Are you sure PayPal supports BTC and other crypto? Because I can't find a crypto option or wallet on my PayPal account, it only supports local currency.
Or is PayPal BTC not supported in my country yet?
If you are not base on US, then you won't see this option for now.
I am not from the US and that's why I don't see it either.
It's been so long since I've used my PayPal account for transactions online and went with my former side hustles even before I get into the forum.
I don't really care about using PayPal. Privacy is important to me, especially when it comes to crypto. I would never want my government to know that I am a crypto user and that I have an important asset like Bitcoin. Even paying with Bitcoin is very annoying for me, I would definitely prefer a decentralized wallet as an online payment for private purchases. The main purpose of crypto is privacy and decentralization, so why would I use a decentralized currency in a centralized way when it is not private at all? It doesn't make sense to me.
This is a good mindset if you don't want any intervention and data of websites like PayPal sent to the government.
While this doesn't apply and work for us. Those that are not oriented a lot with crypto, they'll go ahead and use it inside PayPal because to them, the company is trustworthy.
