I keep seeing NSFW artists & consumers be like "Crypto might be the answer" and no it's not. It's really REALLY not. As great as it'd be if it was a lot of crypto is actually centralized and those exchanges are just as susceptible to the pressures of bunch of angry lobbyist as any credit card company. Especially if they want to do business in the US. (Plus the huge amount of other issues that are just inherent to Crypto... sorry is destroying the environment further really worth titty art? No, it's not.)

NSFW artists/Sex Workers can't keep running from the issue forever because the people who want NSFW gone literally WILL NOT stop until they eradicate all of it.

Like IDFK how you actually fight it but Crypto isn't some magical answer that solves all the problems of NSFW artists.

edit: changed the first sentence to add consumers because it's not just artists saying it.

I haven't even seen nsfw artists claiming this, its mainly crypto shills who see whats going on with the situation then pop in and go "wow gee you're having issue with a main payment processor??? you know what you should use???"

"Crypto isn't viable as a payment platform for anything other than extremely illicit goods" has been an obvious thing since like 2015 and I don't know why people still haven't caught on.

I'm probably naively hoping that this wero thing might soon be a viable alternative to credit card payments, at least within the EU. (Basically online payments directly from bank accounts; from* the folks that brought iDEAL to NL and BE; a payment method a surprising amount of non-EU websites support.) Apparently it's launching this year in FR DE and BE 😩

Centralized crypto exchanges are best avoided in general - these can not only change the terms, but also pull a PayPal and pocket your money without explaining themselves.

Swapping something like USDT on a P2P exchange should work, but may result in some hard-to-answer questions from your bank if you're not careful about who's you're swapping money with, so it's better not to.
