Re: This is why we should all use Bitcoin and no more credit cards.
So, I buy a Amazon Kindle Fire, because I like to read. When you configure it for the first time, you have to login with your
Amazon account (obviously) and then you are presented with 2 x FREE audio books. I accept the 2 x FREE books, to test the
audio and also to experience audio books for the first time. (I prefer reading the ebooks, but I thought I would give it a try, to
see what it sounds like.)
A month down the line, I get a sms notification from my Bank, notifying me of a payment done to "Audible" so I phone my
Bank. They inform me that it is a monthly subscription to Audible.com. (I never gave consent for "Audible" to sign me up for a
monthly subscription) This is how they do it ---> http://prntscr.com/ksqxhv (I never even saw that, when I was offered the
2 FREE books) !!!!!!!! Why would I sign a subscription if I just wanted to listen to the so-called FREE books?
In any way, I logged in again and cancelled the subscription and it already billed me for next month.
Now, this will NEVER happen with Bitcoin, because nobody can automatically withdraw money from your Bitcoin address. You
have FULL control over your own money.

But still few want adopted bitcoin as a payment due to high fee and random transaction speed.
Agree to that, when you have already linked a credit card in some big sites like amazon, people can manipulate you because they will have now an acess in your credit card impormation, this is a lesson for us not to just give or even use credit cards for shopping online, btc is still the best to use.
