I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake - lemm.ee

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄) Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell. This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor. Fuck PayPal.

I haven’t used PayPal in over 10 years. Why don’t you just leave the service?

Because it’s convenient for paying online (one login instead of having to search my debit card and also, if I got scammed, there’d be another layer of protection for me) and it’s convenient for sending money to friends when we order pizza together or sth like that. What’s the alternative?

Bitcoin? Ether?

Really? Crypto? For one, I know almost no online shop that takes crypto, almost no person I’d send money to has crypto and I don’t want to own crypto either since it’s rather unstable…

Price Crypto at the one-year simple moving average, and the volatility stops. I personally use crypto all the time and make my budget using the one-year simple moving average and it completely eliminates the issue with the volatility because that average takes a very long time to move.

Cool, let’s say your average per year is a value of 50?

Meanwhile in the real world; apple costs 1 in january and 100 in december.

But yeah bro that yearly average.

You crypto bros are like a cult.

Better than back when they were saying we’d all be paying for our groceries with Bitcoin in a few years. And every time I pointed out that I wanted my milk to be the same price today as it was yesterday and tomorrow, they got mad.
