More than a request, I think it's a deserving clarification. We're getting mob outrage against Valve, Itch.io etc... while it's just Visa/MasterCard/Paypal laughing on everyone back.

If only the Internet hadn't spent the last decade collectively shitting on crypto instead of maybe learning a bit about how it works and what it could be used for.

If only crypto hadn't turned out to be the 21st-century version of fine art for money laundering and/or a Ponzi scheme designed to separate fools from their money...
