    I used to think this until i tried it. Now i just get an email from each service once per year asking for cash. Most things are either $12 or $24 per year. With bitcoin it only takes 10 seconds to transfer. And i get the satisfaction of supporting the guy who made the tool for me.

    I think the real dislike for paying for things is mostly

    • the hassle of using credit cards or PayPal
    • the resentment at paying for crap services from corrupt faceless billionaire corporations
    • the stress of getting roped into more or bigger payments.

    With ethical developers of cheap quality tools (which are very easy to find) it’s all easy and satisfying.

        Yes, try it. There are big advantages to paying for services, over what I’ve said already.

        As for payments, it’s usually: each year see email, copy the payment link into mycelium, click send, enter pin code.

        Just try it. Pick one service (email is easy) and switch to a small privacy-focused company.

          I am sorry, but no cryptocurrency I know outside Nano confirms transactions this fast.

          The only one I know has fast enough transactions apart from Nano is Monero, which takes 5 minutes at least, no matter the fee you pay, and it is a really decent tradeoff for privacy.

            That’s okay, nobody starts off knowing everything.

            Not only crypto but all payment systems take agrees to confirm - visa takes days - but as a customer you observe it happening instantly. Try it!
