Oh well.

It is possible to go ~anonymously from cryptocurrency to "paid by credit card in US dollars". Basically you barter cryptocurrency for a credit card payment. You can do it with someone you trust. Or you can negotiate online. But then you may get a stolen card account, which might be embarrassing.

I wonder if they accept gift cards.

Nothing stops someone from creating a competitor to Coil that also uses the Web Monetization API emerging standard and that competitor accepting subscriptions in another currency, including crypto. That’s one reason why it’s such a compelling idea.
