No doubt the threat of a Stripe ban on Kickstarter is predicated on the expected ban on Stripe by MasterCard and or Visa.

In other words, online censorship is being controlled by two credit card companies.

We really need more payment processors, preferably not based in the USA.

I know this isn’t new, but I think we can officially consider our society a cyberpunk one, where corporations control global policy.

Plus: AI assisted omnipresent survailance, Police states, needless tech everywhere, no one owns anything just subscriptions…

Lol nobody gonna want to use an extremely volatile currency as payment processor. Rest of the world just needs to implement system similar to PIX from brazil.

Crypto isnt a payment processor, and it has no backing as a currency except current social agreement (yes thats most money but issued currencies are backed by central authorities) and it basically exists for ponzi schemes. Its so insanely volatile that its not for every day people.

That’s not even mentioning that its sole value is to convert back into regular backed currency.
