>Paying for things with a crypto wallet is legitimately a far, far better experience than fumbling around with credit cards. ... and when you talk about "experience", what do you mean here? I doubt there's a much slicker payment experience than Apple Pay when a vendor supports that, and I'm also pretty sure that my disputing a transaction with Chase is better than an equivalent crypto experience.

I mean paying for things online. Should have mentioned that. I bought a subscription to a tool called Icy.tools a while back. The sign-up process was as follows: - Click the "Sign-Up" button on the website - Click the "Sign" button on the web wallet pop-up. - Click "Pay" on the next screen - Click "Approve Transaction" on the web wallet pop up. That's it. No forms to fill. No emails to share. No credit card info to fill up. An equivalent non-crypto experience would be Sign-up > Share email > Verify email > Fill payment details > Enter OTP on credit card website

  Apple Pay online payment flow: on the checkout form, click the Apple Pay button. OS pops up a form confirming the payment card, amount, delivery address etc. Put finger on Touch ID sensor to confirm. n.b. the payment card details and address come from your Apple Pay wallet; you don't enter them onto the checkout form. Apply Pay Express Transit payment flow for e.g. the subway: touch phone to sensor and go.

  So are you just so into crypto you've lost track of what real life is like? I use Sign In with Apple[0], and it's literally a single click which hides my email, and one more click with biometric confirmation for payments. That's... one fewer click than crypto, and was easier to set up than your crypto wallet, without putting my funds at risk. 0. https://developer.apple.com/sign-in-with-apple/ https://developer.apple.com/sign-in-with-apple/
