Should Steam, GOG, etc. accept crypto payments for games?
Seems like it would reduce a lot of the headaches for entering smaller foreign markets.

>only monero
but why? of all legit cryptos they chose the one associated with criminals and drug trafficking
Monero is the only cryptocurrency primarily used as a currency. No one uses any of this shit.
Is this real? I'm a cryptogay and Monero is the last crypto I'd use for something like legit payments, aren't they literally evading taxes like this.
Litecoin is the only crypto used as a currency.
>copy + paste of Bitcoin
Monero is the one that's actually money, every other crypto is a glorified casino for homosexuals.
Monero is literally money, that's why. Cope.
>the one associated with criminals and drug trafficking
that means it has an actual use, unlike that other garbage.
kys glowie, you won't stop me from using monero
>Smaller foreign market
Go make an international payment card like Visa or MasterCard
oy vey!
Steam used to accept Bitcoin as payment. But the transaction fees were between $7 and $20 per sale. So they dropped it due to not being worth it at all.
Imagine trying to buy a $3 game and getting hit with a $7 fee on top of it.
That's mostly because Bitcoin has a capped blocksize which causes high fees. Most of the other "money" coins have low fees.
Bitcoin is so volatile it's not even worth using as a currency lmao
Have you looked at the M1 or M2 money supply recently?
dont you know? "INFLATION IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY, BRO"
"Everyone gets hurt when deflation happens!"
I ended the convo there, I did not wish to rot my mind with that person.
The black pill is looking at Japan's Lost Decades and realizing that hyperdeflation is also bad.
what's the frickin solution? Keep inflating more and more? Better to crash everything to 0 and restart from the ashes
The solution is not doing the hyper prefix.

There is no other way to stop this train than to hyper-derail it. Doing it slowly will take centuries, time we dont have

Crypto as an alternative currency was a good concept, until speculation took over. Now it is worthless. If a bag of potato costs 1 cryptocoin today, but will be worth 2 tomorrow and 0.5 the day after that, why the frick am I using crypto? It's just not stable.
The volatility is a problem but I think it's an acceptable tradeoff given the much worse with fiat money (endless printing, confiscation, capital controls, account freezes/closure for wrongthink, and other forms of counterparty risk). That isn't to say you need to store your lifesavings into it, but having some percent of your assets in Bitcoin, Monero, etc. makes sense so you don't end up like the people in Lebanon or Zimbabwe. Gold and silver achieve stability better but are poor as a currency outside small-scale local bartering. I hold both.
Pretty much this. It also explains why the left has such a hatred of crypto in general. They can't fully control it.
Yeah it's often bizarro-world talking to them as they consider all the problems with fiat to be a feature, not a problem. It's either that or
>those weren't real fiat currencies, real fiat currencies have never been tried
although a lot of ostensibly right wingers say the same dumb shit.
>Gold and silver achieve stability better
they lose to inflation year after year, and with the current uganda meme it's over for gold
They do fine for volatility though, which was the point. Things have tradeoffs. If you distrust fiat (which you should) then your biggest serious alternatives are PMs and crypto. PMs have shit price action and are difficult to use for anything outside local barter, but aren't volatile. Crypto swings wildly in price but can be a lot more convenient and practical to use (depending on coin).
Honestly most people just keep their cash in stablecoins then buy whatever currency a business is asking for to send, being able to pay for stuff without having to convert to my national currency is always a good thing.
Monero chads just keep winning
Why the hell you wanna buy merc with crypto
Steam had crypto payment but discontinued it because crypto is volatile garbage unfit to be called "currency" at all.
We should do barter economy, trade rocks for bread!
>Some rich moron with lots of slaves starts a rock mine
>Rock worthless
Ok we still have bread
>same guy starts a mega farm, starts making breads enmasse
>Bread is now cheap
See how volatile literally anything is?
This is literally cope. The whole idea of money is that it largely retains value. Not losing 30% value in an hour or being worth twice as much for a random arbitrary 3 hours one day.
MONERO SCHIZOS
WE WON
No, crypto is a scam and only morons fall for it. It only has value because billionaires pumped it to launder their money and make themselves richer. Lucky people got rich riding their wave. Now it's going to crash because those same billionaires read the tea leaves of regulation and attention, and are going to move on to their next scam.
I hope it dies permanently. I want my GPU market back.
Not only ancient news but misleading news
As for why noone accepts crypto these days, there was a brief period when you could buy games on Steam with crypto but the price started fluctuating so much that paying for something worth 60 bucks, let alone 6 bucks became actually impossible
Yes if only because the anger from lefties would be funny.
Who linked the NFTards here? They don't accept crypto because it's volatile clown money, you fricking marks.
Nobody here mentioned NFTs. What are you talking about?
Most of the crypto space is geeks moron, of course we browse these boards. A lot of shitcoins during the bullrun were game or anime themed and making enough money to survive for a month became like some kind of moronic game.
FAKE NEWS
its not fake news, its another pump n dump scheme
Monero went up when news broke, and immediately the fortfricks sold for a quick buck
>make a sperimental decision
>collect feedback
>the feedback is negative
>"lol guys we were just joking"
simple as
>lol it was just a prank, bro!
