the latter one being basically destroyed due to extreme #IOPS].

I've yet to see any credible evidence of commercial #MoneroFarming / #MoneroMining to exist to a scale even remotely as close to those #Shitcoins with entire #Datacenters dedicaded to them (I sadly can't divulge more due to NDAs)...

3.If you have no problem with #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard ¹ (and espechally #PayPal!)² ³, then you shouldn't have a problem with Monero either!

Yes it is a #cryptocurrency, but it's the "least worst" when it comes to #privacy, #centralization and some study seem to hint that Monero and the DNMs that use it actually reduce #StreetCrime and #Violence as they allow #NonviolentDrugOffenders [aka. #VictimlessCrimes] to be facilitated safer and in a trustless envoirment.
The Problems associated with #Monero are not due to the fault of Monero. It's what people do towards other people. Whether they do it for XMR, #Dollar, #Euro, or whatever doesn't make it better or worse than whether someone threatens a person with a knife or a rifle: Both are equally bad in the eyes of the law and society for all the righr reasons!

Also Monero per it's very design CANNOT be abused for "#SmartContracts", #NFTs and associated #malware - in fact the #developers of Monero removed any such ability by deprecating and disabling the tx_extra feature.

So in that regard, Monero by it's privacy is IMHO more ethical than even a #BankAccount because unlike a #Bank and like cash, #SelfCustody of it gives YOU 100% control over the funds, which is important amidst #Debanking attacks by the #Trump-Regime against opponents around the globe! Something @RoteHilfe found out recently...
