> Maybe I'm confused. Why is the address, name and email necessary for BTC payments? Is it a stripe requirement? Its necessary in that they need a place to send your stuff. Email is often used for accounts and confirmation. This would also be stored by whatever system you are using if you are a repeat customer: Amazon, Stripe, etc. My point is that its a wash and that they are not comparing like for like in an attempt to make credit cards more complicated than they are. > And, as you probably know, a bitcoin address is WAY more secure than a CC#. They are nowhere near "equivalent" If you read my post beyond the first few sentences, then yes, I know that and specifically discuss it. The context of the first paragraph is discussing whether credit cards are more difficult to use in terms of inputting information. The equivalence here is that there is some number that you have to input somewhere to make the payment. Thats it. There's no other inferences beyond that.
