See reply to another poster - I meant to point out that if governments move to censor sites the payment processors will move in lockstep to the govt in censoring payments.
Boom! Thats what I was going for. Lemmy seems so anti-crypto when it has real use cases like this. Even here stumbling into where it’s useful you call it bullshit, why?
Well there are risks when using crypto that traditional payment methods have safeguards for. Stealing a wallet ID, no chargeback options, scammers like using crypto because there’s basically no consumer protections in place, lots of these digital currencies are scams, it’s kind of a minefield.
