Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.

But I still want the stuff they've made, their back catalogues, etc.

Monero is specifically designed to be resistant to GPU mining, and has a set inflation rate of ~2% with no cap. In other words it effectively is governed nearly identically to normal currency and anyone can participate reasonably.

Additionally, while the value has gone up, that's primarily thanks to it being used as a currency. It's the preferred crypto for black markets.

Unlike Bitcoin it processes transactions quickly and with low fees. There is no way to know who sent what amount to whom or how much anyone has of it. It is the closest thing there is to digital cash.
