I mean one that only exists locally?
there are thousands and thousands
find one
Where?
anywhere
who cares?
Not where I have lived.
bank, credit union
literally every small town has them
internet banks
the list is endless
Maybe in the US, a legacy of your history of decentralised currencies.
Not anywhere I have lived.
find one that is comfortable with your business, and implement ACH for your supporters
quickbooks has it built in
There are local branches which represent a handful of national and international banks.
all you need is a financial institution that handles transactions
and will sign a contract with you that they cannot breach
AND
here is the key
every individual publisher needs to do that
Apparently, Sargon was banned from Patreon now.
yup
Honestly, I don't see it as a) censorship resistant or b) practical, or even possible, in the jurisdictions I have lived in (4 countries in total).
I understand your reticence about blockchains.
But a) there are blockchains which are properly private and circumvent censhorship
But, then again when a door is shut, a window is open.
We can always use the Blockchain, as there's no third party involved
you don't see establishing a contractual banking relationship as possible @Heteronymus Bosch
and b) it's happening whether you like it or not.
let it happen
If Sargon can be seen as violating Patreon ToS, I don't think anyone who isn't a flaming progressive is safe.
nobody is safe
on SOMEONE ELSE's platform
this isn't rocket science
either you build your own busines - or you don't honestly have one
I'
Unless you have a few billion to launch your own bank and credit card, none of this blockchain bullshit is going to help. You still have to interface with the real world economy at some point, and at that point they'll shut you down.
This is why crypto is the future. It's supposed to be used and traded as a currency, not stock.
Visa, Mastercard, and the banks are all hostile.
m not sure you are aware of the power that the state has - without court approval - over banks in some countries.
the intelligent point of interface is a contractual banking relationship
Blockchain.
for crypto to replace bank currency, the entire world would have to adopt it
