By that logic, any site that allows to display third party content is a phishing/spam site and should be blocked - including twitter, facebook, HN and of course gmail.

I'm glad you enjoy our dystopian world.

Good for Denmark, it doesn't exist here. Plus, there is no way I will install a proprietary banking app. For this to be acceptable, it needs to be a standard and have multiple implementations. At which point, using cryptocurrencies is the easiest way.

And for people often saying it's a solution in search of a problem : that's why we need cryptocurrencies. At least, the ones that could be used as actual currencies.

It would be so much better if I could click a payment link that opens an external wallet software like "mailto:" links, verify the amount it proposes to transfer, and click "send" to send the money at the prefilled address instead of allowing someone to take it.

I really hope that one day, we'll tell our grandkids about that time where we were giving secret codes on the internet and anyone having them could take money on our account as they wish, and those kids will think we're delirious.

Do you know wikisource? [1]

It contains hundreds of thousands of public domain books that you can read online or download. You can even download the whole collection as a zimfile [2], readable with kiwix [3]. Obviously all without DRM/phone home spywares/forced updates/remote control.
