did you notice tim didn't highlight paypal today
and did youtube's join instead
when you sign up there, you deal with all their baggage
square is a no-go for wrong thinkers though, twitter owns them
so you are probably on an even shorter leash
patreon has a history of high fraud claims, etc.
and many, many people - any of whom may be doing stupid things at any given time
all of which will drive complaints to the payment processors about patreon
and shit runs downhill
we need blockchain for that
What payment services won't kick you off and ban you for "wrong think"?
can simply accept bitcoin transfers now
can't buy bitcoin with credit card in the US
only wire transfer
which makes it enough of a pain in the ass that people won't bother
coinbase doesn't let you transfer in with a debit card?
.. thought it did, last I tried
the change was fairly recent if i recall
bitcoin is too volitile
we need to wait till bitcoin is stable and no more speculative currency or use different one
and that will probably never happen honestly
brave wallet may have the best odds -no idea what the politics there are
idk which is best, i just see how Ethereum is constantly growing it's infrastructure
them problem is not with *a* particular service
there are only a handful of card processors
and they can shut them down
yeah, we need the whole blockchain deal, all of that stuff being there
how does a dedicated blockchain provide a path to rederal reserve notes that is any cleaner that a bitcoin transaction today?
*than a bitcoin...
... and if you have to set up ACH... why not just authorize directly
bitcoin is just a currency, we need infrastructure, banks, blockchain-based servers, AI farms
a bank would be the first step
Clear, open and safe ways to deal with this shit
well
a financial institution that would process payments for anything legal
find some S&L in some dead rustbelt town
and buy it
or do a deal with them
it would probably need to be private
