Simple solution. Itch.io takes payment in cryptocurrencies. Vote with your (crypto-)wallet.
... Which will result in prices for games fluctuating wildly, and their entire storefront having to tell people how to by crypto from shady places.
Stuff like FedNOW and Wero are a better solution which bypass payment processors entirely.
That really depends on the crypto being used and you can buy crypto from non-shady places lol
If adult content moves to crypto, won't that result in Collective Shout and friends targeting the big crypto marketplaces?
At least in the us, crypto bros have a stranglehold on a number of politicians on right and left. Its unlikely to be banned or hindered unilaterally.
... I don't have any trust that the US government will do anything pro-lgbt, pro-freedom-of-expression or pro-women.
Oh I don't either, I just don't think they will touch crypto. I don't think it's a good thing that they won't touch crypto though.
They could target payment processors that handles crypto, but they can't prevent anyone from receiving payments in crypto. You don't actually need a payment processor to receive crypto. All you need is a wallet to send or receive.
