Wait until you’ve experienced the bliss of UK FPS. It’s completely free for consumers, and so fast that if I transfer money between two banks with push notifications for tx, I often get the receive notification before the sent one.


Ofc its more efficient, but its not censorship resistant..


Which you don't really need unless you are operating something like ransomware.


Your argument reduces to the well-debunked "if you've got nothing to hide" argument.

Actually, I very much might have something to hide. As do you.


You're conflating censorship and privacy here, in a somewhat hilarious way, because you get less privacy with cryptocurrency than you do with traditional banking.

You're also ignoring the censorship that happens through the exchanges when they blacklist wallets. Sure, you can send cryptocurrency from wallet to wallet, but if the exchanges blacklist the wallets, you can never get the money out to fiat currency.

I'm positive you're going to next say use monero or zcash, but then you're limited to using shady exchanges, and if you want to have your fiat bank accounts flagged, there's a great way to do it.


I am just saying that the market for censorship resistant currency is small. No one wants to pay a premium for something he doesn't use.


is censorship applied justly at all times?


censorship is applied rarely in cases of porn and geopolitics. The majority are happy to stay in their lane; circumventing sanctions is a niche market.
