Having to find an ATM to be able to complete a transaction
Much like cash an ATM isn’t needed by a lot of people as they bank online and use cards. Crypto has all those options as well.
Point is here you either adapt or have to find a new job because old payment processors won’t let you sell your Giraffe bukkake art. It is what it is.
I didn’t “sell it for cash” I paid my VPS hosting bills with it. It’s simple for business to accept crypto these days, couple clicks and they’re set up.
If your business is making NSFW art than you better be willing to adapt.
What potato stays hot for 15 years?
Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.
As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you’re right there.
Now days there’s a coin for every purpose.
Bitcoin = gold bars
Litecoin = mundane transactions
Monero = digital cash
Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.
Like, why dont people who can just move?
Kind of a catch-22.
America is the best country in the world, if you’re rich. Once someones earning a lot and saved up move to New Zealand money the appeal isn’t as strong for most.
immediately go for northern europe
Oof. That’s akin to moving there in 1938. Bit of a risky proposition to say the least.
I wouldn’t move there now if allowed and I don’t even have illegally move to Mexico money.
Ironically this is how dogging got started.
People had no entertainment that summer and took to the car parks to make their own.
I remember when I did the switch in 2008 and never looked back.
I wasn’t far behind you. My first laptop around that time came with Vista installed. Didn’t take long for me to switch Ubuntu after that, haven’t been back to Windows since.
It did. Our one national public channel (PBS) aired it often. Along with Are You Being Served and Allo Allo.
Keeping up Appearances meme out of left field 😂
I’m surprised there’s enough overlap in fanbases for this to have 100+ votes but I’m here for it.
Wow that was a great read. Leif comes across as very perceptive on multiple fronts here.
Unfortunately I think his warning about the internet ending up like “souped up TV” is looking more likely by the day.
Right now it’s quite easy to force a site or service to bend the knee to outside pressure. No matter how right or wrong that pressure is. People will go after hosting and ISPs, if that doesn’t work they’ll tie people up directly in the courts. You must provide real contact info and be willing to play ball if you operate on the old web.
Embracing encryption is the only thing I can think to do to avoid that. Which honestly kind of sucks, because while true anonymity would save sites like Omegle who act in good faith and police themsevles in a reasonable manner, others that don’t will also be protected. I think the pros out weigh the cons with anonymity but that is a hard pill to swallow for many.
Thankfully you can stop it. Go to your watch history and remove videos that are messing up your recommendations.
I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.
