On “Breach at Sonic Drive-In May Have Impacted Millions of Credit, Debit Cards”
…arly days of Blu-ray that "no one will buy Blu-ray discs because no one has Blu-ray players". « Merchants have little incentive » Second time you say it, second time you are wrong. I already pointed out their main (largest!) incentive to accept BTC is to avoid chargeback fraud. This fraud is a major problem for merchants. They can go bankrupt (eg. link to this video ) or be drawn into costly suits with no way to recover the money ( link ). Apple Pay P2P will be riddled with roadblocks.

>I don't think it has much to do with that. Sure it does; Russian police do nothing about credit card theft because (and to the point that) that money is ultimately coming out of Western pockets ( link to this video ). Same as the North Koreans with their industrial-level counterfeiting of USD (to name one example), for the same reasons. Might as well be an unofficial letter of marque.
