I will never understand how any and all online payment systems are still shit. It's 2025 bruh.

I've entered all the information correctly. Failed. Ok, let me enter the wrong information then. Still failed. What does it want for it to work? It can't even admit that it's broken.

I just want a payment system so good and reliable that it actually wants to take my money.

I’ve got some good news.

Shoot

It starts with B and rhymes with titcoin

It's lagging behind my current needs.

It is we who lag, bitcoin is available for anyone. Just not everyone.

I never pegged you for one who thinks Bitcoin will solve all the world's problems, john.

Using my name at the end like that…man… this got serious!! I actually think hard money fixes a lot of our problems but really I still love paying cash cuckbucks when and where I can.

Hahaha. Get used to it. I do that to everyone.

I find it cringe when I hear it fixes this it fixes that. The cult is strong in this space.

Telltale sign of not enough interaction with the real world and all its warts

Haha nothing personal sir!

lol of course but I had an obligation to meme.

This is the most sacred obligation

I'm admittedly a fix the money fix the world problem. I don't think its a panacea, but when you can print money, which underlies a significant portion of human interactions, it deranges incentives and incentives are at the heart of just about everything. The downstream consequences of deranged incentives bleed into most everything.

I’m finding that man tends to replace one thing for another and yet they remain the same. Why not have both or have many systems exist and people get to choose which works for them.

I’m fine with that too. I just don’t want tyrants that can make my money cheaper sycophanticly absorbing my purchasing power and buying something that is offensive to me or abjectly detrimental to my interests

Britcoin?

That's totally messed up 😦

No incentive for anything to improve when the money is printed.

It's worse than printed money. It's credit.

Because it still runs in IBM mainframe 😂

That’s great and all but doesn’t help when not everyone uses it.

There are some online shops that just take you Bitcoin no questions asked, alza for example or shopinbit which even has concierge service

That doesn’t solve the immediate problem.

We have tools, we know how. But the legacy system gating is still in our way.

We need FOSS for everything. From metalurgy to car engines and more.

Supply is fiat bound. And that's the problem.

Theres always hawala

Once you do your first bitcoin payment, anything else seems prehistoric and annoingly too demanding in terms of data needed for the transaction to happen
