Fuck payment processors use crypto
Considering every crypto exchange nowadays has KYC, it's not that much better.
Actually, there's still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.
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?
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.
Retoswap, LocalMonero, and Bisq dont
No need to use an exchange.
True but decentralized exchanges do exist.
Crypto is scam.
Fuck you too.
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.
