Sigh, still on the Julian Assange-level shit. Someone tell them about the Silk Road? Whatever, if payment somehow doesn’t go through, they have the guns.

Should have gone with XMR imo. Bitcoin is not sustainable.

Then they are IDIOTS at understanding crypto.

Bitcoin is the ecologically-costliest/electricity-costliest/machine-costliest cryptocoin to standardize on: it’s nearly used-up.

They’d have been much saner to have standardized on some other crypto.

I’d prefer that Algorand-type ones were standard, but they can be attacked by country-level attackers.

For anybody who wants outside-the-hype-bubble view of what crypto is, & how its ecology works, PLEASE read https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/attack-of-the-50-foot-blockchain-bitcoin-blockchain-ethereum-smart-contracts

The reason that Steampowered stopped taking crypto, is plain, in that book.

( PS: I’d enforce that there be an Algorand-type crypto for recording accounting-records with, country-wide, so that books couldn’t be “cooked” between closout-of-the-books & reporting. & I’d want to make daily closeout normal, if possible. Cisco did that, years ago, so it is possible, but some will scream against such economic-integrity measures, of course… )
