Fuck payment processors use crypto

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Considering every crypto exchange nowadays has KYC, it's not that much better.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

Actually, there's still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you can just not use them, there's still plenty of individuals willing to trade crypto for cash on decentralized marketplaces. You don't have to use the big exchanges just because they are big you know?

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 months ago

They could choose to just not use crypto and shut the fuck up…

Or..

They could lose their entire goddamn minds over nothing because they haven’t touched grass or a vagina in 45 years.

No need to use an exchange.

[–] x3lz@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

True but decentralized exchanges do exist.

Lmao crypto failed at it's purpose before you even knew about it. Shit is centralized and monitored, it's the exact same as any other currency.

You can send and receive payments without any third party involvement or permission.

[–] x3lz@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Depends on the coin, although all are decentralized to some extent. Some are less private than others.
