As long as Pints with Aquinas, New Polity, or Russell Brand continue to use the internet to sell to the world, they are beholden to unjust or disincentivized mediators that can shut down their source of income on a whim, until a tool like bitcoin is embraced.
This is, I think, the inherent contradiction in their attitudes that you need to hammer 🔨 .
They're happy to use modern tech for their marketplace, but their currency is antiquated and controlled by people who hate them.
