It's not porn availability that's threatened, but freedom. I don't want to use bitcoin and I still think it's a scam and a sort of gamble, but if Visa or Mastercard can deprive us of freedom, we may have to consider using bitcoin.

The don't use Bitcoin.

I like Etherium cause it doesn't waste electricity and you don't need to buy expensive proprietary hardware to mine it. All you gotta do is press the "stake" button and enjoy that 4% APR. I made $500 in two years simply by sitting on my ETH and letting it grow. Just like how banks used to work back in the day. It's nice; you're missing out.

You can't earn more than you worked.

The $500 isn't real. You earned that by gambling, by taking the unnecessary risk.
