Yeah i suppose any form of payment that you have to keep secret for some reason is a reason to use crypto, though I struggle to imagine needing that if you're not doing something dodgy

imagine you’re a YouTuber and want to accept donations: that will force you to give out your name to them, which they could use to get your address and phone number. There’s always someone that hates you, and I rather not have them knowing my personal info

Wat. Crypto is not good at solving that, it's in fact much much worse than traditional payment methods. There's a reason scammers always want to be paid in crypto

if you’re the seller then it’s a lot better. With the traditional banking system, with enough knowledge you can cheat both sides: stolen cards, abusive chargebacks, bank accounts in other countries under fake name/fake ID…

Crypto simplifies scamming when the seller, and pretty much makes it impossible for buyers

What specifically are you boycotting?

Card payments, international tranfers, national transfers taking days to complete, money being seizable at all times

many banks lose money on them

Their plans are basically all focused on the card you get. Pretty sure they make money with it, else many wouldn’t offer cash back (selling infos and getting a fee from card payments?)

if you think the people that benefit from you using crypto (crypto exchange owners and billionaires that own crypto etc.) are less evil than goverment regulated banks, you're deluded.

Banks are evil anyways, does it really change anything? The difference is that it technically helps everyone using crypto, not only the rich.

Plus P2P exchanges are a thing

You'll spend more money using crypto for that, not less

That’s just factually false. Do you know the price of a swift transfer? Now compare it to crypto tx fees, with many being under $0.01

What about donating money to people online without giving away your name and privacy? What about avoiding scams for P2P transactions? What about boycotting the banking system? What about avoiding international payment fees?

These all seem valid use cases to me

I didn’t really get what the gameplay would be

Videos with only cinematic and shit is annoying. Give us some gameplay!

First time I did it I thought I seriously fucked up

What are you on? Because I want some

You’re the one defending the mass deletion of past Reddit content…

The original post was about that at least. It pretty logical to assume you’re talking about the same thing

They do if you use the client and we have testimonials of people claiming this. Playing online multiplayer also requires using the client.

Your comment was about using Heroic launcher. I don't know why you want to misinform.

People will associate what you're saying with pretty much everything even if it doesn't make sense

Like how can one say that's mansplaining and not just a baseless thought? What guarantees that they only do this with women?

since they can't exactly track how many hours you've played

They can and do if you use the client

Yup

if you sell something for $1 at 10am your $1 still buys $1 at 10pm.

This is untrue for pretty much everything, even fiat. Everything is a market. A good example of this: stocks.

in crypto, it's easily manipulated, and that's by design.

Now this is just false. You’re just inventing fake facts here. You clearly know nothing of the history of crypto.

If I sell 1BT worth of something at 10am, it could be worth 2BT at 10pm, but it could also be worth .1BT equally.

Uhh no? 1 BTC will always be 1 BTC. Its value compared to other assets will change though. And in that case it would have less value indeed. You’re just allergic to high variations and high risks assets. Stocks is exactly the same. Some assets vary more than others. Let me assure you the value of BTC will never do a +/-10x in a day

tell me, what governing body or economy is crypto backed by?

Emission (POW, POS…) (or total stock), demand and offer and perceived value, just like everything on earth?

My decision to use Lemmy instead?

No. Your decision to remove the content. It mainly harms those who will check the post later

Wow massive bigotry right there. I should be banned for this, really.

You didn’t find anything better, really? Laughable

Lemmy in a nutshell haha

Spicy point of view that I don’t agree with, but you’re straw manning here.

I'm concerned about it but not for bad reasons. What stats do we have on the different reasons?

Sorting people with "I’m sure they’re all bigots" is a great way to avoid any debate, but very manipulative

Breaking news! Criminals (but not only) use crypto, and people get scammed. This happens as well with fiat, so that must surely mean fiat is a scam!

Flawless logic, really. You people impress me with your thinking.

I believe that useful knowledge should be open and accessible to everyone for any reason (within reason of course, you might want to keep some things private), so I’m against your decision, but in the end you’re the owner of what you create so it’s your decision

You might answer "who asked?" and you would be right haha

If you mean through regulation, yes, partly

If you mean they hold most of it and thus have a total decision power, then I must disagree

It seems it is CLI only
