It boggles my mind that people don't see that the inability to block/reject payments is a fundamental flaw of cryptocurrency.




Why would there be a "fundamental" reason for an inability to block/reject payments in cryptocurrencies? Ethereum smart contract can already do that. Just exit with an error while processing an incoming payment.


Are you saying that someone can't deposit money into random bank account?


I'm saying people can close their bank accounts.


Unless Wells Fargo opens them back up


You can do that with a smart contract if you plan ahead for the possibility that you want to do so.
