even harder is finding a payment system that is not US-based and broadly accepted (no, not crypto).

I do have some hopes for a digital euro and, maybe, maybe, even Wero. But i fear it will never take off because too many players are involved and there is no clear marketing strategy to get it to people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment)

The is a completely legitimate and not uncommon viewpoint. But is it relevant in the context of this thread?

But it's worth the effort.
