Below is an excerpt of an email I received from a US-based peptide website/vendor. (I deleted items that I believe would be promotion-oriented, and all ellipses are mine).
A Difficult—and Urgent—Update
I’m not going to hide behind corporate-speak. I'm writing to you today because we have a serious problem, and I need to be 100% transparent with you.
As of yesterday, our ability to process credit cards has been abruptly paused.
We received a BRAM (Business Risk Assessment and Mitigation) Notice from Mastercard. This isn't a random event. This is a targeted, industry-wide action.
For years, "other industries" have been pressuring payment processors to cut off independent research companies. Their goal is simple: to control the market, limit your access, and shut down anyone who offers fair, independent pricing.
They are trying to squeeze us—and you—out of the picture.
We’ve always known this day might come. And we are 100% prepared.
We are NOT shutting down. We are 100% operational.
But to move forward, we need to bypass these gatekeepers. This means until we can get this cleared (if we even can..), we can no longer accept credit cards.
From now on, we will be accepting P2P (Peer-to-Peer) payments. The options are now live at checkout:
Cash App
Zelle
I know this is an inconvenience. I know it’s not as simple as typing in a credit card number. But using these methods is how we fight back. It’s how we declare our independence from a system that wants to control us.
A New Idea. A Better Future?
This fight has given me a new, powerful idea.
The 10% credit card fees were never the real issue. The real issue is the control.
What if we cut them out for good?
I am seriously considering building a second, completely separate website. This new site would ONLY accept Bitcoin, ….
This is a massive project, and I will only do it if you are interested. This is where I need your help.
Please, just hit "Reply" to this email and let me know:
1. A simple "YES" if you would use a Bitcoin-only site …..
2. A simple "NO" if you would not.
Your vote will determine our next move.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we navigate this. We are in this together, and we will not let them win.
Sincerely,
