If you are expecting $100 and are only going to get back $50, are you happy that your purchasing power has increased and you are really getting $51 back, or are you angry that you've actually lost $49.
The crisis is the default, not the deflation.

Also LOL at the change in value being $1. Bitcoin is finite, permanently, forever. 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, bitcoin will continue to deflate year after year. At least gold can be mined, although at some point we will have extracted it all. The 2% deflation in your example is an absurd underestimation. Percentages in the hundreds to thousands is more realistic.
Deflationary currency is a great way to kill an economy, there's no motivation to invest and accept any risk when all you have to do to increase your wealth dramatically is wait, risk free. Economic activity comes to a grinding halt.

cryptocurrency is absolutely not going to be a substitute. what happens when your client's money drops in value halfway through working on their commission?

Speed running the porn companies making their own payment processor
I'd open a KinkPay account, when offered.

Wait what? OF banning porn? Is it 2021 again?
This isn't new. It's been happening for a while now.

Easy. Agree on the price in a more stable currency, and pay the equivalent in crypto when the work is done.

oh wow, it's that easy? we should do it with other things like piracy, human trafficking, tax evasion, insider trading, bribery, cyberattacks and environmental violations as well. oh wait, we did? it didn't stop it? i'm shocked. /s
Tax evasion is legal several places.

I have no idea why all of a sudden payment processors care bout anything but money. What happened ?
Bad press?

Obfuscation is not security.
yeah, just grants you plausible deniability

You know bitcoiners will still be mining for over 100 more years.

Another lazy myth regurgitated. You were obviously an exam crammer, not a thinker.
People choose more over less. They will still invest in risk free bonds paying an interest rate because they will end up with more money. They will still invest in risky assets for the same reason if there were no deflation. More money.

Technically "mining" does not end because there will always need to be more blocks if there are new transactions. Minting new coins that get awarded to miners is what ends in a bit over 100 years. And then what happens? My point stands.

It's fact. You can't even refute it besides desperate name calling and just stating the opposite.
Sorry that reality isn't fun for you.When your system entirely hinges on people not considering risk...
denying that risk is a factor in risk-reward calculus because "PeOpLe WaNt MoRe" is totally convincing, big winner of an argument. They want more, and they can get more... by doing absolutely nothing... so that's exactly what they'll do to get the more they want. They could get more by robbing a bank or selling their kidney!!!! Oh wait, that's right, risk...

I'm not calling you names. I'm saying you have demonstrated no ability to think independently. I don't think you are a LLM but likely you are copy pasting from one.
You can't even refute it
I did. You seem unable to process the responses I write or even the links you post.
When your system entirely hinges on people not considering risk.
I wrote the opposite. That under deflation people will still make risky investments because it will make them money. Yet again you demonstrate an inability to comprehend.

Money under the mattress earns deflation
-
Money invested earns deflation + interest.
The second is more than the first.

Time for Europe to get its own payment processor and stop being dependent on companies from Gilead.

- Money invested earns deflation + interest.
That's incorrect, money LOANED earns deflation + interest, not money invested. Money invested loses out on the deflation.
You have 1BTC. You exchange the 1BTC for 1 unit of an investment. As BTC deflates, it's buying power increases. When you go to sell your investment, you find that 1BTC still buys 1 unit of the investment, even though your investment grew in value during the same period of time. You could have done nothing to get the same result, without risking the volatile investment losing value instead of gaining. The higher the return needed to outpace deflation, the riskier the investment needs to be. Deflation worked against the investment, not with it.
Inflationary currency motivates investment and consumption. When your money is going to lose some value anyway, you might as well take a risk and invest it for a potential reward. You might as well make that large purchase today, because your money will buy a little less tomorrow. This is healthy for the economy.
You are correct that deflation adds on top of interest, which makes loans more expensive. This stifles an economy by decreasing demand/consumption and the flow of money through the economy. When loans are more expensive to pay back, people are discouraged from taking a business loan and starting a new business or taking out a loan and investing it or using it to make a large purchase.

Lol I'm literally giving you a free education. You should be paying me for this. It's something that you're still responding after your argument has been torn to shreds with my every reply, without fail. The name calling and LLM accusations creep in as you start to realize you're wrong and desperately cling to denial. The cracks are already showing lol. Getting tired of trying to spin inconsistencies? Like I said, it's effortless to just be correct.

These conservatives are old, so they are trying to "conserve" ideals that were out of touch in their own time
No. Conservatism has always only been about conserving aristocratic/oligarchic socio-economic power structures and establishing them where absent. Those are the only ideals they've ever had. All of the test was just a facade to pretend that their ideology has any place in a free, open, and equitable society.

the economic moat of regulations and infrastructure that has to be overcome before you even can start acquiring customers. You would need a massive capital outlay just to start in last position to compete. Then you have to pay your sydadmins and sales and help desk and administration for how long before you have enough customers to break even? all on a gamble that the government won't hamstring you on behalf of their corporate sponsors. and who is to say the rest of the financial world won't cut you off; you can't process payments if you can't access users banks, it's all cooperative between entities that benefit from it being a small club.
all of this risk to capture the relatively small nsfw market looks like a bad gamble to me, even though i strongly support the nsfw market myself! I spent decades in e-commerce and nsfw ecommerce and it's trickier than it might look.
The most likely to succeed at the moment, IMHO, would be a standardization of the various local payment systems in Europe, and there is already some movement in that direction in a growing group of countries, but it probably needs a push from the EU itself, similarly to how GSM was pushed as a standard for mobile communications by European governments as a group and ended up dominating globally (which is also why, for a period and until smartphones became a thing, European mobile telephony companies were wildly successful).
I'm sorry for Americans who aren't assholes (most here in Lemmy as far as I can tell) but the rest of the World does need to decouple from speed-running-to-Gilead America at all levels before it's too late.

Collective Shout happened, an australian organisation decided to wage global war on anything NSFW in games (so far), their key talking points are allegedly being feminist and anti-exploitation of women.
i wonder if they asked the women they're saying they're protecting if they want that "protection", or if they're imagining that women just don't make NSFW art

Now that weed is being widely accepted legally, porn is the new prohibition.
two steps forward ten steps back, eh?
