Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content

They don’t need to start a payment processing company. All they gotta do is start accepting crypto again.

I mean come on, the solution is so obvious. This is what cryptocurency was designed for. But Lemmy refuses to see it. You’ll just downvote me and call it a scam like you always do.

The problem is not with crypto itself, it’s with the part of the community (certainly the loudest) who have been telling the public to treat it as an investment asset.

  For me, the fact that you have to burn down an amazon forest for every transaction kinda matters, too.

    Eth supposedly solved this problem with proof of stake

  And then people associate crypto with scam even if that’s incorrect because they don’t know better

This, but hating on crypto is trendy

  Trendy and morally correct. If we can hate on Mastercard for the banning of adult content on Steam, we can blame crypto and the people around it for the scams and the continuing environmental harm.

    Why blame crypto instead of the specific parts of a different community? You can’t generalize a group because of the actions of a few individuals
    
    Cryptos impact is high but not as much as many other fields, and it’s not for the love of profit, but as a necessity to protect a decentralized currency used by lots of people
    
    Many cryptos don’t even have any environmental cost

    Why use Mastercard as an excuse to move to crypto? You can’t generalize the problems of the current monetary system because of the actions of a few. Crypto’s impact is high? It is a non-essential. Many cryptos don’t matter. And bitcoin, as the one people gravitate towards, is awful for the environment, for something that is a non-essential (and not even a practical currency).
