Bitcoin wouldn't be an awful solution to this, but there's certainly a few better ones, such as
- Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
- Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
- Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
- A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.
- Monero for private, almost untraceable transaction, keep furry vore artist under cover and still paid in oppressive country.

that's not just the smallest market it's the most troublesome market which is one of the reasons it's a hot potato. If you limited yourself to just nsfw you would still need the infrastructure to process any types of payments and still be at the bottom of the current players. You would be hamstringing yourself and it would be even tougher.
NSFW and borderline legal stuff (like phone spyware apps) have a chargeback rate that is way higher than traditional retail. Users buy porn then charge it back to their credit card when the post nut clarity sets in. When i worked in the industry that was the constant battle from the retailer side; processors like CCBill were the most lenient but even they would cut you off if your chargeback rate was too high and it was always right on the border. Even on sex toys the chargeback rate is more than double just selling t shirts and stuffies.
I don't know the financial side and have no idea why the chargebacks were such a massive deal to the processors. I can imagine being a small outfit it would be very difficult though if the margins were super thin.

They don't have a lot of things to measure when attempting to address fraud, but that's one of them.

Let's make a community run payment processor then. We'll valiantly process porn payments.
So crypto?

oh that makes perfect sense thanks!

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.
So monero?

Just ban it worldwide and have the police arrest anyone running a node
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

This comic goes from 2020 to 1984, was this comic originally about idiots that compared wearing a face mask to wearing a jew star?
wrote last edited by [email protected]There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That's how this actually became a meme.

That spelling normally infuriates me, but in service of the pun, we're going to have to allow it.
I am a world renowned bad speller, so I thank you for your patience with me.

Speed running the porn companies making their own payment processor
AFAIK there's pay processing business that will do nsfw transactions but they ask for extra money.

The banks/governments can't freeze your bitcoins, nor can they simply print more or regulate the value otherwise.
You're just listing reasons why bitcoin sucks lol. Oh no!!! Flight risk criminals and terrorists had their accounts frozen!!! Oh no, ReGuLaTiOn BaD!!! Grow up.
Finite currencies (like gold/silver/bitcoin) are deflationary currencies and are genuinely absolutely terrible for an economy. That's why we don't use gold anymore.

Myth. Deflation is just negative inflation, and that's been fine.

You can make intermediate wallets to obfuscate transfers, like throwaways, so the wallet that pays your rent is different from the one ordering a dragon dildo and it's hard to say if it's the same person, but it's a hassle and you'll get extra transaction fees.
Obfuscation is not security.

Oh cool. Minor environmental disasters wrapped in explosive deflation.
It takes one wind turbine to run all of Ethereum.
Deflation is not relevant for a transaction.

Yep, that's a major problem. The total pool of currency needs to be able to grow with the economy. Take a first year econ course before speaking

Not really a meme meme, but i felt like i had to :s
Imagine how many more "Thomas Matthew Crooks" are gonna come out of their basements if you ban their porn. Conservatives secretly love their porn. Might wanna rethink the ban.
Or not, I don't mind watching a IRL live movie about a rebellion instigated by...

...banning porn

Go on, back up that statement with references from your first year econ course notes.
Under your model, how was the economy able to grow before 1976?

Gnu Taler sounds like a good idea now
Wow, i didn't know they had made that? Well, never heard about it, but that's cool! I love everything made by/with the GNU Project

What are you trying to say with this? Cause I'm stuck between the very literal and wildly confusing.
I will say, regardless of your further explanation, that deflation makes transactions less likely to happen, which is the whole point of a currency to begin with. Would you rather pay a debt to a friend off with dollars or a cryptocoin? Cause my money is that most people would say the dollars since the crypto could grow, whereas the dollar is always shrinking. A speculative asset is not something most people would give away like they would money.

If you are storing money in a certain currency then inflation is a problem.
If you owe money in a certain currency then deflation is a problem.
If you are quickly moving money from one currency to another then making an instant one off payment, the time span is too small for either inflation or deflation to have an impact.
The price of the service can be quoted as fixed in USD and adjusted in real time on the crypto side.

Gold can be mined.
