I'll happily pay when they accept either crypto or an envelope of cash. There is no way to separate electronic payments or transfers from my personal identity and I don't consider it usefully "private" to have any account directly traceable to that. Trust is a limited and increasingly valuable commodity, and I'm conserving mine.

That said, there's probably a decent opportunity for second hand, no-strings-attached accounts to now be legitimately purchased then laundered anonymously through an arbitrary middleman without having use burner accounts stolen from innocent people or created with stolen identities. So maybe that'll be an improvement for privacy. Privacy shouldn't have to be illegal or inconvenient (but of course they want it to be).

And it's one-time payment.
