Yeah, I know leftists hate crypto but this shit legit is making me want some.

I know crypto sucks in a lot of functional ways but those issues can probably be sorted out eventually. I don't want to let puritanical authoritarian dipshits dictate what I can buy with my fucking money, or even see if they start also fuck with hosting of free content as well.

I don't even buy porn games, doesn't matter. Its the principle of the thing. And this shit can easily get worse if we let them.

The problem has been solved to some extent, at least. Unregulated casinos and Polymarket are entirely banned in the US, but citizens here regularly bypass it with VPNs and transferring stablecoin. In the case of obscene games, it's not illegal (yet at least) so the only thing needed would be the infrastructure for accepting and distributing crypto payments.

None of it is without flaws, but many small websites managed to make it work without issues. The main issue would probably be convincing enough people to move to crypto to create a stable user base. I'd imagine some would be "driven" enough to jump through all these hoops though. Personally I'd like to see a platform that is free of this anti-democratic fuckery going on.
