It amazes me that the anti-crypto crowd would rather be at the mercy of the payment processors that they hate than to accept any crypto transactions.

Crypto isn't perfect, don't get me wrong, but these "all crypto bad" types prefer you not to use it, even for donations because otherwise you are catering to those evil ancaps and contributing to climate change.

Unfortunately, there really is no other option for those who want to donate or purchase things online (semi)-anonymously and/or without a man in the middle. Maybe something like GNU Taler will fix that, but I don't know who uses that or how that works.

Another thing that amazes me about the whole crypto thing is all the governments banning and regulating it because while they claim that they don't want people to use it for illegal purposes, by banning it or regulating it to hell and back, they are ENSURING that people will ONLY use it illegally. White market businesses won't be able to accept it anymore, while the black and gray markets will continue to use it.

Granted the real reason is probably because they want people to stick to fiat and eventually use CBDCs, but the illegal business argument makes no sense.
