What if WordPress just doesn't want to support terrorists?



You'd need to ask HSBC, they're pro at laundering money to terrorist organizations.

The moral of the story is if you have enough billions of dollars, the system will usually the turn the other cheek.

HSBC also launders billions for mexican drug cartels:

I take it you've been reading about the latest HSBC scandal? Aiding and abetting tax evasion for the rich elite?
Centralized banking systems have proven time and time again they can't be trusted.

I'm not a libertarian so no I don't think it's a good thing.

I don't mind paying some taxes as long as their fair and proportionate.

While we're on the topic of banks, not only do they launder money, but they rig the Gold price as well!!!!

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/24/us-usa-banks-probe-idUSKBN0LS07P20150224

It seems they huddle amongst eachother like a frat or old boys club...

Quote
HSBC Holdings Plc, Bank of Nova Scotia, Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Societe Generale, Standard Bank Group Ltd and UBS Group AG

...and just pick a price out of thin air to set the gold price and other precious metals.  And we all thought just the stock market is rigged! (Flash Boys, read that book if you can)


Can't trust these fucking banks man... Undecided

And here we are squabbling over measly Wordpress removing a Bitcoin payment option.

It's my understanding that the rich elite pay a dispraportionately large share of taxes.
Why should they pay a larger percentage of their rightfully earned billions than you from your job flipping burgers?  Big Banks just helps Big Biz even the playing field Smiley

It's the complete opposite. The rich pay little or no tax thanks to all the loopholes, I guarantee I pay a larger proportion of my wages flipping burgers than some hedgefund manager with offshore accounts.

Yes, we need to increase the size & budget 4 IRS, to make such blatant injustice a thing of the past.  Your complaint is duly noted.

No doubt about that... something which I agree as well. Probably when bitcoin has gone mainstream with more customers going to use btc, they will have no choice but to make available the payment option. Else, I see them losing the business to their competitors.

If you want to pay for WordPress with Bitcoin, it's still pretty straightforward:

1. Buy BTC with USD.
2. Sell BTC for USD.
3. Pay WordPress.

Easy peasy Smiley
