If bitcoin didnt get banned over drugs and murder-for-hire schemes, i cant imagine porn will be the tipping point.

My sense living in America is that sex-related issues are taken more seriously than, say, gun violence, murder, etc.

Well yeah, gun violence is our primary export.

I'm not sure if that would have any effect at all. I put money into Coinbase and pull it out of Coinbase with a bank account. Buying crypto with a credit card isn't a great idea.

They can't ban everything, since at the extremis you could buy crypto from eBay sellers.
But in the long run you are right: to avoid MasterCard and Visa we should move everything to crypto. It is the only way to control our own destiny.

This is against eBay's policies. All items sold through their site must be delivered physically. If you type "bitcoin" in today you'll only get hardware or novelties, not the coins themselves.

Okay, then sell a hardware token with the bitcoin on them, or the coins as QR codes printed on artisinal paper or whatever.
Or do the sale on some other platform that is similar to ebay.

Most exchanges do ACH, wires, or other methods. Kraken is opening its own bank eventually, and will take direct deposits.
