This is a very good reason to move to crypto.

You know who could really take advantage of this situation? JCB. It's a credit card processor in Japan similar to Mastercard and Visa. If they went to the game platforms and offered censorship free and opened up their card use in other countries, things could get interesting.

I don't really get how this thing works, but I heard JCB uses their own infrastructure (network?) domestically and just piggyback off of Visa and/or MasterCard overseas. Is it as simple as JCB just saying hey we wanna let people living outside Japan apply for their cards?

What about interac? Could that also work?
