It's legal until someone challenges it in court and they say it isn't. Sue.

i wonder if this is the shitgibbons in charge trying to drive up bitcoin prices seeing as how they just publicly bought a bunch of bitcoin.
i know the payment processors have always been prudes but they are really doubling down and its only going to drive folks to crypto.
edit: I don't think it's a good idea either but talk to anyone outside lemmy and ask if they understand the environmental impact of crypto and AI and they have no clue.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Bitcoin is really bad for using as currency, due to the fact that there is a permanent, public ledger of all transactions. Why would you want anyone you pay to be able to see and trace every transaction you've ever made? Pay rent in bitcoin, now your landlord can calculate your spending and who you do transactions with. And yes, there are services that aggregate and obfuscate transactions in order to make them less traceable, but now you've just reinvented the same centralized payment processor system that the whole thing is supposed to be replacing... so... what's the point?
Cash is good for using as currency.

I'm cool with not trying the money that isn't money but instead is an environmental disaster wrapped in explosive deflation.
Looks like Bitcoin does indeed suck, but Etherium and one called Avalanche(?) Are more environmentally friendly.

Probably simpler than all that, at least in the US. The Puritans get something like so passed. Fine. Now who in their right mind is going to stand up and say STOP. Imagine the political smear campaign. And it will all be "for the children".

Oh cool. Minor environmental disasters wrapped in explosive deflation.

Let's make a community run payment processor then. We'll valiantly process porn payments.
I've been thinking this too. I'll use it everywhere just because

A middle man between a vendor and your bank, essentially.

Capitalism is actually the fix for this one for once. Just be the only payment processor that lets you buy anything legal. Demand for your services guarantees your success and the others die out.
Let’s see if republicans still like capitalism now.

Capitalism isn't the fix, banks are in cahoots with visa/mastercard and they will absolutely shut down any competition.

Money is now the enemy.

So, this means that pretty much any paid adult content can't accept visa, right? Or are they just stomping in the small creators for not being profitable enough?
Looking at you, OnlyFans..
wrote last edited by [email protected]For now, they are targeting more niche “taboo” kinks like incest and bdsm. But as we’ve seen time and time again with bigoted, puritanical christofascists, they will not stop there. Next, they come for the queer content. My guess is furry stuff is next under the bad faith argument of “bestiality”, then more standard queer content, including tame non-erotic content. Finally, all erotic content.
Remember, everything sexual is sinful and evil unless its a straight white cis Christian married couple having joyless missionary sex for the purposes of procreation only.

But so insanely annoying to handle and carry with you.

They're already attacking furry content featuring "animal-esque genitalia", as there were people who thought that was "zoophilic". However, I still remember how much anime fans needed to fight, so that kemonomimi (catgirls, etc.) wouldn't been labeled as "zoophilic", which might be the source for the furry/anime divide in the west.
