One issue I know that drives many NSFW artists to crypto payments is that things like paypal won't service them.

Yeah, that type of thing is a problem. I feel that anyone operating a legal business should be able to receive payments. I don't know what the best way to achieve that would be: make it illegal for payment processors to refuse customers registered with the chamber of commerce? Set up a community bank to handle this? Something else? Idk.

That said, one of my gripes with a lot of this cryptostuff is that people want it to both be recognized as real money, but also not be beholden to any regulation they don't like. Can't have both.

Won't really be a problem, crypto payment providers are dime a dozen, and they just need to keep records.

Or you could ID and pay directly.

Sure that’s a problem for them, but rather niche and doesn’t seem to justify this huge avenue for “crime”
The number one thing criminals are known for is following the law, so they will absolutely be certain never to accidentally do a cash payment over the limit.
