If you get scammed using FIAT you can just call your bank and they can issue a chargeback through the card provider, especially if it's credit.

That may be true. But then the transaction fees are at the mercy of the credit card company. My aunt pays 3% of all card transactions damn near. That's pretty spicy.

I can't wait for the day companies like VISA or Mastercard become obsolete. Please save my aunts small business from predatory transactions fees. ♥
