I'd guess that all financial institutions are awful monsters and likely isn't even a lesser of evils option. I've been lifetime banned from PayPal, CashApp and Zelle; I was helping a sexy content seller process her funds for a few years. It was honestly a great side hustle and easily banked 10k over 4 years. Bummed when they finally banned me, stopped helping her so I could preserve the few pay portals I still had.
I think a money app that accepted nsfw sellers would do well with a niche market.
It's really a great example of the problem: Your ability to conduct commerce has been heavily limited at the whims of a few corporations. That really shouldn't be able to happen.
What about using Nostr with lightning Paiment ?
I know it's not the best, but for emergency....
