Any fellow credit card holders notice a major increase in getting new cards shipped out a little more often than normal this year? TBH most people probably wouldn't notice it because a lot of you only have a couple.

But anyways, many of my credit cards were replaced well before their expiration date througout 2018 and I'd like to share the speculation that there was likely mbillions of dollars ~~committed~~fraudulently spent in credit card fraud and that's what fueled driving the price up to 20k and that's why they got pulled so fast out of gateways like coinbase and others.

I think they were pushing out cards with smart chips.

Smarter chips? Anyone I've been talking to, which isn't too much, already had updated cards with chips.

Just saying, I mean sure it could just be security being security .. but I'd suppose it's not much of a leap to connect the 'Equifax biggest breach in history' followed some time later with 'many peoples cards are getting replaced before the scheduled due date and was verbally notified over the phone by bank employee of massively compromised' and 'cryptocurrency stops taking credit cards after biggest runup in history' dots.
