Then people will pay with other means. There’s tons of crypto bullshit options out there to choose from.

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.

All valid concerns. I’d argue all also manageable with some education, experience, and common sense.
