It’s things like this that make me disappointed crypto didn’t find favour as a payment option. I can transfer a million dollars instantly for ~free on (good) blockchains. Vendors aren’t at the mercy of Stripe closing their account. They’re not at the mercy of payment processors deciding they’re not allowed to sell porn. The UX has improved considerably. It’s not quite ‘there’, but much better than before.

Yes as a user I don’t get chargeback disputes. That’s why I pay with crypto if I trust the vendor or if it’s for a small amount. Sometimes the savings even get passed to me. If I want protection, I use my credit card.

Stripe seem interested in this too given their push for crypto payments that’s supposed to arrive soonish. I’m curious how much of the savings will get passed on to users. But maybe it’ll just fizzle out again.
