#MastercardStablecoinCards Mastercard and MoonPay launch cards for payments with stablecoins — USDT, USDC, DAI. It sounds like a revolution, but in practice, it’s more an illusion of freedom.

All transactions are automatically converted to fiat, and the seller won't even know that you used crypto. Essentially, this is not about decentralization, but rather about imitation.

The card is directly connected to your crypto wallet, which instead of transparency provides complete oversight: mandatory KYC, the ability to freeze funds, transaction tracking — all under the guise of "convenience."

The entire architecture operates on the centralized platform Iron, purchased by MoonPay. Control is concentrated in one hand.

There is no legal framework, and no accountability either. Mastercard is moving forward without looking back. And if something goes wrong — the user will suffer.

Cryptocurrency was conceived as an alternative to banks, and now banks have tamed it to strengthen their position forever.

This is not Web3. This is the old Web2 model disguised as a new era. Passport and consent to surveillance — included.
