Stop Google Wallet

15th post of my Stop Google serie.

Google Wallet is a payment system very similar to PayPal.

Alternatives

Well… it's a payment system… which means that you need a bank at some point, which means that it's going to be difficult to get more ownership there (yeah I know, it's YOUR money).

How someone could pay for something without having Google/MasterCard/Visa/NSA/YourGovernment/YourBank knowing about it? What about cheap micro-payments?

• Use cash (low tech powa).
• Use a digital currency like Bitcoin.

If you have a bitcoin wallet, you can for instance easily give me some bitcoins in one click.
