Porn has always been on the forefront of new technology. Porn may be the only way to move Bitcoin beyond its current status.

I think Litecoin has pretty low fees compared to most cryptos, so in terms of usability it's probably one of the better choices. Monero if you want to be anonymous. The big obstacle is that converting irl money into internet monopoly money is an inconvenient process with several annoying steps. It really is just easier to use the foolproof of method of sending paypal invoices, since everyone already uses it.

People don't hodl the US dollar expecting it to moon rocket lambo. Quite the opposite really.

And how about when PayPal start cracking down on coomers too? There must be a straightforward way to pay and be paid in crypto. After all these years feels like this technology is still in 2004

This is probably one of three viable niche use cases for crypto, but it’s still horrible and asking your clients to set up a crypto wallet and pay gas fees just for booba drawings probably won’t net you any business.

>>7101107
Coinbase is the easiest. You can send crypto using an email. For currency stability you should use USDC, which tracks the US dollar within a few cents at any given time and is backed directly by coinbase's cash supply, that way you don't have to worry about bitcoin's value or anything

>>7101291
Why not both? Have another payment method, tell people it is ultimately preferred due to nonsense, and try to educate people on how to use it. Gas fees are extremely minimal on Litecoin and Monero at least. That initial hurdle is bad, but the experience is smooth if they can continue to use it for business with artists.
Call me a shill, but as someone who both is a programmer and draws, I'm optimistic about this really being the best way to adapt to this whole ordeal where Visa/Mastercard/PayPal forces the hands of services to kick (You) out, over and over again.
There's also gift cards, but that's just as bad for clients and worse for you. Mailing cash around is presumably acceptable to literally no one.

Take into consideration the general public perception of crypto. Unless your target clientele are also crypto geeks, recent events over the past six years have left a largely negative impression on people when it comes to the adoption of crypto. NFTs, Metaverse, the FTX collapse, and countless other scams/grifts have tainted public perception. Also considering how many different coins are in circulation at the moment, it’d likely be too confusing for anyone new to crypto to figure out how to actually buy and trade with it. There’s still other means of getting paid for your art, and paypal doesn’t actually care if you’re just taking direct commissions. The hazard is in using monetization platforms with public facing content, not just money transfer services.

Okay, but, none of that actually changes the core usecase of the tech (getting value from one place to another without middlemen/gatekeepers)
At the risk of revealing myself to not be “with it” when it comes to social media and artist PR/e-celebery, shouldn’t perception be almost completely irrelevant? Again, it’s just an option.
>paypal doesn’t actually care if you’re just taking direct commissions. The hazard is in using monetization platforms with public facing content, not just money transfer services.
This is exactly the type of thing that could change on a whim one day, and everyone involved would be powerless to do anything against an enforcement action. PayPal is also just shit and I recall artists having their accounts locked up at random for reasons that have nothing to do NSFW. That’s my whole deal here; innovation, freedom, resilience.
But yes, it should be the future iterations of the biggest target, commerce platforms, making a lot of these moves first. Skeb made their own shitcoin a while back, no clue how it panned out.

>>7100612
Crypto has been fully coopted by scammers, jews and wallstreet.
What we need is a crypto CURRENCY. But the ones we have are all too volatile now due to speculation and because nobody uses it for anything else.
The dream is dead ever since your cousins father started talking about crypto.

Something like digital money with fully anonymous payment processing is what we really need. Something that gives us the freedom of hard cash but digitally.

>>7102438
non-speculative stable coins like usdc and tether have always been a thing

>>7102447
Stablecoins are a meme

>>7102452
how are they?

>>7102458
Look up Terra Luna crash. Another "stablecoin" that completely crashed. Though something like tether is a little more trustworthy, it was already affected by the crash of shitcoins like terra.

In other words, the whole "stablecoin" topic is mostly just a buzzword.

money is backed by faith alone, as long as crypto has believers it has value so it won't go any where any time soon no matter how many rug pulls and pump and dumps happen. if you want to kill crypto, make trading normal money online easier.

You niggers don't deserve any freedom
That's the greatest thing about this era, it will be finally stripped away from you.

So, Monero.
>non-volatility
So, USDC or PayPal USD.
>crypto CURRENCY
I know your image of what cryptocurrency means is some CNBC Jewish American in a dark alley trying to sell you monkey pictures, but if you can manage to divorce yourself from these connotations and assume that no system in general will be completely free of tradeoffs, 99% of everything you want has existed for years. But I presume you just... don't want to use them?
It's kind of unreal how often I heard people on Xitter ask for a simple payment system with no rules or central authority that'd free artists from the clutches of mainstream payment processing and their risk management, but exclude "crypto" from the discussion because of... I dunno, cooties?

>>7102476
My faith in the government is higher than my faith in a couple billionaires that do whatever they want with no regulation. At least the billionaires that control the government have to jump through hoops to pretend they act in your best interest
>make trading normal money online easier.
implying crypto is easy

>>7102476
Correct. And Crypto is now almost exclusively used to speculate.
Meanwhile money is used for...everything, from grandma buying her oatmeal to Bezos paying crack hookers to stocks and speculation.

In short for crypto I have to put my trust in techbros (that don't really know anything about the tech either) and minimally regulated exchanges that have proven again and again to not be trustworthy because they WILL shit away all your money.

For money I have to put my trust into society, the government, banks the whole market of goods and services. A lot wrong here too, but still leagues ahead.

>>7102606
You cryptoshitters have essentially made exchanges your central authority and regulation. In the past 10 years it has speedrun every reason why we have all those regulations in regular finance.
Let's be honest, you probably don't even keep your coins in your own wallet but have them lying around on some exchange too, like every other idiot in your bubble.

>>7102739
No point in arguing about crypto with someone who has holdings. Anyone in the sphere with two brain cells to rub together knows the only way to make their money back is to hype and sell their shitcoin to someone dumber than they are. It is structurally no better than a pyramid scheme, but like pyramid schemes anyone with a vested interest(or sunk cost) in it will try every trick in the book to sell someone on it while completely ignoring the huge glaring issues. Crypto shills are to be ignored or bullied.

>>7102739
> Let's be honest, you probably don't even keep your coins in your own wallet but have them lying around on some exchange too
False? I use the Monero wallet, and Exodus for anything else.
You use centralized exchanges to sell/buy with fiat, immediately putting the dollars/coin in a self-held wallet on a secure machine, or an insured bank account respectively. This was true before the FTX jew, and it’s more true now.
(Hell, I’m kinda just saying all this, because I actually use LocalMonero which is purely person-to-person. Realistically, clients and art enthusiasts would be using centralized though)
