Ability to block transactions in home currency

I don’t think that the ability to block transactions in any “home” currency is needed, only the ability to block transactions in GBP. Because Revolut is issued in the UK, merchants doing the Dynamic Currency Conversion scam on a Revolut card will do so always in GBP. Therefore the ability to block transactions in GBP would suffice. I fully support this idea.

It’s not as simple as the above advice to always select the local currency. Last month I saw a currency and amount changed AFTER authorisation, as explained here. Until MasterCard bans DCC, it would be great if Revolut could defeat this scam.
