Earlier quoted context omitted.

What about banning Proud Boy accounts or Gab/Andrew Torba?

That's an absurd false dichotomy. We don't need to choose between being okay with banks discriminating in all circumstances and discriminating in no circumstances. If you support banks serving the Proud Biys are you okay with them serving Jihadi terrorist groups and autocratic dictators? Porn isn't trying to establish a white ethnostate.

I think you are drawing a false equivalence between the Proud Boys and jihadi terrorist groups. A better comparison would be between Proud Boys and members of Antifa.

As far as I was aware, the main reason banks don't want to deal with porn is the huge rate of chargebacks that occur. Post nut clarity is apparently a financial problem.

What about sex toy shops? As small provider selling selected sex toys you constantly face a PayPal and stripe (or whatever) ban. IMO it makes no sense. Or a portal for prostitutes to advertise their services. I tried forever to find a way to charge CC or PayPal but it's impossible without a huge existing volume. These providers basically enforce a monopoly on this market. Even thought it is completely legal here. For…

Given how cryptocurrencies are rapidly growing (again), we should expect their deeper integration into payment systems. Eventually, all sites related to sex toys, sex services, or any kind of sex pleasures will shift to independent payment systems based on cryptocurrency. As for me, I'm not pleased too with this monopoly while hiring babes on https://aurumgirls.co.uk. You said that "the US is enforcing their moral believes on us". I think it's their state policy. You need to follow their rules and believes, otherwise you are "wrong".
