Why haven't publication embraced crypto donations like BAT?
I feel much better about sending tokens ive earned by selling my attention, and then sending those earnings to publications which garner my attention.
Is media just too old to adapt?
BAT is trash but I'd love to see more quick crypto donation options.
I'm not trying to to die on the sword of bat, but for end users being able to just easily transfer or donate without having to know crypto...
Convenience and security is a balance.
Everything that is convenient is not secure.
Everything that is secure is not convenient.
Crypto that is "easy" screams "these people will lose all their money because it isn't secure."
But my credit union is both more convenient and more secure than crypto.
Oh agreed, wholeheartedly. I really just meant that if you're going to push crypto to consumers, giving them nonsecure options is pretty bad.
