    Global privacy based Gpay alternative does exist, see monero. Monero is less than ideal because of its volatility though. Also, really difficult to convert to actual money.

    The thing with Gpay (American one) is that they don’t handle the actual transfer for domestic transactions, Visa and Mastercard does.

    Security through obscurity doesn’t really work well. Look at how Windows is closed source yet most malware is made for it due to its.market share.

    Also, Chrome is kinda open source (not completely but look at Chromium).

    With open source, if there is a security issue, it can be identified and fixed quickly. If the dev doesn’t fix it, you or someone else could fork the project and patch it.
