Visa and Mastercard are responsible for 63% of GLOBAL EXCHANGE
The other 34% is literally only China
97% of GLOBAL COMMERCE is done through two international companies and China alone
And both those companies are dictating what YOU can spend YOUR MONEY on

crypto is the future

>>715694458 (OP)
It's okay to starve for your cardmasters as long you can pretend this will only hit porn.

>>715694458 (OP)
unfortunate, but what can you do

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987
These two things are like your only hope so you better get to emailing your senators and congressman

>>715694458 (OP)
thats what you get
10 years ago you and everyone else laughed at crypto
you made your bed, now lie in it

>>715694515
>Using crypto to buy things
>Using crypto for anything but hodl and wait
Lol

>>715694605
crypto is a pain in the ass to deal with banks and taxes, so yes that's definitely what i get

>>715694605
How many games did you buy with crypto? Not just porn games, any video game.

>>715694458 (OP)
China is also censoring shit it doesn't want and that's the problem.

>>715694458 (OP)
Me, I'm glad we can trust credit card companies to be our shining moral beacons in these dark times.

>>715694515
crypto is too unstable, as in, it fluctuates like crazy, great for speculating but horrible for steady stable payments

>>715694605
crypto takes too fucking long for transactions and is too fucking complicated for normal ass people who just want to give money in exchange for goods or services
the masses follow convenience, there's a monopoly because it's simply the most convenient just like how steam is so massive, even beating piracy because it's simply being convient and usually not sucking
Valve is a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR corporation and even they have to bend the knee to these two fucking giga corporations because otherwise they would lose nearly all non Chinese revenue, TWO THIRDS OF THEIR EARNINGS gone
That is the fucking world we live in
>>715694561
read this and do this

>>715694605
yeah and its still useless

>>715694605
Crypto was supposed to be money, but it's just fucking stocks

Feels strange when the entire world is becoming increasingly dystopian and authoritarian and half of the retards here cheer for it

So is anyone starting a fight club or what?

>>715694859
>>715694895
this thread is the fight club
you best start believin

>>715694458 (OP)
This is why I 100%, no 200% support the coming digital euro. Schizo conspiracytards will of course once again oppose it because it's le gubermint.

>>715694458 (OP)

>>715694859
Totalitarianism is based when it opresses people I don't like

>>715694859
yeah i hate how the world is becoming more and more communist

>>715694859
people are just tired and the faggots online on 4chan in the middle of the night are already too far gone. Aliens could come and start vaporizing people and everyone online would be laughing about it. Nobody cares anymore, we're in the endgame of humanity.

Don't believe in china too much. They are pretty heavy handed on censorship too, even if it doesn't get talked about much here.

>>715694859
It's called Accelerationism

>>715694965
your digital euro will have expiry date and will get shut down once you don't worship moloch shrine 5 times a week

>>715694515
Crypto is literally the worst possible future you could ask for in terms of privacy. Its fucking defining feature is recording every single transaction permanently and publicly.
>any 1 single merchant cooperates with a subpoena and reveals your wallet address
>feds will instantly know every single transaction you ever made, every address you ever sent or received money to/from
The future is returning to cash. Real cash backed by gold or silver, not worthless fiat shit.

Visa and Mastecard are to big. They should be forced to get broken up into smaller companies.

>>715694971
>>715695107
the freedom to do whatever they want, which also means things like cheaping out on manufacturing and making the most hellish corporate infrastructure and planning possible in the modem world
everywhere sucks in it's own way

>>715695105
Please tell me how you buy games on steam

>>715695347
Cash backed by rare metals will always fail, since whoever is in charge of printing said cash can not be trusted to over print said, cash leading to an inevitable bank run.

It's not like i can even boycott them since you need your card to withdraw cash.

>>715695092
>Russia

>>715695347
not a problem with monero

>>715695404
>Every exchange is through steam.

