The group responsible is “Collective Shout”, the same org has targeted Steam before.

There are calls on social media now to contact Mastercard, Visa and co. and file complaints.

    Volatility doesn’t mean bad

    Yes, yes it does when we’re talking about a payment system. Hence why no one pays stuff in shares except for some billionairs for tax reasons!

      No one pays in shares because no one accepts this and it’s annoying to do?

      Sure, volatility with crypto is annoying, but it will happen with a currency that works in every country, even fiat is volatile

        Sounds like crypto

        True, but countries have means to keep money more or less stable. Most countries also have laws that are supposed to ensure big money owners don’t collude to play insider trading and pump’n dump every other week

          Yea, it is a bit of a pain as well, but it has some benefits compared to traditional payment methods, unlike paying in shares

          Pretty sure crypto pump and dump criminalization is still a thing. In the end, you’re asking for someone to invest in something you benefit from, which is illegal in some places
