I had my paypal still alive now so I hope for them to reconsider the policies and make it a lighter and more convenient. I'm using paypal as another payment method for more than 5 years and I don't have encountered any problem so far as I already linked my card it my account.
Even I had my PayPal account a few years ago. But here in India, the government imposed all sort of restrictions on PayPal, making it useless for freelancers. And this is also one of the reasons why freelancers in India started accepting their wages in Bitcoin or Ethereum, rather than PayPal USD. The restrictions are still there and hardly anyone is using PayPal in India nowadays. And with all these limitations in place, I don't think that they (PayPal) will ever make Bitcoins available for Indian users.
