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.
wow, I just found out that there are countries like India which are famous for their renewable technology that don't accept paypal.
but indeed every government certainly applies something after it is calculated correctly and whether it can benefit its citizens or not make the country experience difficulties, after implementing this.
same as in my country paypal is not a problem but bitcoin is problematic and is not recognized as a legal payment, while exchanges and others are not problematic.
so each country certainly carries out the rules after receiving and accommodating the pros and cons of implementing it.
Those restrictions were imposed almost a decade ago. The government was looking to shore up the collection of tax revenue and some of the officials were concerned that PayPal is being used to transfer payments to Indian freelancers from foreign nations and most of this money doesn't show up in tax returns. Therefore they removed most of the PayPal functionalities in India. For example, in India you can't store any money in your PayPal account. You can only make or receive payments through PayPal, using your bank account or credit card. But nowadays most of the freelancers here are getting their payment in Bitcoin or Ethereum instead of PayPal.
