Then I'll return to cash and cash-alike prepaid cards?
Prepaid debit cards are a multi-billion dollar industry in the US, they will lobby against any type of requirement to have digital identity verification to use their cards online or in apps.
After the Patriot Act, how in the hell do you acquire prepaid debits‽
Go to most grocery stores you'll see them with all the gift cards, the visa prepaid cards are either set at certain limits, like $50 or so, or if I remember correctly there are some where they set the value at checkout.
They ask for ID. Do it right now. You can't buy them without IDs.
