privacy is the main reason. corporations can not steal/sell your private data if customers are not giving them the private data. giving the data is not necessity with bitcoin.
yeah for me privacy is also really important, besides that i really like to have control over my own money as i dont need to use any banks
And what is the connection of your statement to the thread title?
If customers will use bitcoin in purchasing in some of the big online merchants out there, it's mandatory to give your personal details to them since it's part of taking security and concern for their clients. Even in fiat transactions that is required. If people don't want the idea then don't desire to accept bitcoin by those big merchants.
Lol he had qouted a comment that he wanted to react, basically when someone qouted a statement, he must comment in it, not commenting on the qouted statement will render the message as spam because the person who qouted it is just saying something out of the blue and not related to the qouted statement, the same way you did and what i did to my qouted statment.
Anyway as to the topic, I think the one reason why customers uuse bitcoin is that, their fund cant be accesed by other people, unlike credit card or visa card that many user's details and card numbeer where hacked and used tto purchase stuff online by hackers.
I know. He must also add some insights about the topic and not only pointing to the comment he stated like you did in that post.
Anyways back to topic, Id like just to point out that privacy is the priority of the merchants but you must give your personal details. Big merchants online needs an account before anyone can purchase good in their store. And because that merchant is legal and all they complying with the regulations of online selling they must known at least some information with their customer. So if ever customers will use bitcoin don't mind giving out some personal infos.
