Stripe doesn't cut it because it's on the merchant's site, so I have no way to tell if it's actually stripe or if they're pretending to be stripe.
A lot of small tech-related web shops do take Bitcoin though- so if I think I can trust them (and if Bitcoin is an option) I will use that instead.

- Bizarro 9y agoCan you explain your response to his comment. He was just making a statement of preference, and nothing to do with praising anybody. It's just better off not to make the type of comments you made, tying to weave your personal preferences into some else's statement of preference by interjecting some form of relativity of "evilness".

So you will replace a payment method that has a method for recourse when you get fucked with one that is completely irreversible? That doesn't make any sense at all. Even if Paypal or your CC isn't perfect, at least you have some form of recourse. With bitcoin, when you get fucked over, you are completely shit out of luck.
