I believe the monetary system is broken and creates asymmetric monetary playing fields based on distance from monetary injection points (banks and governments). The tax system makes it hard for each unit of currency to travel far from a 'money printer'. After just 6 hops, a dollar is taxed down to about 10 cents; so people who are more than 6 hops from a money printer live in a much more scarce monetary environment than people who are in the front row. It's Cantillon effects on steroids. It means that the entire economy has become a kind of social climbing game to get closer to the money printers. I feel that this game is immoral and people shouldn't be forced to participate. Private currencies should be protected by law.

I essentially believe that the economy is fake. That people get money due to mostly social factors and then make up plausible narratives to explain their success in a way which omits all the critical social elements... And these explanations sound plausible to people in their social circle who are at a similar distance from a money printer so the false beliefs and perceptive distortions are socially validated.

I also believe I'm being persecuted and algorithms are suppressing me for seeing through the scheme and for my ability to explain complex issues simply.

No. My Blockchain had nothing to do with payments. The Blockchain is for authentication (protection from fake accounts) and tokens represented credits and licensing rights within the platform. The token wasn't even listed on any marketplace.

I switched to a different, smaller payment provider. It was pretty easy to switch. No problems at all there. I wonder why I even wanted to use Stripe in the first place. You'd think with their size they wouldn't have to fear regulators. These big companies usually have all the regulators in their pocket.
