Do not use:
This is a real problem, and you should start solving it now rather than waiting to see if you're next on the chopping block.
While I appreciate posts like these, it would be wonderful if people would actually post alternatives.
The problem is that there realistically aren't any alternatives.
That's the drum Josh Moon of Kiwifarms (completely debanked just like Fuentes) has been banging of late and for some time.
Every non-cash transaction goes through about six layers with multiple payment processors & gateways between you & your bank.
Each has their own ToS & each can capriciously deny service for any reason.
Josh's proposal is to lobby Congress to intervene, which is wishful thinking. But seems like some of the only people with the power to do anything.
Which is why people advocating to abandon everything and somehow survive on a barter system in the modern economy should be openly mocked. Solutions or GTFO at this point honestly.
There's cryptocurrencies, but hardly anyone uses them for trade.
