Absolute nightmare fuel.

A lot of you here might not like the reality of this fact, but cryptographic currency was designed precisely to guard against abuse like this. It can't protect you if you give your traditional payment processor direct access to your traditional bank account, but it can absolutely allow customers to continue doing business with you in events like these.

If your customers genuinely want to continue using your online services and if your service is legal, then people will jump through the hopes to pay you in cryptographic currency if they have to. I certainly have.

I mean, 99% of crypto transactions are either speculation or crime, but occasionally it can be used to pay for AI porn.
That's a blatant lie.

Regardless of what irrational hate you have towards cryptographic currency, it doesn't change the cold hard fact that it is the best countermeasure legal businesses have today. It exists. It's proven. It works.
