After Stripe had already caused issues with the very first payment to my business account, PayPal has now followed suit, also blocking the first incoming payment and demanding extra documents. So my client and I immediately switched to Bitcoin and handled it permissionlessly.
Not long after, I shut down my PayPal account. For the cancellation reason (inspired by my client's email), I wrote:
"Far too invasive for a payment provider. Thanks for helping speed up Bitcoin adoption with your practices!"
From this point on, I accept international payments exclusively in Bitcoin or, in rare cases, via direct SEPA bank transfer maybe with Bitwage in between for clients in Europe.
