  You kinda need a payment processor unless you want people to start mailing cash in the post.

      I hate so much everytime I remember what cryptocurrency was supposed to be and what has become.

        For a little while I bought coffee and strawberries with Bitcoin back more than 9ish years ago. It was pretty cool easy with the first apps.

        Worked well.

      If nothing else it’s a bit of a faff. But again you’d need someone to convert it to fiat for it to be useful in every day life, which isn’t super removed from a payment processor. It’s pretty much difficult to get away from a middleman somewhere.

        The idea is it becomes the fiat

    Direct bank transfers. Those are a thing.

      That’s still a payment processor; just now you’ve completely deanonimized both parties.

        What is this? Mafia? If you have my account number that is it. You can send me money but you can’t get anything out of it.

      Widely sharing your bank details isn’t usually considered a great idea.

        My bank number account is a string of numbers. Besides the country and bank entity code, no other information can be obtained and no movements can be ordered on it by a non titular.

        Money can be transfered in but the account can’t be moved by anyone but the titular.
