Chainlink x Mastercard just dropped a sleek way to buy crypto with your credit card.

But let’s be real: it’s fast food finance. Looks good, feels easy but it’s ultra-processed, centralized, and cooked up on legacy rails.

You’re trading:

-Your identity (KYC)

-Your privacy (card tracking + wallet linking)

-Your sovereignty (regulated chokepoints)

-For some slick UI and the illusion of “on-chain”

This isn’t decentralization. It’s fintech wearing a blockchain hoodie.

Chainlink becomes the oracle gatekeeper. Mastercard calls the shots. Shift and ZeroHash hold the leash. And once that data’s logged, it’s permanent.

If you’re here to opt out…not just swap assets…this ain’t it.

This is crypto for consumers, not citizens.
