I guess stripe wasn't kidding when they said they would disrupt online payments.

On a more serious note; How much further is society going to allow this kind of thing? Hiding behind templated e-mails without any explanation. Disrupting people's lives who become collateral damage with no way out.

I rather trust cryptography (and its currencies) than be dependent on VISA or similar.

As a consumer, do you trust cryptocurrencies to get you a refund if the seller fails to deliver the product you've ordered?

It requires a paradigm shift. Automated escrow services could handle almost every dispute where both parties are honest, APIs for validating shipping and handling of goods/egoods could handle another large chunk, and human dispute resolution could handle the remainder.

Such a service could be offered by the legacy payment providers.

I have used such services in the past, but still feel the field is ripe for disruption.
