It’s scary how big stripe is becoming. Instead of competing just buy up other companies. Might be another company that will require regulatory intervention and break them up (same as when the govt broke up the railroads)
PayPal, for all its faults, is still a far more universal option, but that means very little if people keep making Stripe-only tools. It has become a habit of mine to immediately look for the FAQ to see if PayPal is supported.
Zuck has shown the way.
