censorship payment processor

More and more people are waking up toward the censorship that mainstream payment processor has enacted toward their user. With the news of Steam and Itch.io getting cornered because they host adult games, more people become aware that Visa/Mastercard and Paypal is not a safe company to be trusted with their payment.

Their censorship is not stopping to big company however, small creator and freelancers who rely heavily on internet economy is being targeted too sometimes randomly sometimes without any fair consideration. Even adding note "commission" on their transaction could risk them being banned even though what they commissioning is not breaking any law and sometimes it's not even a NSFW content.

Now, why do these payment processor shooting themselves in the foot by banning their user left and right and even threaten a popular company that always guaranteed to give them annual revenue? It sounds so stupid isn't it? What if I tell you that getting customer running away from them is their plan all along.

United State of America is a big empire. It currently the current hegemonic power of the globe and USD, their currency, has become the international reserve currency that make global trade possible and why we can enjoy cheap things manufactured abroad (mainly from china). But this big empire is not without a flaw, currently it hold $35 Trillion in debt and they don't have the money to pay it back. They need a way out from their own predicament. One of the solution is to find more people to buy their US Dollar. But where do America will find people beside 350 million of American?

Introducing Stablecoin. A new invention by the government to adopt crypto into their system. Allowing the feature of Borderless and Permissionless money to enter the government reach, this stablecoin become the key for US to solve its giant debt. The US plan to devalue their debt with stablecoin and to start from zero, stated by Anton Kobyakov, Russian Presidential Adviser,

And who will hold this debt you may ask? to simply answer that, it's the whole world. United States want to spread this economic burden thin by allowing people to buy and hold their debt in the form of stablecoin.

Now we can see the behaviour of mainstream processor more clearly and precisely. If the goal is to force people to leave traditional payment and use crypto stablecoin as their alternative then what Visa/Mastercard and Paypal has done become logical. This is their ultimate agenda.

and for steam, they used to accept bitcoin back in 2017 or something like that... then removed it cause bitcoin is just not made for payments, only speculative numbers going ups or downs....

fuck steam anyways, never understood people having a steam account and their whole game collection on it instead of just downloading those for free...
like, cant be making steam account with vpn, if account banned then everything that has been bought becomes lost with the account too? shit's weird why people ok with that

Even adding note "commission" on their transaction could risk them being banned even though what they commissioning is not breaking any law

our grandparents had it better there lol, if wanna do work then can do work
nowadays is like, feels illegal just wanting to make a quick dollar mowing someone's lawn or somethin
like "do u have a license for that business?" type shit, like wtf lol

well or cbdc i guess yea
lots of things been looking like concerted efforts to ruin shits on purpose, and at the surface level it just dont make sense, how can you make sense of someone shooting themselves in the foot

from your other thread over there:
https://monero.forum/thread/not-your-custody-not-your-saving
it also made me think, it's pretty similar there too, financially it dont make sense, they shooting themselves in the foot, they ruining the whole earth and humanity as a whole type thing
so what's the endgoal then, making sense of shits that dont make sense is a real mindfuck lol

my theory: they're scammers
scamming people of real estate space for their own home
scamming people of electricity (insane price increases)
scamming people of literal drinking water (those datacenters is fucking with literal drinking water as well)
scamming people of having the possibility to have a stable job
ruining everything for everyone on purpose

megacorps creating the problems, then they'll come with their solutions
cbdc reliance for everyone, most people wont have a choice, they'll take the government check

they'll literally own the people
that's what this is about imo

and by "own the people" i literally mean "the white men owning the people"

like, the signs been pretty clear, concerted efforts worldwide and 2020 been a real eye opener regarding the scale of it

anyways, i went a bit offtopic there, so just as a reminder, mastercard also bought ciphertrace few years ago
they been moving fast and quitely but the signs have been there

this stablecoin become the key for US to solve its giant debt.

regarding that part, pretty sure the "world debt" is literally just the biggest scam ever made lol

(can go through these and scroll quick, takes few seconds, is visual, not walls of text lol)

like, they can just keep printing fake money for the bullshits, going in the red for them dont actually mean going in the red, that's literal infinite money glitch type shit

so, no "big debt to solve", that shit pretty much not even real in the first place
scammers be scamming but it all looks legit, doesnt it? x)

@sepia
disclaimer: pure speculation below.
I think you're right about the everything but I don't think that it is intended for MOST people to use stablecoins or crypto at all.
I think that these company's are censoring access to their payment infrastructure because of compliance risks imposed by tightening regulation, creating an arteficial problem which will ultimately be solved by digital ID. Most people will accept the survailance creep for the convenience of seemlessly getting through the obtuse censorship policies. Its like putting pressure on people before they are willing to accept the difficult to swallow pill. Soften them up before giving them the papers. Covid was the same shit and also a test of how people will react.
A big part of what will make digital ID gated access (to finances, transport, everything) possible is that the most staunch resistance already has a way out so even they don't have the incentive to fight it. The way out being of course the pseudonymous self custody wallet.

@SpinningCat Idk if this is popular knowledge or not, but they say most of economic crisis is artificial. They can print infinite money, how come they can go bankrupt? Doesn't make any sense. Then again, if they print without any convincing reason the people will quickly realize the money is just illusion. So they need to have a compelling narrative. That's what i thought at least.

@Nebuchadnezzar_II I agree with you. Not everyone gonna use stablecoin. But people that deal with import goods will. That's what exactly happen in Bolivia. I might create a thread about it someday.
