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?
