That wouldn’t fix the Visa/Mastercard chokepoint, as you need fiat money to buy cryptocurrencies.

The idea is that with widespread adoption of crypto, there is less need of a fiat onramp since people can get paid + buy things in crypto and not need to swap to fiat.

Maybe it could move the center of gravity from Visa/Mc. But it is only an hypothesis.

But cutting off Bitcoin or other major coin purchasing would have a big impact beyond OnlyFans. Not that you’re wrong, it’s just that the credit card processors would sort of be declaring war on crypto.
