Comment no one wants anti-amazon (Score 1) 32

The sellers may want "a direct relationship with their customers". But no one really want a "direct relationship with their seller", as a customer, I just want amazon to handle my return with free shipping, no questions asked. I personally find it very difficult to return things when directly dealing with independent sellers. I prefer amazon so much, that I would pay extra couple dollars on a $20 item just so I can buy with amazon prime, the guarnateed ease of return is worth it.

Agreed, I've proposed a solution many years ago, basically make a law that says: "to spend $100 on in game purchase, you must put up $10000 as security deposit, the company will hold the money for 6 months and then release it back to you." This is to ensure that if the money was being spent without the parent's knowledge, it would not be financially destructive to a family.

No, service providers are always a good thing. Bitcoin's biggest feature is that the currency's printing is controlled by math, not by a central bank. The transmission is controlled by a trustless P2P network, not by a banking network. But there will always be services built around it, and it's a good thing.
