I don’t understand why there are so many posts here saying ‘just use crypto’, like - PayPal is a scam and needs a replacement but the problem is until sites start accepting crypto as simply as PayPal works then things will stay the same.

What you’re saying to do in your comment - on most major online retailers - is not yet possible, and it will probably take a long time even if it can find critical mass.

Crypto is another currency - it’s not another payment processor and while those are starting to exist we are nowhere close.

I believe the laments here are more so related to PayPal’s dominance - for most websites it’s that or your credit card.
