You're definitely not alone. Despite costing me more thanks to binance's ridiculous "fees", I go out of my way to buy crypto to just to spend on services and charities that accept it - thanks mullvad, gandi*, fsf, and many more! I plan to continue doing this as long as even a single org continues to accept it.

Payments don't need to go through a centralized and unaccountable processor anymore and, given the track records of the likes of visa and paypal, I argue they shouldn't. It's one thing for them to follow the law, but to destroy livelihoods of many people or to deny transferring money when both the sender and the receiver are in agreement for arbitrary subjective reasons is simply unacceptable.

May those who accept crypto continue to prosper.

* I haven't been able to pay gandi yet because they require me to use their weird payments platform, but I'd happily start paying them in crypto once they drop this silly requirement.
