to clarify, i'm not against pine store account. actually it might be good idea for returns, issues and tickets. it's that third party account and particularly paypal the company and its corporate policies, which is problematic.
i'm not convinced about crypto. cryptos are intended for exchange of medium, but quite often it is a some kind investment system. and scammers use it as well. cryptos are marketed as a decentralized system, but i'm not so convinced. cryptos are built by small group initially and rules are frozen, thus crypto is not controlled by community of crypto users.
I agree totally, I am just against paypal because they are a terrible company often times trying to mis handle small business, as I am against that and want to support small businesses I rather not use paypal at all. I got a creditcard just for this reason to find out I still need to use them to make payments with creditcards.
Its like all the big companies do, first they take over the market, then they force you to use them .
I don't have crypto so i can't comment on that but for me the solution would be to be able to use my creditcard directly and not trough paypal since they abuse the whole process.
Its angering since I love pine products and the community behind it.
