What about investments?

Loading prepaid debit cards at gas stations sounds like a rough life. I'd like to think that I'd have more conviction for privacy if it came to that, but everyone has their line I guess.

Ppl say this with such conviction but what about your bank website? What if it becomes industry standard and you have no other options? Just going to keep all your money in cash?
