  Would this really apply to payments + loyalty cards as well?  If the
payment is anonymous like Apple Pay, there's nothing to bind the loyalty
card to, which makes me wonder if we maybe need "active" loyalty cards
(=backed by private keys).


I always thought of loyalty cards as a stores offering me deals in exchange
for being able to connect my purchases together through an identity, even
if I pay with cash. I bet they'll be used in the same way even if the store
isn't able to discern as much about the ultimate source of the funds used.
