Hm. Apparently I can "buy" "bitcoin" in Paypal. However I have to set up a "cash account" and they want my SSN/TIN and DOB.
I don't think I ever gave them that before. Need to think about this for awhile.
Paypal is trying to be a bank now...so indeed...I figure I'm so odd that I'm already on any radar of any note with any government or institution so don't sweat it anymore...
