gollark: "If they start doing stuff you don't want with it, you just have to hope someone notices and stops it, but it might stop transactions you actually want to make randomly anyway."
gollark: "Ah yes, you need to give someone these numbers to make a transaction, and they're literally all written on the card anyway, and if they have the numbers they can arbitrarily make any amount of transactions they want."
gollark: I don't like bitcoin generally, but... well, you have to explicitly make a transaction, what moron designed credit cards?
gollark: Credit cards are a stupid system anyway.
gollark: Alternatively, you can read it as "basically semantics and complaining about people who do not like their stuff tested on".
