    The problem is not so much “paying for stuff without payment processors”. On an individual level, that can fairly easily be achieved.

    The problem is the chilling effect that the puritanical positions of these payment processors have on the creation of art. What are you going to do with your crypto if the game or art you wanted to buy gets self-censored for “compliance” or simply isn’t created anymore?

      That’s already happening for the sake of gaining access to console markets. I find it depressing TBH. However, I think its arguably worth trying to at least put a dent into the issue in any way possible.

        Agreed on both counts, but I’m not very hopeful.

        The older I get, the more puritan the world seems to get, like we’re regressing.
