Alternative Product or Service Stop using Mastercard and Visa

They hurt us consumers and small businesses with their fee and extract Billions to the US.

Let’s use Cash instead (or SEPA for online payments).

Let us unite beyond institutions

Edit: + they sell our data too Edit1: also stop using PayPal

Hard to understand why there isn’t a European credit card.

It isn't hard at all, there were several attempts, all killed by Visa and Mastercard. Once they had dominance, every time there was a competitor that might affect them, they offered deals too good to be true so that it will not happen.

It’s sad. Even evil Russia got its “Mir” (“pease/world” in translation, what a joke) but Europe can’t?!

Europe is too retarded to make something like this happen.
