After reading such news I have an obvious question. Does anyone know a PayPal-like service, that allows to hide the destination of my transactions from Mastercard / bank, but with a good privacy policy? Or how else can I restrict the usage of my financial data by mastercard or bank?

Until you do your taxes. The government hates crypto.

Taxes in the US for crypto are easy. I sold some crypto I had and just put the amount in the other income box and paid the tax.
