  • Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors

  • Who is gonna ask?

    The exchange, the website... It happens frequently

    there are no rules where you send your crypto and you don't have to explain to anyone

    AML and KYC procedures are a thing in crypto, just make a few searches

  • Sounds like crypto

    Yea, it is a bit of a pain as well, but it has some benefits compared to traditional payment methods, unlike paying in shares

    Pretty sure crypto pump and dump criminalization is still a thing. In the end, you're asking for someone to invest in something you benefit from, which is illegal in some places

  • Following crypto trails is easy when there's only one destination..

    You're putting too much trust in the system. If there's a doubt you will be asked to clear it, they won't do it for you

  • Schizo is short for schizophrenia

    Fag is short for faggot, which is already homophobic

    You're really going to compare this to "faggot" and, to an extent, "nigger"? These words are obviously meant to discriminate those people, when I've never seen "schizo" be used to discriminate people having this mental disorder

    You are using their disorder as an example of something that's wrong/bad

    Well it is bad... I believe nobody wants to have schizophrenia, just like dementia and Alzheimer's, yet I believe you're fine with people saying those words when you have bad memory, unless you believe that's a slur as well? I don't believe it was ever meant to discriminate those people, or to say that they are inferior in any way.

    You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.

    Bold assumption to make, when you're making a tantrum about a specific subject. No, we're not. And if I'm wrong, then I'll admit it. Banning straight up for 7 days (iirc) is not the way to go to educate people. You assume bad intentions which can only end up wrong.

    I do agree that using the word like that is inaccurate and might be a bit offensive, but claiming someone is ableist because of this is far fetched

  • No one pays in shares because no one accepts this and it’s annoying to do?

    Sure, volatility with crypto is annoying, but it will happen with a currency that works in every country, even fiat is volatile

  • It’s basically the same as directly sending

    The exchange will know what you spend crypto on

  • They would not, but you would not be anonymous this way. You get problems when:

    • The crypto you received is through a shady source (it could be any individual which pays you with dirty coins)
    • You engaged in pro-privacy activity, which links you with illegal activity, like coin mixers to blur the origin and destination of crypto
    • You received more crypto than you bought

    As long as you stay with centralized exchanges and directly send crypto to some websites, you should in theory always be fine (as long as you don't send them to criminal or pro-privacy services), but that's not the original goal of crypto

    Apart from that, some countries straight up force you to declare every transaction you make with crypto, which isn't doable for most people and puts them in illegality

  • extreme volatility

    You're free to avoid those coins then... volatility doesn't mean bad

    many coins’ value can be easily manipulated by whales

    Yes, just like for stocks and pretty much every product on the market

    most stablecoins are probably one step away of crashing down like Terra Luna

    Stablecoins are often centralized so they're not what the goal of crypto was, but sure. Why not hate the coins instead of the technology instead? Stablecoins are a small part of crypto.

    resource intensive - you can shout about proof of stake all you want, there are still gigawatts of energy being burned to “mint” bitcoin

    If you know this is incorrect, why lie and say crypto is resource intensive when it's only a few that are like that? PoW has its flaws indeed.

    no protections because “code is law”, even when the code is flawed

    Every software you use is not liable for any problems that occurs with it. Incidents will always happen. All recent incidents involved someone getting hacked by other means, being menaced into sending them crypto (so it could happen to anyone with a lot of cash as well for example, or through offshore bank accounts), or a company stealing people. I'm not aware of any code fail.

    Pretty much all CEX are regulated currently. And with AML and KYC coming more and more (which is bad for crypto), the "no protections" claim is really false.

    forking risk nearly every year

    So? In case of a fork, you keep both coins... so you should still keep the value of both?

    the coins that aren’t as resource intensive, have fast transaction times and negligible fees, are unlikely to gain traction or receive widespread adoption

    Isn't that the case of Solana? But yea currently there are problems with too many coins relying on PoW, but some just can't do without it, like Monero. It's the cost of having this system.

    you still have to go through the hoops of a heavily regulated exchange to get actual money from any crypto you have

    That's because of regulation and the banking system, not the fault of crypto? It's because people called crypto a scam that it became like that. You can still use the crypto to purchase stuff with it instead of getting fiat. Receiving money from P2P bank transfers is also similar to this, you'll get asked questions as soon as you go out of the normal way.

    People calling crypto a scam don't think this much through. It's just more hard and complex than there is to the eye. Most people interface with crypto solely for trading, and people want quick profit through shitcoins, which is a very bad idea, then complain on the system. You should think twice before investing in stuff you don't understand: whether it's crypto, stocks, NFTs, in game items...

  • Except Monero and a few exceptions, AML and KYC checks are everywhere. Tainted coins and shit.

    Crypto goes somewhere that they don't like? Crypto is seized when it reaches an exchange and they ask for ID and source of funds

  • And that's a great thing

    But people like to hate on crypto because surely a centralized and privacy unfriendly payment system is better

    They believe crypto = ERC20 + NFTs = scam, when the real goal of crypto is P2P uncensored transactions, and getting away of this centralized system
