Canadians Complain About Online Payment Systems

· One min read

Since 1990, the internet's 402 Payment Required status code has been designed, yet nearly thirty years later, online payments still do not provide a seamless experience.

  1. I saw an article online and just wanted to pay to support it, but you made me create an account, set a password, fill in my credit card number, and then I get bombarded with endless spam.
  2. Payments should be as convenient as browsing—one-click payments without needing to fill in an account, just using crypto tokens. However, centralized payments are monopolized by large companies.
  3. Content creators are forced to rely on ads; only the big players can win, and they become shameless in their pursuit of money.
  4. The internet urgently needs a foundational framework that incentivizes creativity and protects privacy. While Bitcoin is not the answer, blockchain has potential.
