Yea crypto -> fiat is easy for businesses that declare their income. It’s still a pain to do, but they’re used to having an entire service dedicated to that already

A real dog is less expensive than a small metal one?

True, but then crypto only becomes useful for illegal transactions which isn’t what we want
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
Sure, what you said is true, but again, I’m talking about crypto -> fiat
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
If exchanges close, websites stop accepting them, and you can’t withdraw to fiat
Regulation can easily kill most of the cryptocurrency market
Trading on non CEX is a massive pain as well
Storing for long time on cold wallets makes you vulnerable to volatility, which isn’t good for high amounts. It’s essentially investing on a high risk asset.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
Who is gonna ask?
The exchange, the website… It happens frequently
there are no rules where you send your crypto and you don’t have to explain to anyone
AML and KYC procedures are a thing in crypto, just make a few searches

Doomer mentality
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
Sounds like crypto
Yea, it is a bit of a pain as well, but it has some benefits compared to traditional payment methods, unlike paying in shares
Pretty sure crypto pump and dump criminalization is still a thing. In the end, you’re asking for someone to invest in something you benefit from, which is illegal in some places

Following crypto trails is easy when there’s only one destination…
You’re putting too much trust in the system. If there’s a doubt you will be asked to clear it, they won’t do it for you
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
No one pays in shares because no one accepts this and it’s annoying to do?
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
It’s basically the same as directly sending
The exchange will know what you spend crypto on
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
They would not, but you would not be anonymous this way. You get problems when:
- The crypto you received is through a shady source (it could be any individual which pays you with dirty coins)
- You engaged in pro-privacy activity, which links you with illegal activity, like coin mixers to blur the origin and destination of crypto
- You received more crypto than you bought
Some countries straight up force you to declare every transaction you make with crypto, which isn’t doable for most people and puts them in illegality

extreme volatility
You’re free to avoid those coins then… volatility doesn’t mean bad
many coins’ value can be easily manipulated by whales
Yes, just like for stocks and pretty much every product on the market
most stablecoins are probably one step away of crashing down like Terra Luna
Stablecoins are often centralized so they’re not what the goal of crypto was, but sure. Why not hate the coins instead of the technology instead? Stablecoins are a small part of crypto.
resource intensive - you can shout about proof of stake all you want, there are still gigawatts of energy being burned to “mint” bitcoin
If you know this is incorrect, why lie and say crypto is resource intensive when it’s only a few that are like that? PoW has its flaws indeed.
no protections because “code is law”, even when the code is flawed
Every software you use is not liable for any problems that occurs with it. Incidents will always happen. All recent incidents involved someone getting hacked by other means, being menaced into sending them crypto (so it could happen to anyone with a lot of cash as well for example, or through offshore bank accounts), or a company stealing people. I’m not aware of any code fail.
Pretty much all CEX are regulated currently. And with AML and KYC coming more and more (which is bad for crypto), the “no protections” claim is really false.
forking risk nearly every year
So? In case of a fork, you keep both coins… so you should still keep the value of both?
the coins that aren’t as resource intensive, have fast transaction times and negligible fees, are unlikely to gain traction or receive widespread adoption
Isn’t that the case of Solana? But yea currently there are problems with too many coins relying on PoW, but some just can’t do without it, like Monero. It’s the cost of having this system.
you still have to go through the hoops of a heavily regulated exchange to get actual money from any crypto you have
That’s because of regulation and the banking system, not the fault of crypto? It’s because people called crypto a scam that it became like that. You can still use the crypto to purchase stuff with it instead of getting fiat. Receiving money from P2P bank transfers is also similar to this, you’ll get asked questions as soon as you go out of the normal way.

Except Monero and a few exceptions, AML and KYC checks are everywhere. Tainted coins and shit.
Crypto goes somewhere that they don’t like? Crypto is seized when it reaches an exchange and they ask for ID and source of funds

That’s a better explanation, but Steam still allows for much bigger friends list if you craft badges, so pay

Apart from Steam, which platform does that?

In some games, they’re public by default then you should make them private. I’m thinking of Dying Light for example
