This is what crypto was made for. No more censorship by toxic duopoly.
There is a long road before we make crypto friendly for small Internet transactions for the general public. Interac is 80% there already. 5 % of the job is having Internet infrastructure accept Interac and big players like Shopify can make it work in a heartbeat. Transactions outside of Canada won’t support Interac for the foreseeable future. The last 15 % is a law, in Canada, that protect fraudulent transactions up to 75$ / the ability to reverse a charge if you don’t get what you payed for.
Any suggestions and ideas should be aimed at solving the second problem. An incomplete fix would be a dedicated account that your bank won’t connect to your main account outside of your self initiated transfers. Having the ability to reverse a transaction and some level of fraud insurance will involve higher fees. Canadian banks can make Interac as attractive as Visa if they want, but only for domestic transactions.
I thought crypto was made to buy weed. /s
That's literally what I thought Insta-gram was for. I only knew of it because dealers used it and I thought it allowed you to get a gram delivered almost instantly.
Can't wait for US government to sue blockchain for facilitating illegal transactions
It’s made for the dark web. A hell of a lot worse than just weed.
It isn't made for dark web. It's made for everyone, no matter the usecase
