Tupã bless Brazil's pix.

At least I can still buy porn from local furry artists.

Doubt it, how else will Onlyfans funnel money ... elsewhere?

Now imagine someone who is not the last person in Europe, but the last person in the world lol...

This is why some of us love crypto currencies so much despite the hate it gets from so many who claim there is no intrinsic value, it's a scam, etc.

Stay away from shit coins, no doubt, but the intrinsic value is that you can side step all of the bullshit and spend your money as you choose. No need to get permission first. It's looking to be a much better path forward, and payment processors inserting their own rules will only drive more acceptance of alternative payment methods.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

I mean this is a false dichotomy. You can have a payment system that isn't a shit show like crypto or a duopoly like Visa and Mastercard.

Time for Europe to get its own payment processor and stop being dependent on companies from Gilead.

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Gilead? The Pharma company??

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

what even is the point of this cyberpunk dystopia if there won't even be good porn to wank to?

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

That’s my thought exactly. Boring dystopia indeed.

[–] percent 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder how long this will last. The NSFW industry is insanely huge. If the current payment processors cut it off, that leaves a giant gap in the market just waiting to get filled (😏).

If they hold firm on this, it might just be a rare opportunity for a new (and hopefully better) payment processor to enter the market.

Or maybe just wider crypto adoption, idk.

I have no idea why all of a sudden payment processors care bout anything but money. What happened ?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Collective Shout happened, an australian organisation decided to wage global war on anything NSFW in games (so far), their key talking points are allegedly being feminist and anti-exploitation of women.

i wonder if they asked the women they're saying they're protecting if they want that "protection", or if they're imagining that women just don't make NSFW art

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Why would they ask? They know what’s best for everyone. All people. All around the world.

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Their (collective shout) open letter to these companies has a headline like "you are profiting from exploitation" basically, but worse. I guess the card networks were thinking about their stock price or something when they made the decision.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Sex art is art

[–] niva@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I don't get it. Will they also ban sex shops, adult cinemas and every other offline adult entertainment thing that exist?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, that's literally what these people want.

I'm not a cryptobro but these things make me want to hodl on some

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

cryptocurrency is absolutely not going to be a substitute. what happens when your client's money drops in value halfway through working on their commission?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Could use a stablecoin that's pegged to USD or EUR.

USDC seems relatively safe given how much traditional investment is tied up in Coinbase and Circle.

[–] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Easy. Agree on the price in a more stable currency, and pay the equivalent in crypto when the work is done.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Or what happens when governments ban crypo exchanges?

I think the real answer is for us (the electorate) to start electing officials who aren't puritanical twats. Way way harder to do tough.

[–] Tamo240@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Is this a serious question? Crypto is inherently decentralised and anonymous, from the base technology of the blockchain. The existence of crypto exchanges is directly opposed to its entire thesis as a digital currency, and only exist because people now treat it like a speculative asset and not like money.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes it's decentralized and very hard to stop to parties from making a crypto transaction. But what about cases where you need to convert your crypto to say euros because the person/business you need to pay doesn't accept crypto? Don't you need an exchange for that?

How easy/ widely accepted is it to pay for things using crypto (gas, rent, mortgage etc.)?

The point I was trying to make is that if paying for stuff in crypto isn't ubiquitous, it's far less practical as a form of currency.

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but just a note that the alternstive to exchanges is peer to peer trading of cash/crypto where two individuals agree to swap. Obviously a lot more tedious and hard to do that, but with the right tools and mass adoption it could be feesible.

If the government wants to ban crypto all together though, i doubt any solution could exist.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Would make it difficult to on/off-ramp though. Though I guess, theoretically, it wouldn't be necessary if you can use it for payment.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Imagine how many more "Thomas Matthew Crooks" are gonna come out of their basements if you ban their porn. Conservatives secretly love their porn. Might wanna rethink the ban.

Or not, I don't mind watching a IRL live movie about a rebellion instigated by...

checks notes

...banning porn 🤦‍♂️🤣

This comic goes from 2020 to 1984, was this comic originally about idiots that compared wearing a face mask to wearing a jew star?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That's how this actually became a meme.
