According to your other comments, you opt in to getting paid in bitcoin. That's your choice. So you're creating the hassle. Do you think your answer is in the spirit of the question?

> That's a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of economics, then. Capping the number of medical schools can't cause higher demand for doctors. It can restrict the supply, which means that the prices will be higher, but it does

No, you want the primary action to look clearly like a button and the others to look like secondary links to minimize cognitive load. A list of button-like shapes that do wildly different things is not good UX.

The insane thing about this app is it still allows some numbers through that they have identified as "severe threats". So AT&T are allowing known severe threats to go through. The app works pretty well most of the time. I just
