the US market is hundreds of millions, and the banking system works

infowars has a store and ads for revenue. if i were an asshat like jared holt or his censorious employer 'People For the American Way', that's what i would attack.

you need to look more carefully to understand

if alex jones is accepting credit card somewhere he's vulnerable. direct bank transfers are less vulnerable, but a giant pain in the ass for customers.

Sleeping Giants has pretty much killed the ad business for a lot of sites

ACH is pretty easy, if people are willing to set it up

but that's more for independent journalists than something like infowars

at the infowars scale, there are other options

It sounds like you're preparing for something far more radical than I'm talking about.

I am not preparing for anything radical

There are intermediary steps.

I simply have not accepted the blockchain as my personal lord and saviour

it will be used, where appropriate

and ignored where inappropriate

It is an alternative to banks.

not today

Yes, today.

Silk Rd.

federal prison

not interested

One guy.

Onion router.

yeah - the one who set it up

not interested in being that guy

Will the dudes who designed Monero or whatever by locked up?

Do you think?

Gotta go.

I am in the United States.
Freedom of Speech is not radical here. It is a constitutionally guaranteed right.
... and we don't need a bunch of surveillance and control to enjoy it.

I suppose that actually is radical from the perspective of the EU or UK.

The lefty response to that is to say "the government isn't preventing you from saying anything".

You do have a bunch of surveillance and control though, unfortunately

precisely @Atkins

and that is correct

nobody has any right to force any of these platforms to carry them

...
we don't need blockchain tracking every transaction
and making that information available to the private company that implements the solution @Beemann

That's not what I'm talking about, but okay

we have all the NSA stuff

and the banks cooperate