>>715695539
>missing the point this hard

I've been saying that introducing UnionPay everywhere would straighten them up quick
they allow adult transactions and ironically would more likely be dobbed on by VISA/MC agents

>>715695404
You can buy them with cash using cards from a supermarket

>>715695557
The point is that OP is misrepresenting what his image shows in an incredibly blatant manner.

>>715695587
Do you think people who buy games on steam go outside and pay with things in cash
Do you think the modern person pays for things with cash

>>715695637
Yes I doh

>>715695371
>his still falling for mutt propaganda in 2025

no this is the correct solution

>>715694458 (OP)
they keep poking the bear

>>715694515
If Crypto ever even slightly threatens the currency or trade of any sizable government, then it's dead. If people start using BtC or ETH as an actual currency with a frequency that bothers the US or EU, then they'll just ban it.
>Why should I care if they ban it
What use is a currency that's not accepted by any legitimate businesses numbnuts? It'll be dead as a fucking doorknob in that region and completely unable to fix any problems you think it fixes.

>>715694971

China just started a campaign against BL creators, so much for creative freedom

>>715694994
because unchecked capitalism sucks shit

>>715695949
yes too much capitalism is as bad as communism i agree

>>715695949
>communist ideology subverts society
>this is capitalism's fault.

>>715694859
Where's all the cool shit? I can't even legally saw off my arm to get a prosthetic, and all electronics have turned to shit in the last 30 years. LAMEST DYSTOPIA is real and I fucking hate it

You will own nothing, and you will be happy. Not even money belongs to you anymore.

I'll trade gold or weed with my neighbor fringe style

accelerationism is the most retarded thing ever invented
>yeah lets just give what they want even faster
>yeah that will like benefit us somehow
>it's not like they're trying to reach impossible deadlines like eating bugs by 2030, yeah getting us there faster will really make them mad lol

WOWWW So you're telling me the good guys won every single time? That's crazy

>>715696479
not our problem and clean it up, status quo janny cuck
Yeah, I'm thinking people will just boost china to destroy this demonic and far gone society, antithetical to the freedom-yearning western man.

>>715697612
you're helping the status quo you idiot
You don't think they want to do it as fast as possible?

Is it possible to buy porn games using chinese payment?

>>715697612
You have the same retarded though process as Trotskites. After the "collapse" nothing good will come, it'll be even shittier.

>>715697856
unfortunately only on Chinese and Taiwanese sites
dunno if storefronts simply don't know it's an international option (even though it's partnered with other sovereign companies), or if they've fallen for some kinda western VISA/MC propaganda

I'd apply for a UnionPay card right now if they did

>>715697712
>if you destroy the backstabbing institutions weaponized against you, you lose!
How 'bout we just empower our oppressors geopolitical rivals to squeeze them, from within and without, into a metaphorically excruciating death, instead? Accelerationism is how we have won so far. East Asia is churning out a bunch of good shit anyway. May as well give them the industry at this point. Who cares if we can't say chinaman square masscure or xi jing poo speech concepts that doesn't even apply to the Western space? Especially if it means seeing all those who raped the western vidya industry into a slow burning humiliation ritual, especially with historic icons like halo. No, it will all burn, and all we need to do is nothing at the BARE mininmum hahaha!

>>715698137
Seeing how the commie collapses ended up insulating their societies from the western poison of ritual cultural humiliation and a more homogenous demographic. A collapse or burning decline will be completely worth it, if not only for the prospect of brutal revenge through the only means these subversives allowed after taking institutional power: destruction.

>>715696479
It's actually great, but as a doomsday cult in disguise, we should make things even worse so we can all die already

>>715698341
Haha, what a cute and funnily looking icon.

China will step in to save us from kike tyranny as usual

>>715699637
I think they're quite close with VISA/MC, so maybe some storefronts won't even bother expecting to be rejected
but they were recently acquired by Capital One last year, so dunno what their stance is
