when a person who draws scandalous pictures of furries or whatever loses their payment processing, there isn't a natural/easy way to switch to bitcoin payments?
All the rails for "fiat maxis" require KYC. You want Strike? KYC. You want CashApp? KYC. You want Fold? KYC. You want something that doesn't have KYC? You have a good chance to get rugged. The exception is the Block terminals - fits within the regional scope of the article. That's a 2026 thing.
There are enough ways now to do graduated wallets too. I think that if anything, this can use increased effort. Describe the process from a risk/reward perspective. Not "use/not-use cashu/fedi/spark/custodial wallet" and then leave no options, but explain the options, how to minimize risk, how to go through the graduation process.

My question is what part of a bitcoin payments flow is broken such that when a person who draws scandalous pictures of furries or whatever loses their payment processing, there isn't a natural/easy way to switch to bitcoin payments?
If a person is making money via selling some kind of digital art and then they lose the ability to accept payments because payment processors fear reputational risk, something is wrong if instead of finding bitcoin as a solution, they end up writing comments on the fed's rule-making website.
So I'm saying that "Bitcoin" missed -- either because we still haven't built the last mile of the payment flow or because such people aren't aware there's a solution.
