@JamesBaker and the fact that sites do lick their boots instead of adoping #Monero is empowering them.

@kkarhan @JamesBaker VISA and Mastercard (as well as several banks) won't process transactions associated with Monero either

entire cryptocurrency exchanges delist it because of this, so even if they adopted monero, the payment providers would just prevent consumers from buying it (which they do in many regions already)

@froge @kkarhan The EU ban on privacy coins is coming in 2027. I’m convinced they just want total control of people’s transactions!

@[email protected] @[email protected] depends… There are some like https://nowpayments.io & https://changenow.io that do facilitate direct exchange of #Monero back and forth into fiat and fiat payouts too. - The stranglehold of the *"big 4 payment systems"* needs to be broken and the sooner and more decisevely it happens the less painful and costly it'll be!
