I'll be 'that guy'. This is the number one use case for a cryptocurrency in my opinion - a decentralized microtransaction system.

This isn't the first time Patreon has faced these issues and services like PayPal are notorious for closing your account then giving you the finger.

I don't want to give my credit card info to 30 different sites or services or creators I want to support. I don't want a bunch of small recurring charges from different places on my credit card. And most of all, I don't want a service to arbitrarily be able to decide (or have others force their hand as in this case) what I am and am not allowed to support.

I don't think the technology or people are remotely near ready for mainstream adoption yet but it is still the most compelling use case I've seen.

Well, all it takes is for the system to make it impossible to convert crypto to fiat.
