    So you’d rather use the platform run by treacherous robbers called PayPal ? So we can’t use Stripe (ok fine) & we can’t use PayPal, ok any suggestions ? Cuz I got one GNU-Taler

      Why deposit your money with a central authority? The linked website points out that Taler adds instant confirmation to Bitcoin, but you can already get that using the Lightning Network - without custodial risk.

          Your wallet stores digital coins that are blindly signed by an exchange. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account. (Source)

          When you add dollars or bitcoins or whatever to Taler, you’re making a deposit.
