        But what about all my patreon subscriptions? There is people relying on me!

          Not much could be done if we did pressure them like that. Sacrifices sometimes need to be made to keep the elite in line.

        Individual purchases, sure, but I’ll just be delaying them for a months so that’s not really hurting them. The bigger issue is canceling dozens of subscriptions for a month (and then having to re-subscribe to everything). That sounds like a hassle.

        And even switching to cash in stores sounds very annoying. I’d have to use a cashier checkout, which means standing in line and then you have to fumble around with cash and wait for change …

        … nope. I can’t do it.

          And that is why credit card companies get to rip off stores on every transaction; which makes them pools of money.

      I’m not a tech bro saying this, never used it before myself, but crypto seems like a sensible solution to that. Which is good cuz that means they can actually operate as currencies instead of investments

        Crypto is a non viable alterative to standard currency

        Your also beholden to traditional payment processors to actually get real actual useable money in and out of the system

        Crypto is a stock. Not a currency.

        It would be like trying to buy a game with shares in apple. No company that isn’t trying to scam people is stupid enough to touch crypto. It’s a unstable asset with no backing.

        That makes it ENTIRELY unusable as a form of debt for the purpose of exchange.
