Transaction companies should not play police, in my opinion
In fact no company should play being police
This is why we have the digital market act
How are transaction offering companies not included there? Who gives them the right to choose what people consume?
Way do much centralised power
Basically a dictatorship
Fuck that
I mean, they have no problems offering transaction services to obvious scams like “find sex in your region” and other scammy find relationship websites.
This will never go away. Payment processors make life easy for most consumers, people like them. And as long as we have them, they hold all the power around how money can be used. And they will always be limited by governments and local laws.
If you don't like the situation, use cash. If that's too inconvenient Bitcoin is essentially your only other option.
They have the power because states gave it to them. States can very easily take it back. But they won't because they're corrupted assholes.
Not even... They have the power because you gave it to them. States can take it away, but that's worse, you don't want that.
But it doesn't really matter, it's all connected. The payment processors control how money can be used and the state controls how they're allowed to let you use it. And you let it all happen by voluntarily using a credit card.
How do you pay for a steam game without a credit card?
Bitcoin, or maybe better the millions other way more efficient alternatives 😜
Edit: “or better” instead of “and”, as I wanted to say that nearly any other crypto coin is more efficient than bitcoin. 😁
Or i wanted to say, if you offer bitcoin payment , please offer alternative crypto coins as well…
Not so sure anymore xD
At least the main thing I wanted to say, is that bitcoin is very inefficient.
"Bitcoin" and "efficient" do not fit together like that...
I guess you interpreted my comment wrong..
What I say is that basically any alternative crypto coin is way more efficient than bitcoin and thus it would be dumb to go for bitcoin compared to the trillion other crypto coins.
✌🏻
ah, that makes more sense!
just as an aside, for future reference:
you wrote,
when you really meant to write:
it may be s subtle difference, but when you write "and" it means bitcoin AND the other alternatives are efficient.
when you use "or" instead, it means bitcoin OR the more efficient alternatives.
so my interpretation was correct. you just didn't write what you thought you did...
Ohh, yea, guess that are symptoms of my native language being swiss german 😆 we use sometimes strange word-combinations for comparison of stuff
Thank you for the head up!
hey, no worries!
just felt like it might be useful to know where the misunderstanding happened
i'm glad if it helped, cheers!
