The only reason I have some crypto is for paying for things.

The only way to do MMS over the internet that isn't completely crazy* or requires a google account is jmp.chat as far as I can tell. It looks like they originally accepted paypal and paypal did it's thing so now the default is bitcoin. For small projects like this bitcoin is one of the easier ways to set up payments.

My DNS provider also had a bug in their payment form when I went to renew the domain name (or maybe it was really my bank despite them telling me it was on their end, who knows.) I was able to just pay them with bitcoin and that solved the problem.

Whether you like it or not, crypto is here to stay and it's way easier for both users and developers.

*One of the providers I was looking at even tried activating my camera on the log in page (the browser didn't say anything but the camera on that machine is weird and if you don't use a special API it just spams the kernel log with errors, idk how they did it.)
