There are only two good use cases for crypto:
- Financial speculation
- Criminal activity and fraud
What about paying for censored games?

sad thing is that it could be great as an alternative to mastercard/visa but crypto fash have just ruined any attempt to make it appealing to anyone other than crypto fascists.
Crypto is not a monopoly, whatever the Maxis say.
-
As I understand it, cryptocurrency funnily enough works awfully as a means of transaction, because the amount of processing power required to make transactions is ridiculously high.
Only for PoW crypto.

It's a 3rd use case.

No, it's not a viable use case.
Developers of such games what the broadest market possible and consumers want easy accessibility and stable updates/support.
The groups outlined above are interested in the product and not promotion of some cryptocurrency.
Both these goals are best served using real currencies, not monero. Such payment systems (using real currency, aimed at content with erotica/porn) are widely available and haven in use for 30+ years.
If you don't want to deal with such payment systems directly (e.g. setup an LLC and other such matters), there are multiple easy to implement distribution approaches that one can launch in ~15 minutes.
This is why I don't trust crypto promoters.

You would use real currencies for everything except the transfer. The consumer only sees USD. The provider swaps back to Fiat as soon as necessary.
The use case is enabling payment over the Internet while avoiding traditional, censoring providers.

This does not make sense.
What you're saying is that it's impossible to buy porn/erotica online without monero. This is clearly wrong.
You most definitely could do that before blockchains were a thing.

I haven't said anything like that.
I'm saying crypto is an additional, uncensored payment channel.

Couldn't those transactions be cut off at those swapping points to fiat? I assume if a bank doesn't support a business directly transferring funds for a particular purpose then they'd take issue with indirectly transferring funds for the same purpose and would work to close those accounts.

And why exactly is it a use case if you can already buy erotica/porn via specialized payment services without monero?
What's the benefit here? Be clear and specific. Don't randomly bring terms like "privacy", "uncensored" and "freedums".

Only for PoW crypto.
If a cryptocurrency concentrates into the hands of a few, as assets tend to do in capitalism, then wouldn't proof of stake mean those few control the cryptocurrency anyway?
-
the venn diagram of crypto nerd assholes and tiny dicks is a circle.
I’m up 192% for the year, so I’ll take the tiny dick jokes. Admittedly the signal to noise ratio is pretty awful, but the assets themselves can be smart investments.

If the protocol is badly designed, yes.
In theory, the stakers should only be rewarded for correctly confirming transaction and that capital (staked tokens) should carry no votes in any protocol changes.

It's called a use case because you can use it.

An additional vector to avoid censorship.

It can happen. That would involved cutting off access to all crypto for that individual. It's not common.
Even on the token side there are often blacklist addresses (e.g. USDC) that perform a similar function. Usually for hacks rather than terrorism.

If it's censored by the government, it'd fall under use-case #2.

True. But the recent itch.io controversy was NGO lead.
